spavanje said:Look, you can get way more bang for your buck than just a mattress for $2,000. But that’s not even the point—the real issue is how little we actually grasp how vital sleep is. You can read all about the fallout on these forums. It’s honestly tragic that in the European Union, over 32% of kids suffer from things like rheumatism, various allergies, or early-onset spinal issues, and it’s largely because of crappy beds and sleeping setups. (That's according to an official WHO report regarding Health Day). And if money is the concern, maybe we should look at how much we fail to invest in our own health; fixing the damage later is always going to be way more expensive than just practicing prevention. Besides, buying a good bed is an investment in something we use every single day for 6 to 8 hours—that's over 25 years of your life. Plus, it’s been proven for ages that your whole life changes once you start sleeping in a spot that doesn't stress out your body.
Yeah, I mean, I agree that life changes when you go from being an Insomnia sufferer back to a functioning human being... but...
Do you have like, a URL for those official stats?
I've sat through enough presentations to know that people throw around statistical data that has absolutely zero connection to reality.
That claim that 32% of kids have rheumatism, spine issues, and allergies could technically be true if you lump allergies and spinal problems together, but then you don't actually know if it's 1% of people with spine issues and 31% with allergies, or vice versa.
Those are completely different things.
And everyone knows allergies aren't caused by dust mites, they come from living in these overly sterile environments (but that's totally off-topic).
What I really want to know is what kind of product this actually is, how it works, and why on earth it costs $2,000?
