I'd guess ~$180 gas @ 18mpg (800mi), can't begin to guess the headache factor.. for starters, interstate leaves beau-coup yech on cleanable surfaces, meetheenks diesel yech on a mattress might be hard to clean.

yea factor in the tolls, time wasted (as in what is your time worth), traffic, chance of some funny, and I mean funny shit happening, plus food, plus drinks, plus smokes, plus protecting the mattress from the "yech". I don't know if I would mess with going 800mi to pick up a mattress.
