I'm not sure how I came up with the idea, but I decided that I could make my own mattress. And, thankfully, my parents and husband were crazy enough to help me out!
Step 1:
Order 2 Twin-size Ketly PVC-free air mattresses from REI. (PVC-free is the key here. These are made out of TPI which is horrible for the environment to manufacture, but it does not off-gas. Also, you want two twins as opposed to one queen because if two people are sleeping on the queen you'll never get the air-pressure right unless you're both always in the bed at the same time.)
Step 2:
Build a king size frame out of plywood and 2x4s to lay on top of existing queen size platform bed.
Step 3:
Buy a thick king size mattress pad from Khol's on clearance and wash it a few times.
Step 4:
Round up old sleeping bags, flannel sheets, and blankets from around the house.
Step 5:
Cover the plywood platform bed with a layer or two of flannel sheets. And then put your bed-skirt on over it.
Step 6:
Blow-up beds and put them next to each other.
Step 7:
So that the beds don't make noise touching each other, take an old cotton sheet and put it between the two mattresses.
Step 8:
Put down your "comfort layers" of old sleeping bags, blankets, etc.
Step 9:
Cover all the comfort layers with the mattress pad. (Note: sometimes our mattress pad gets buried below sleeping bags because we have to borrow the sleeping bags from our bed for sleep overs!)
Step 10:
Make up your new bed with cozy sheets!!!!
And, in case you think the bed is only for home, here is our bed in our tent this past October:

A fantasy room begins with a fantasy bed right? Well in the event that you can't bear the cost of a fresh out of the plastic new quaint little inn a change, you might need to think about purchasing as a bedding cushion or cover at a sleeping pad deal.

When this is new, I can do at best mattresses for side sleeper when this must be done at best mattress for back and so...
To get the best out of your chosen mattress try a mattress protector. They're available in anti-allergy or waterproof styles, and are machine-washable. Mattress toppers add a luxurious extra layer to your mattress. They provide extra support and comfort and will generally provide a cosier feel to your bed.
