My parents came up to visit a few weekends ago, and offered to bring us their old bed frame. Our mattress has just been on a cheap platform since we got it, so we were excited about getting a real, adult-looking, and free bed. We hauled the pieces of the bed frame into our building, assembled them, and triumphantly lowered our mattress into place, only to find:

| Sadness. |
It didn't fit.

Apparently all these years we have had a full mattress, and for some reason I have mistakenly believed it was a queen. I always thought our sheets seemed kind of baggy, but assumed the sheet companies must just give you extra room, you know, to be nice or something. I am very good at rationalizing.
Anyway, after a few days of precariously climbing in and out of the too-large bed frame to get to our mattress, we finally caved and bought a new, correctly-sized one.
So now we have a nice new free bed, and it only cost us one mattress.
You forgot to mention the astounding difference in comfort level, which money cannot buy.
