Ever since you got that dog it hasn't been the same between us...............
Oh the curse of being so loveable. It's my cross to bear.
Hey, you're not exactly Dan.........a real lady's man.....(and staff member)
Getting a new mattress delivered today. The one we're replacing is too high for fitted sheets and so heavy it's a struggle for us to make. We had to search hard to find a regular size one. Why have mattresses grown in height and weight in recent years?
I loathe fitted sheets. You can't throw them on the floor without tipping yourself out of bed
Mattresses used to be sprung, maybe 9O% air and some coiled wire. Now they are about 10% air and layers and layers of different density foam.
My gutter stays the same for years...
It's called bad memory foam.......
Don't need no foam
Is that a bodacious remark......?
Guess
JustGeorge already has my mind in the gutter. Now you......

I used to be in the biz many years ago. Things may be different now. But it used to be that everything that made a mattress more comfortable and long lasting also made it heavier. Denser foam has more working molecules per cubic centimeter. It is also more expensive and because the work load is shared it tends to last longer. Heavier is better.
Frames were often made of wood. More wood, sturdier frame. And denser woods, such as hardwoods, also meant a heavier frame. So from two different areas, denser is heavier is better again.
When it comes to springs, more springs again means more springs doing the work. Less likely to bottom out and have other problems. More springs means more wire and once again, more weight. Heavier is better.
In the upholstery biz the gold standard used to be 1.8 pounds of foam per cubic foot. Don't ask me to convert that to metric. Some genius came up with the idea of blowing clay particles into the foam. All this did was to make it heavier. But they could advertise ridiculously dense foams. I think that was probably counterproductive. The best companies even bought into that, but they also have very good warranties on their foam. I have a feeling that the clay caused them to break down faster and ended up lowering the quality. It was a case of "let's make it feel heavier without adding quality". People may have been fooled for a short time, but it did not last in upholstery.
I have no idea what is being done in bedding today. I have a very good quality mattress from over 20 years ago and it is still going strong. No need to replace it. And it is rather heavy to say the least.
I'll make a note of that, mate.....you are absolutely no help at all..........
Glad to be of no help. Feel free to ask any time.
Likewise, I'm sure.......
The heavy thing we got last time has been no more (or less) comfortable than any other mattress, just a lot heavier. It's getting too much for us to make and when the wife is away I have to get my daughter to come and help me. Anyway it will be gone in a couple of hours.
