Very annoyed. I had this exact idea about 18 months ago, but didn't do anything with it. Just goes to show that success is really about hard work and commitment rather than just a great idea. Kudos to you. I hope it changes the world.
Great idea. Some thoughts: - like xkcd suggests, the only really important slit is for the arms. - couldn't this be simulated by taking a regular mattress and simply cutting a slit in the right place? - has anyone tried doing that?
One of those all-foam mattresses might work, though. Not sure.
I'm mostly curious regarding how you put sheets on this bed and still use it for its intended purpose.
There are a lot of potential pitfalls with this, the first one I can think of being having sex. I wouldn't want to have slits in the mattress that my arms or legs could get caught in when having sex.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Agreed. From experience (broken leg), any compression on your body including limbs leads to a shitty night's sleep so I don't think I'd want to wedge bits of my body in gaps then lie on them. My other half would also hate this. The best night's sleep we've both found is on a bed which is pretty much like a piece of concrete with a sheet on it :)
The best night's sleep we've both found is a bed each in different rooms.
I like how there's a new Kickstarter ripoff explicitly for projects that have no prototype and whose "founders" have no industry experience. Makes it easier to get in the right mindset for maximum enjoyment before clicking. Their price comparison chart also seems extremely misleading: I have a natural latex mattress and it was not $4000. It was $700.
...NOT!
