Where can I get a bed? I am a single mother and cannot afford a bed for myself. Somebody stole my bed and I am sleeping on a cot at the moment and really need a bed.
It would help if we knew if you were in a large city or small town. I would get on the phone and call churches and ask whoever you talk to if there is a bulletin board for their parish.I'll be some family has an extra bed and even someone would have a truck to help deliver it.Call any food bank organization because they usually have links to other sorts of help. If there is a craigslist for your area, look under free listing. There are always people giving away beds. Facebook too is a good place to put out the word. Hope this helps.
Don't know where you live, but here in Illinois we have a site called "Freecycle". Give it a try.
If you live in a larger city where there is a Salvation Army, you can get a voucher once a year for a piece of furniture - I'm assuming a bed would be furniture, right. Doesn't hurt to try!
Try hope to dream by Ashley Furniture. They gave both of my kids beds

I am 62 yrs old. I am single with no one to help me. I have heart disease as well as other medical problems. Does anyone know where I can get a cheap or free bed?
By D.M. Peterson
Go to the office of your local Salvation Army and tell them you need a bed and they will give you a voucher to take to their Thrift Store for a free bed. That being said, if they have any beds. Also most thrift stores won't let people pick from the best choices for free items. They usually have a separate section of free stuff. Another thing most of the thrift stores require that you pick up the items yourself.

How do I get a bed? I had to throw my bed out; it was infested with bed bugs. My apartment has been fumigated and bombed 4 weeks in a row so now the bugs are gone, but I am sleeping on the floor. With the hip replacement and my heart valve repair I am in pain almost constantly.
The Salvation Army cannot help, Catholic Charities does not give vouchers any more, and I am on a fixed income. How do I get a bed or even a good clean air bed?You do not say if you have a way to pick up a bed/mattress so that may be your biggest problem as many "give-a-ways" do not provide delivery so be sure that you ask about this when you call or visit any of these suggested sites.
I'm a single mother with 3 children. I just recently moved back to Indiana and am getting ready to start my job on Monday. I'm looking for some help with beds for myself and the kids. Is there anyone that can help me out?
When I moved I rented a storage unit and had the majority of my things stored, but there were some of our belonging that I didn't get into the storage unit before we left and someone promised to put them in there for us and unfortunately they never made it there. Now we are all sleeping on the floor in our new trailer and I haven't got the funds to go out and buy beds. Any information on a place that could help me with this would be greatly appreciated!
This is a link that has information about obtaining beds in your state (all states, you have to scroll down to find your state and county):
You may also find help with your State's United Way program: www.iuw.org/
Be aware that at this moment--3 21-20--all resources in all states are all absorbed with the COVID crisis so you may or may not get results from any inquiry.
You may need to go as local as you can and call (DON'T TRY TO GO IN PERSON) every church and religious group in your town and see if anyone can offer guidance.
Prayers for solutions for you.
Post back with an update.
I'm in need of 2 twin beds for my children, but we can't afford new ones. We're extremely low income.
I'd like to know of any programs that would help families in need with beds and bedding in Iowa please.You can put an ad on Freecycle or Craigslist. Churches can also help.
You can search Craigslist under for sale > free and some people post free beds, bedding there. Good luck!
The free stuff section of your Craigslist or Nextdoor.com in your city should have some. Good luck!!!!!
My brother James is in his 50s and has brain cancer. He just found that out 2 weeks ago. He has no money. We are looking for a bed set for him. It has to be at least a full or queen size. We are looking for something very cheap or place to contact for a donation.
I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find a bed. I don't have one. I'm disabled and haven't had one in 3 years.
