Funny I was just looking at mattresses yesterday.

I might need to replace our mattress.

It is amazing how complicated it is to buy a new mattress.

You could buy a mattress without trying it out at the big box bulk warehouse or even a discount place. Most mattresses are hard to judge for their value, because it takes time to evaluate the comfort and durability.

You can depend on the salesman to explain the benefits of each mattress.

The quality you cannot see because it is sealed inside a package.

One can go as far a high end shop in Vancouver that sells mattresses good enough for a king or queen.

The prices can be over $15,000, last time I looked.

For the person with lots of money you can now add a cooling system that layers on top of your mattress and cools or heats you bed. It is also available through subscription too.

I wonder if we can get use to sleeping on the floor with a mattress like in Japan?

I personally think that Nate is right in this interview: that it's impossible to pick a mattress online without actually lying on it. You have to imagine that's why return rates are so high on these things. Now if only we could all afford $15,000 mattresses!
