It’s different here. The goal of this site is to give you a place to come for in-depth, honest, at times humorous, and most importantly unbiased information. We will review mattresses through case studies, stories, testing, and every other possible way you can think of. I will start it off with a story, of a mattress. And the smallest room I’ve lived in.
Long ago, in college, I was very poor. I was forced to live in a house with six other gentleman in our college town. To say this house was sub-standard was to imply their were any to begin with. To say we cared was moot- we were young, broke, and didn’t know any better.
Being the broke-est of them all led to me getting the smallest bedroom of them all. This wouldn’t have been such a big deal – I don’t need a TON of space and the price was right. Unfortunately, I’m 6’3″. And my room wasn’t. I literally couldn’t lay down. I was about 3″ short of being able to stretch out. And hand in hand with that problem was my mattress. It was too big. So being the industrious college kids that we were, we came up with a solution (genius in our eyes)- just cut the mattress down to size.
So there I was, A giant with little lodging, and a sawed off mattress. At first we laughed, then I realized I was living there. Suffice to say I didn’t impress too many chicks with my cut off mattress. Suffice to say I tolerated about two months of that situation. And then I realized life’s too short, and I’m too tall.
The moral of the story: Don’t shorten your mattress, widen your room.
