| 331227 | 2005-03-06 08:10:00 | Ad on TV (tusson or tuscon or something) says that it is: "The only mattress approved by N.A.S.A" What the hell are N.A.S.A doing approving mattresses? |

| 331228 | 2005-03-06 08:30:00 | Think it is more to do with the foam in the mattress. NASA developed a foam which has a "memory" to your shape. They needed this product so that the early astronauts didn't get squashed into a pancake under the extreme G-forces they would experience during landing/takeoff. Mattress manufacturers use this foam to add comfort to the mattress. Read more here (www.gadgetuniverse.com) |
