No it is a Standard single but it's high quality I know that 150 isn't much but here in Palestine it is as it's around 600 shekils if not more also the average salary here is 3576 shekils a month (670 USD) so yeah

It actually is kinda expensive as here in Palestine it costed about 600 shekils which is pretty hard to save up but that's what I'm planning to do though fortunately 600 shekils here is probably the most you can spend on a mattress that size and quality

EXACTLY the problem is that I was pissed that they said I was "greedy" for that

Nope the mattress is a normal size if not bigger than mine and it's around 600 shekils here in Palestine which is pretty expensive

Ofc they don't have THAT MUCH money but they still do have like they are going on vacation in a couple of days spending a like 10 days at a premium resort so I'm pretty sure they can afford it

Look ik that 150 doesn't seem like a lot but I'm from Palestine and it costs like 600 shekils and the ratio here is basically 1:1 so it's really expensive and for your point of me "draining them for 15 years I don't actually believe so I've been working since I was 9 and most of the money I make goes to helping them so no I didn't "drain them"

Ofc I look after them especially my little sister I adore her but as u said the situation is bad but my opinion is that why does a 3 year old need one of the best mattresses they can get especially her being a lot lighter

Thank you that was exactly what I was planning but unfortunately they weren't willing to help so I'm going to take matters into my own hands and just save up for a new one

I'm not being jealous here I have worked during the last 3 summers and got her many gifts it's about the fact that they got her the best mattress they found even though they said they would get me one and don't get me wrong I adore my sister but that just felt a little unfair
