I doubt a bmx bike is gonna create a fire hazard.

I would hit up every upholstery shop I could find. They are the ones that use foam the most. Ask them if you can have what they throw out.

Get yourself a serta so when you land on it you'll fall straight asleep... Or one of those that the other person doesn't feel it when you get outta bed...

Since your looking for free......my suggestion would be to steal mattresses from the winos sleeping under bridges. Or ask an upholestery shop:D
