I do not rent my home. Many people who rent out their houses (they are not their homes) consider this just a business. If the bed is uncomfortable, they don't care. If you don't rent their house someone else will. I suggest you go online and find a mattress cover that will fit their beds that will supply some type of comfort and bring it with you.

Agreed OP. And another rental item I couldn't stand was the GROSSSSSSSS toilet bowl brush. I changed it up for them/me every time. Not a costly item. Just change it up for every new renter!!!!

I would measure most slumlords in Florida (especially those in The Villages) aren’t out for accommodation of your sleeping patterns. They just want the cash. We have seen a couple in our day. They get by as cheaply as they can. Watch out for bedbugs, they love the warmer climates LoL.

So what if you have a bad back, they have your money already.

LOL! You are so right! Just think how many mattresses you have to try just to get one that works for you….in the store!

Let's put bed comfort aside for the moment and think is it sanitary. Look even the most diligent person will have a cleaning service come in and they will leave the place spotless, but they don't clean what you can't see. I'm sure we have all have seen segments on the news showing investigators inspecting a hotel room with a black light and what they discovered on those beds. As I posted before if you want some type of comfort and the protection of not seeping in someone else germs bring you own mattress cover. They sell them on Amazon from about $40 to $125.

We bought mattress for our preference, would have no idea how one would please thousands of renters.

Our parents used our brand new 1week old home, with all new furniture. (We loved our furniture, as did our home watch person) My parents hated the mattress in the master, but tolerated the guest room. They hated the lounge chair, couch, and loveseat. Loved the dining set, but not the kitchen set. Tolerated the top of the line cookware. Hated the pepper grinder (can’t you just buy a pepper shaker)

I got weekly sometime daily grumbling. They absolutely hated the golf cart, because it didn’t have the hard enclosure.

I would remind them…You are staying at our home for 5.5 months for FREE.
That complaining and ingratitude would have driven me up a wall!

But what is a comfortable mattress for one person, is definitely not for another. Our parents hated our $8,000 mattress, but was just ok with the $2,500 mattress in guest bedroom.

Never worried to much about mattresses, both wife and I can sleep on pretty much any type.
But.
My wife never travels anywhere without her own pillow, ever.
That pillow has more air miles than Richard Branson!

PS. Youngest daughter is same. Think it is hereditary.

But one doesn’t get a choice on who your parents are, so the child who gives them a free home to use for any length of time, is the child they are always so critical of.

The child who can’t stand on their own feet, is the favorite and would never complain about anything to that child

Hopefully we have instilled better values in our children, and grands, who happily stay at any of our homes, and try to pay for anything or everything
