Hey, I have a fairly new mattress at my old apartment that I need to move to my new apartment basically tomorrow/new year's eve. The mattress is $500 and since it's only a half mile move the mover's fees will be around $100-150 probably.
The real catch is that in a couple weeks I'll have to do this again (moving to a more permanent arrangement a block away), and since nofriends and nolicense I can't really do it on my own.
Should I spend ~50% of its cost on moving it, or just donate it to charity and buy a new one? Charity sounds like a nice thing to do

But .. what about the rest of you stuff ? Regardless .. if you can afford a new one go with the charity - as you write it's a good thing to do

Rest of my stuff is easy to carry. I hate the idea of owning anything over 40 pounds that can't be rolled or dismantled.
Semi related, are there any old-fashioned stuffed/layered mattresses that are any good?
Fuck movers, rent a uHaul and grab a buddy. Return the uHaul same day and its $17 when they refund the initial $80. Buy your buddy some fuckin tacos and you just moved everything for $40. Plus you get tacos.

Only futons imo .. personally considering buying a memory foam top mattress

If you don't have access to a van or a pick up, for the sake of half a mile I'd offer a couple of young lads a slab of beer to just carry it over there.

Donate it to the curb.
Buy an air mattress and a pump. Refill mattress every few days.
Or just sleep on the ground. You really don't need a mattress. You will adapt to the ground in a few days.
