🛏️ MATTRESS FACT MONDAY
Air mattresses are older than sliced bread. Seriously.
The Smithsonian has a trade catalog from 1896 advertising the “Perfection” Air Mattress—that’s 32 years before the first effective bread-slicing machine went into service. 🤯
And it gets better: a two-part version let each person inflate their own side to a different firmness.
Apparently couples were disagreeing about mattress comfort in the 1800s, too. 😂
Would you have trusted an air mattress in 1896—or are you still skeptical of the one in your closet? 👇
When you’re ready for something a little more substantial than air, shoot me a message. 😄
