As I sit here waiting for my new mattress to be delivered, I thought I'd check out the
Wikipedia article on mattresses. Really, I should have checked this *before* buying a mattress, but heck, I think I made a good choice anyway. I guess I'll find out after I sleep on it tonight.
The wikipedia article recommends spending about 10 minutes on the mattress in the store before committing to it; I've seen other articles recommend an hour. I just can't imagine spending more than a minute or two on a mattress in the store, though. Anything more would just seem creepy.
