from the two times i bought mattresses and one time I sold one:
You at least used to be able to get a half-decent memory foam mattress for a few hundred bucks from online retailers. Since they can roll 'em up and vacuum seal them, it’s easy for them to transport them. These are like 3-4 inches of memory foam, no box spring, but still decently comfortable especially if you’re aiming to save up for a better one eventually.
Look for factory-direct local mattress retailers. May or may not exist near where you are, but in a larger city you’ve got a shot. They’re like half the cost vs mattress firm or similar stores and ime the quality is better too.
Half a step above the shitstained road mattress: You could check to see if the people moving out of your new place are interested in selling theirs to you — since mattresses are hard to resell they might not plan on keeping it
I got myself a Zinus hybrid mattress for Xmas.
Different from the other one another person has linked, that one isn’t a hybrid, its all memory foam.
The ‘hybrid’ is 1/2 inch layer of cooling foam, on top of 4 inches of memory foam, on top of 6 inch springs.
All rolled up into a box that takes a few minutes to unroll, then you cut off the plastic and it inflates to about 90% of its full size in 10 minutes, then another 6 hours for the other 10%.
No box spring. Just put in on the floor or a metal frame with crossbars or slats.
Queen sized… $130 from Walmart. They get them from China.
You can find them priced similarly on Amazon as well, maybe a bit more expensive (+20 to 40 bucks).
Meanwhile, everything comparable from an actual mattress nearby store is at least 4x more expensive.
The way they do ‘firmness’ is just by varying the thickness of the memory foam. 2 inch is firm, 4 inch is standard, 6 inch is plush.

Maybe I have just never actually had a decent mattress in my life, but this is the most comfortable thing I’ve ever slept on.
As in, I spent a year homeless, tore and seriously strained a whole bunch of muscles and tendons… and every single day since getting this mattress I feel noticably better, have less pain, and my ranges of motion are inproving.
Went from taking fistfuls of ibuprofen and acetometaphen every day to not be in screaming agony to… not needing to do that, not being in constant excruciating pain.
Depending on where OP lives, I’ve twice now gotten a pretty good memory foam mattress in a box for a few hundred bucks at Fred Meyers during one of their holiday sales
Got the second one because it’s hell to move a mattress to another apartment after it’s been unboxed
