Its not a good idea, I think you should sleep on it.
£70 will get you this
Ha ha thats brilliant
Don’t skimp when buying a bed. If it’s cheap and nasty and not firm enough you might regret it when your back starts playing up and you have to buy a door to place under the mattress!
I bought a double bed in Germany, the salesman gave this advice:
If you are getting older (we all are but that’s German logic for you), don’t buy a bed that is too low down because as you go to sit on it your legs might give way and you could injure yourself, he said sprained wrists were common.
If you like a cool room but a warmer bed, buy a bed which is NOT a divan, that way the air can circulate underneath.
If you keep your room warm it is OK to buy a divan type bed.
Beds with foot-ends prevent the duvet hanging over the end of the bed applying pressure to your feet. (I didn’t tell him the one about the Princess and the Pea).
Good Shopping!
Forgot to add: KaneStatton, that one's a gem, I'm still laughing now!!

+1 I got one from Argos and I had the worst 6months at night ever, got to the point where the springs has started poking out of the mattress and you could see the points on the outside (those things are damn sharp) took it back for a full refund. Never again!!
Went round lots of bed shops after that and spent £170 on a new mattress and I've honestly never slept better. The frame is a personal choice but the mattress bit is really important and you need to go down the shops and spend a long time trying them and making sure you get the right one for you.
Or just spend more and get an ACTUAL bed, besides you spend almost a third of your life doing so, why bother being so cheap!
