Is this PFB or just gross?

I thought baby mattress should always be bought new.

Am AIBU to be horrified by this stained holy thing found in a shed? And the fact that its actually being SOLD..

That is minging.

But just as an aside, I couldn't bear the idea of throwing away a perfectly good mattress when I was pregnant with my second son. After all, my first son had only slept on it for about 18 months and we are (always) skint.

I did LOADS of googling and reading about why you should buy a new mattress for every child and couldn't really find any definite reason. Some websites said it was to do with mould spores, some said it was because the mattress would have been moulded into the shape of the other child's body and would be uncomfortable, and the FSID said it wasn't necessary. So I kept the one we had, although I did wash the cover. Think it's just another way of making mums cough up cash to be honest (don't even get me started on the car seats only last for five years business...)

That's disgusting - although I note there have been no bids on the item.

When I read about the 'stained holy thing' I clicked on it looking for the face of Jesus in the stain - I couldn't find it

That is beyond disgusting. It should be burned immediately. No human should be made to lie on that and I would have difficulty allowing my dog to lie on it even if it were just in the garden (which it would never be) Some people have no shame and no standards and will flog anything on Ebay.

i am tempted to buy it so i can take it directly to the tip.

That is fucking rank!

Yuk yuk yuk.

Ew! I like Val's idea for it, though. Things should be put to good use, whenever possible. Safe use, though.

The Ann Summers thing, however, is [vom].
