Trying very hard not to come to the conclusion that if you waste 2000 bucks on a connected bed, you have only yourself to blame.
Seriously. Unlike dumb TVs, dumb beds are not going away. Buy one for 400 bucks and donate the remainder of your bed-buying fortune. Your body won't notice and €1600 can do a lot of good.
I mean, I fully agree with the sentiment, but if you think you won’t notice the difference between a $400 and $2000 bed, you just haven’t slept in one. I got almost 2 hours more sleep a night switching up to a $2000 (dumb) bed.
My partner and I have a basic box spring and a Queen-sized free mattress (from a family member.)
We put a 4” thicc memory foam topper on it and I can easily get 13 hours straight of sleep. It’s horrifying.
Unless you’re still 2 years old and somehow got on here, 13 hours do you more damage than good. But I’m gonna throw a wild guess out there that you don’t have two kids and a mortgage.
Hahaha nahhh I have a spouse I’ve been with forever and we’re never having kids, so we can sleep as much as we want to. I don’t get 13 hours EVERY day, but occasionally we get fucked up on various substances and need a long day of hibernation afterwards. Last night we got about four hours (special occasion party time!) so tonight we’ll probably get 10+ hours of sleep.
Guess different life styles have different bed needs!
Oh 100%!
No shade on peeps who want families but that’s not for us. We gon’ hedonistically burn bright until we die. That’s our best life hahahaha
