Remember the story of the princess and the pea - that poppie who, despite a bajillion mattresses, still could feel the pea beneath her?
And what exactly is the moral of that fairytale even? Always get an orthopaedic mattress?
If you're in the market for beds, there are a lot to choose from.
You've got the 80s ultra-cool waterbeds - which are probably really bad for your back.
