I’m moving in early June, and I’ll be needing a bed frame in my new place. Is there an option to purchase the bed and delay shipping until after/around my actual move in date?

Hi everyone,

I'm in the process of sourcing a queen-sized Mattress for me and my partner for our new place. Unfortunately, due to some distance that won't be alleviated until after she moves, choosing a mattress has fallen solely on my shoulders.

The easiest route seems to be Costco at a glance - cheaper mattresses that would likely hold up well enough considering our smaller heights(5'5 -5'9) and weights (150 and 180). I really value saving money at this point in our lives, so a $500 mattress that lasts us 5ish years seems like a solid possibility.

On the other hand, I stumbled onto the idea of DIY mattresses from this post:

The base build suggested here seems like it would land at just around $1000, which is definitely higher than many of the cheaper options. it also seems like it would be easier to replace individual parts, and might end up giving us an overall higher quality mattress for the price point.

Everything I've found on here seem to be from years ago at this point, so would love to just gauge what anyone's suggestion would be to a first time mattress shopper that doesn't really have the opportunity to go and try out beds at this point in time (or at least only 1 person can test out beds, which certainly makes it less effective.)
