[Assam] Tempur Pedic versus Yours Trul's Wonderbed - 3Kg Steel+3Kg Bamboo=6Kg

Tue Oct 17 06:29:03 PDT 2006

There is a lot of fake-science in these 'scientific-sounding' analyses, mostly
made up by ad-agency copy-writers.

Many of these bed manufacturers place their 
mattresses on wood slats with a slight 
camber--something akin to bamboo slats, instead 
of the traditional 'box-springs'.
