What sort of mattress do you sleep on?

I bought a memory foam mattress a couple of years ago and it's now developed Alzheimers. It simply can't remember what shape to spring back to whatsoever.

This is not a rare occurrence either … one of my girlfriend's pillows has it and a friend in Wales has just had his pillows put to sleep due to similar dementia problems (the pillows, not him).

I was planning on booking a one way ticket for my mattress to Dignitas in Switzerland, but then realised I could stand to make a pretty penny by recycling it into car washing sponges and flogging 'em on ebay … I should be able to get around five hundred out of it at a rough guess.

'End of days' for me now, only fourteen posts left 'til retirement so I'm choosing carefully what and where to post.

Just wondering how many car washing sponges I'd have to buy to make a mattress. Could be cheapest way of doing it! Happy retirement.

Ooooh no. The sponges may be inexpensive, but you'd spend a mint on the glue!
