I have all of the props I need for my upcoming short film except for beds for the prison cells. I'm looking for a SMALL bed, cot, or mattress to throw on the floor. Any suggestions? I haven't been too lucky finding a place in my area to rent them.

Seriously dude? Come on man this one is easy. I have a hard time believing you can't find a mattress!

Rent? Buy a used on on craigslist. done. Or buy a new cot, they're cheap.

Small. Multiple.

Like I said, cots. Buy one or two, move them around as needed for shooting different ones.
