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.

So there was no reality until measurement
technology arrived? <snicker> Fools!

How do you know that eggs existed before chickens came on the scene?

The floor,once you get used to it , is great for your back......and sleeping with your best animal friend allows you to steal smooches...

Riding in that car with all those amazing critters would be a memory not soon forgotten....

Fossil record.
It's a reality thing.

True in my case.......there were already eggs in my parent's house that predated me.......

So once they "measured" (explored) the fossil record, it was real.

Before measurement, it didn't exist, eh.
So fossil excavators effectively created the
fossil record. Tis a strange way to see things.
So much simpler to recognize it had been
there ever since the critters were fossilized.

The quantum world is most strange.

They performed a matching game in which two players leverage quantum effects to win every time—which they can’t if measurements merely reveal reality as it already exists.

Our larger reality is statistically very different
from quantum mechanics. The probability of
our realm behaving that way is vanishingly small.

The garage I go to hires both statistical and quantum mechanics on average at a very small scale without discrimination.

 

[Dan From Smithville]

That is pretty much true of eating in general, but I do appreciate truth in advertising.

The odds you are correct are vanishingly small given recent developments Quantum Entanglement Has Now Been Directly Observed at a Larger Macroscopic Scale

Your link doesn't support the claim that
reality only exists when measured.

Science only can confirm anything with some form of measurement.....All life forms accept existence by simply living .IMO

That's okay, we Americans practice tokenism..............you are our aussie token...............for now, at least.
