Floor mattress short-term?
Okay briefly; moisture and pests are risks — use a base when you can.
How long should it last?
Years with a protector and rotation — cheap foam can sag faster.

Buying in Ghana without getting burned
Ignore the loudest Facebook caption. Ghana is 220–240V. Ask for the warranty card and whether the shop will still be there next month. If the product plugs into the wall, cheap unrated extension boards fail first when power returns.
If they cannot show a box, nameplate, or a return window in writing, walk.
What to verify before you pay
Write down Thickness for your bed frame, Breathable cover for Ghana heat, and Edge support if you sit to wear shoes before you leave the shop. Ghana listings often reuse a photo from a different model. If the seller cannot show the box, nameplate, or a return window, treat the deal as a demo unit.
Power quality matters as much as the gadget. Shared meters, sudden restoration after lights-out, and cheap extension boards kill appliances faster than “heavy use.” If it draws mains power, budget a real surge protector — not a four-way strip with no rating.
If you only remember three things from this page, make them Thickness for your bed frame, Breathable cover for Ghana heat, and Edge support if you sit to wear shoes. Write them on your phone before you pay.
Extra checks
Should you buy the cheapest listing?
Usually no. For Mattress Buying Guide for Students and Renters in Ghana, the gap is warranty, spare parts, and whether the box spec matches the photo. A slightly dearer unit with a real return desk in Accra or Kumasi is cheaper than a brick.
Online or a physical shop?
A shop lets you inspect Thickness for your bed frame. Online is fine if the seller has a Ghana return address you can actually visit.
