Do you have a couch and if so, is it comfy? If sleeping on it is an option for a fee months I'd do that while trying out some of @crime@hexbear.net 's advice. That advice should still be a stop gap on the way to a good mattress tho, it is one of the few things in life that it's worth paying more for the best quality possible. You use it 8 hours a day ish. My back is an absolute place of devastation and I'm in my early 30s and it's for sure partially due to sleeping pretty much wherever I landed for a good 15 years. Bad couches, air mattresses, ditches, bushes, shitty cushions tsken from old futons in a pile. If you gotta slum it a bit until then it's probably worthwhile and if half decently cared for you should get a solid decade or so out of one.
