Yet another little corner of life where I'm left wondering out in the dark. Absolutely not denigrating anyone's preferences - it's just that I simply don't get it: Give me a slab of foam rubber - and maybe give me a new one after five or ten years - and I couldn't be happier. Fancy mattresses range - in my limited view - from quite on a level with foam down to way too squishy.
- xor1 9y agoWhere do I get a slab of foam rubber? I'm definitely not interested in spending money on a mattress, and I need to upgrade my size soon...
- interfixus 9y agoSome sort of furniture outlet. Even IKEA, I think. They still call them mattresses, only, they're 20 bucks, not hundreds of them. Mind you, you'll be in for some pretty seroius HN downvoting. Not the done thing :)
- xor1 9y agoAny chance you can link me to an example? are you talking about a topper? e.g. https://www.overstock.com/Bedding-Bath/Splendorest-3-inch-Slab-Memory-Foam-Topper/7338448/product.html https://www.overstock.com/Bedding-Bath/Splendorest-3-inch-Sl...
- interfixus 9y agoSorry, no, not really. My local list of retail outlets probably won't help you all that much, unless you happen to be stuck in my Danish vicinity :)
- JumpCrisscross 9y ago> I simply don't get it...give me a slab of foam rubber I drink my coffee black and my espresso unadorned. I'm not "wondering out in the dark" why some prefer a cappuccino or venti frappé whatever-the-crap. People have different preferences.
- interfixus 9y agoMay I recommend a little more wonder and a little less hostility?
- visakanv 9y agoWhere's the hostility?
