    I mean, I fully agree with the sentiment, but if you think you won’t notice the difference between a $400 and $2000 bed, you just haven’t slept in one. I got almost 2 hours more sleep a night switching up to a $2000 (dumb) bed.

      My partner and I have a basic box spring and a Queen-sized free mattress (from a family member.)

      We put a 4” thicc memory foam topper on it and I can easily get 13 hours straight of sleep. It’s horrifying.

        Unless you’re still 2 years old and somehow got on here, 13 hours do you more damage than good. But I’m gonna throw a wild guess out there that you don’t have two kids and a mortgage.

          Hahaha nahhh I have a spouse I’ve been with forever and we’re never having kids, so we can sleep as much as we want to. I don’t get 13 hours EVERY day, but occasionally we get fucked up on various substances and need a long day of hibernation afterwards. Last night we got about four hours (special occasion party time!) so tonight we’ll probably get 10+ hours of sleep.

      As a regular traveler I have slept in a lot of beds. Maybe 300 (sic) in the last decade, of all quality levels. For me it makes all but no difference to how much sleep I get, the only thing that bothers me is when the springs are literally sticking out. So this is all completely anecdotal and I do respect your own anecdote. But I can’t help noticing that I see it repeated in lots of bed adverts.

        How old are you? Once you reach middle-age shit starts breaking, even if you’re fit which most of us aren’t. You’ll notice a good bed at forty much more than you will at twenty. By sixty you’ll be demanding one.
