    I occasionally catch these ads on TV and they really bug me because I think they're completely ignoring what we all want to know about them.

    So the ads say stuff like "I can get out of bed to make pee pee without waking Earl!", or they'll show some slut jumping up and down on one end of the bed while there's a glass of wine on the other end of the board. The idea being, LOOK AT HOW STABLE THE MATTRESS IS!

    60 seconds, hundreds of words, several quasi-compelling images...

    ...and no one mentions sex. SEX SEX SEX. That's what *I* want to know about! And everyone is pretty much just like me so the rest of you want to know it too.

    Why don't they ever show these old couples saying stuff like, "The Kama Sutra really comes to life thanks to the adjustable Posturepedic mattress! You wouldn't believe the positions Doris and I can get into now"...? Or a Sleep Number commercial where the husband describes how much easier it is "to go to town on Jenny thanks to the Sleep Number bed! She's a '55', or a '30' when we're going at it doggie style and she's face down."

    Clearly, these ad agencies are NOT doing their job properly. JACKASSES.

    That's it, I'm off to write a letter to Sealy.

    I dunno, but I do know the WORST beds for sex are waterbeds. When I owned one 20 years ago it was great for sleeping in, but horrible for anything else. I was under the impression that it would be the exact opposite.

    In my line of work we occasionally have to go out to people's ****ty houses and measure the depressions in their Sealy Posturpedics to make sure they haven't sank too far down. ****ing fatasses. And the middle part of the bed is still firmly in place like it's never been touched so you know this people haven't had sex since Carter was president.

    Note to douchebags: King Size Pillow top fortitudes are a b**** to load into trucks, do your delivery men a favor and get a Queen.

    My wife bought one last year. I thought it was a colossal waste of money.

    But I now sleep through the night. Damned thing works :). She's a smart woman. No idea why she married me.

    Righttttttttttt........I'll be sure and remember that next time I'm shopping for a mattress. I can see me now: "Honey....why don't we share a twin? A king is much too troublesome for the delivery guys."



    Actually, it will probably be more like: "Ok delivery guys....I want the lamps, the rug, and the dryer downstairs, but I want the sleeper sofa, the king size bedroom set, the china cabinet, and the clothes washer on the third floor.

    Damn right about waterbeds being the worst for sex, at least those unstable ones, can't get a rhythm going or anything. The stable versions are a little better but are crap for sleeping on in my opinion. Why did they quit selling waterbeds, I haven't seen any for sell in a long time?

    Moe, so NOW I know who to blame when those celebate assholes call me complaining that their bed has body impressions but the guy who comes out and measures them did not think so. But ofcourse, you did not tell them then, did you? You told them a report would be filed so that they would later call me when they were REALLY pissed off.

    BTW, just be thankful the king size has TWO small box springs ;)

    That's what I hear from everyone I know who has bought one.

    Finger's is blowing them out right now....$1,000 for a Queen size including bedframe. From what I've seen, that's a pretty good price, plus they are still doing their no interest for one year...free money.
