Cuddle Mattress

Thought I seen that somewhere.. Googling it [1] shows results as far back as 2008. So unless he is the inventor himself, he is just blatantly lying when he states "... the solution I came up with is the Cuddle Mattress."

While this is a really cute idea, beds are not something to joke about, and I'd really like to see some good evidence that long-term sleeping on this bed doesn't do any damage.

I usually dislike people how just insult other people's ideas, but in this case there is a genuine chance of people causing themselves serious damage. Does anyone know of any evidence of this actually helping people sleep better?

If a few years down the line this has revolutionised people's sleeping, I'll be all for one. If instead people have trapped nerves by sinking slightly into gaps, then I'll be glad I let someone else test it first!

I've seen this idea before, and it does look like it would solve the problem nicely. Hard to lug around a mattress when you're moving house (if you're renting), though.

I bet this one is easier than others, since it looks like most of it breaks apart into slices.

If you watch the video, he explains he had the original idea for some design contest which he won in 2007 [0] and then received so many emails and requests that he eventually decided to do it.

This is of course wild speculation, but with the materials this is made of, I'm guessing it's a lot safer than the crappy, cheap mattresses many people sleep on. I've woken on my arm many times to no ill effects, and I can't possibly see this putting more pressure on a nerve than my own body weight (never mind someone else's).
