It's been a lovely time on this website.

I want to learn which is the good mattress. As it turns out there is no good mattress, only bad ones and worse ones
yeah mattress is one of those things that should just be a basic piece of furniture but people shop for them with the intent of their mattress being a therapeutic device intended to cure them of problems caused by things the customer is doing or not doing during their waking life. so people get mad when the mattress does not cure them. which makes sense but i dont think thats the mattress's problem; they just need to, like, have better posture or have a big of exercise or maybe stop eating right before they sleep. there ARE good mattresses but you gotta meet a mattress halfway if you want the mattress to do any good and a lot of folks just wont do that
ok so thing is most of them somehow fail at being furniture or cover your room in fiberglass including the ones by the big brands
i'll be honest i didnt know that fiberglass is a thing they even put in mattresses
it's the fireproofing sheath that surrounds most memory foam ones. mine disintegrated and went everywhere and i had to vacuum the entire room multiple times and keep hepa filters running
i've read accounts of people putting them in the dryer, turning their whole apartment into a superfund site over the course of a few minutes
my current mattress cost me $40 used, covered my room in fiberglass, and the memory foam has degraded enough that i had to flip it over and have been sleeping on the polyurethane underlayer. it's a worse mattress
my couch is a rare drop. $125 and it's green corduroy and wood and is literally the most comfortable couch i've ever sat on. once-in-a-lifetime type of couch. the sort you can't just go out and buy at will, it has to be bestowed upon you by the universe. my mattress is the opposite of this
My mattress is a punishment for something I did and I haven't figured out what yet
Well since god sits outside of time and views all events simultaneously there's always the possibility that it's a punishment for something you haven't done yet. I'm sure you'll know once you do it
Oh hey that happened to me too but I didn’t realize it for years so my lungs are probably in great shape
I recon you just go into a mattress store, and lay down on a bunch of them, and then buy the second-cheapest acceptable mattress.
apparently this results in the mattress falling apart and spewing fiberglass everywhere
I remember my mattress search a couple of years ago led me to that subreddit. My old mattress was a torn-up twin mattress I had since middle school (no, I did not notice any back pain despite it being completely flat as a pancake for two decades). I was upgrading to my current queen-size bed and wanted something affordable, so I looked up all the cheap $100-$300 mattresses on Amazon and read reviews on them.
Almost all of them had either fiberglass issues (get a small tear and it goes everywhere) or fall apart within two or three years. This subreddit did help a little with my search. Settled on a Serta queen medium firm mattress at $500 that my family helped me pay. Nice mattress, too.
There must be a better way. Like a hammock or springy fabric under tension. Designated sleeping trampoline
Is this why waterbeds were invented
