<p>My son is moving into the fraternity house on his campus. I don’t know what type of mattress to buy him, or where I should look. I know that dorm mattresses are generally covered in plastic. Any suggestions would be apprecitated.</p>
<p>Well I think he shoud definitely try it out himself. Maybe he needs an extralong, maybe he wants a queen or full mattress. My son bought a full for himself the first time he needed to buy one and so did daughter. Definitely go to a large store and buy a known brand, not a hole in the wall unknown one as there was a scandal a while back in which some small unknown brands were using OLD mattress frames, like from the dump. They opened the mattresses with a knife fright on camera and it was disgusting, molds, dirt, obviously old mattresses covered with new fabric.
And how about those old dorm mattresses? Good grief how could anyone sleep on those? Look like old rejects from the county prison.</p>
<p>Or…take a walk on the wild side and buy a WATERBED!!! Yeah!</p>
