All these overpriced mattresses and pillows. Three of every 10 commercials are for some overpriced mattress or that fuckng MyPillow. Fuck that guy and his pillow.

Honest to god, it's sleeping, it isn't that hard. When you are tired you will fall asleep. I fell asleep driving a car once, you know why? Because I was tired, not because I had some super comfort, body form fitting, pillow top driver's seat, it's because I was tired.

People are spending thousands on this shit and it's just a waste of money. That flip, fold, contort, feather top, foam top, vibrating, overpriced piece of shit won't help you sleep any better. Why do you think they spend so much on advertising them? Because they are making a killing on people spending so much money on them.

I'm sure someone here will tell me how they bought one and it's changed their life, but all it changed was your bank account.

Nobody will ever be able to top organized religion when it comes to fleecing people out of their money, but these mattress people are making a good run at it.

Yes. Because you can't sleep on your shitty bed.

No, I sleep there just fine, just like on the couch or in my chair, etc... I had just got back from Vegas and couldn't sleep on the plane due to someone's support chicken keeping me awake the whole time.

Well your personal experiences don't diminish the fact that beds are different. Now, I'm not saying you're wrong in the fact that some of these beds are ridiculously overpriced, but there definitely is a difference between a truly shity bed and a decent one.

I agree 100%. I'm not saying throw some extra carpeting down and call it a bed, but people spending $2000+ on a mattress are getting taken advantage of.

Exactly. Penguin is the guy you see driving through the neighborhood looking for mattresses others are throwing out because they still will sleep just fine.

Wife and I bought a new mattress this year, we spent 3K and worth every penny. I do not understand people that want to spent 400.00 for a mattress and worry about the cost? We spend on average 8 hours a day of our lives sleeping...... yet, much less time daily driving and spend a shit load of money on new cars? I think my money is well spent :0003
