When it comes to mattresses, we’ve never had it so good.
The sheer choice available today eclipses anything we’ve had in the past. When you think about where our ancestors once kipped - the oldest known mattress, made from twigs, leaves and moss, was found in South Africa and dates back some 77,000 years - to the cloud-like squishy rectangles of memory foam supported by coiled springs and new age materials, it can make you marvel at the ingenuity of our species.
