    Bed stores are a problem. They sit there taking up space for what? To look pretty for people to try out different brands of bed because we like to not figure out a universal solution to the problem of making a comfortable healthy platform of material that we can lay upon for long term rest. On top of that, instead of supplying our nation with affordable housing and furniture, it is laughably ignored.

    All these empty locations for these corporations to advertise products and “experiences”

      We’ll do that as soon as we invent the universal spine.

          I think his point is that any universal bed will be comfortable for some people and uncomfortable for others because people are different.

            I said solution, not one bed to rule them all lol

            We need something that can scientifically determine a way to get people an affordable and comfortable bed that is not just go into a giant waste of space filled with random mattresses in hopes you find the right one and will likely just pick one that is “just good enough” after a minute or two from laying on it, When its use case is meant for laying on it for about 8 hours

      IKEA and Costco both sell relatively affordable bedding and furniture solutions.

      Also, there are some delivery only bed companies. Ie Purple Mattress.

      Some people insist on actually trying out the mattress first and spending $4,000+ on a bed.

        which one would you recommend? some kind of “culling games” or castration? Would you like to go first?
