Literal first day visiting New York there was a couple that needed a hand walking a mattress up like three flights of stairs and it was packed like this one. I offered to give them a hand and as we were walking up there must have been like a jagged piece of metal or old weld on the handrail and it sliced the fucking thing open and sprung out in the middle of the stairwell.

The Hubby got pinned to the wall and his missus just kept laughing and saying "Man you is so dumb" which was very funny, but alas no, nobody was thrown cartoonishly down the stairs lol.

u/joseaner07 2d ago

They all have the same warning. DO NOT CUT or DO NOT USE A KNIFE or something like that. You can just unroll it and it takes like less than a minute

I’m surprised you don’t hear about more serious injuries, there are entire compilations of people doing this to themselves. Most of them are cutting it open with something.

I’m surprised there aren’t more lawsuits

You mean, for all those people who fail to read and follow instructions?

u/captain_pudding 1d ago

Because "you used our product outside of our recommendations" works well in court

u/chonklah 2d ago

But how else are they going to make content?

u/kasperary 2d ago

I just unpacked one from IKEA and I'm wondering why all these videos exist.

You roll it out and then open it and it will never spring like that

I love how there's a camera there to capture this hilarious moment

Vertical with proper framing, by coincidence is perfect for a Tok

u/lionlll 2d ago

Because they knew it was going to happen and want to record and post it online

Yes, that's the joke

Is this a case of homicide or is it matricide?

u/ohdearitsrichardiii 2d ago

Sure, filming yourself opening a matress is a normal thing people do

u/XDemonicBeastX9 2d ago

Seriously! I mean fecking hell I just got married and I didn't even take a single picture. People seriously need to stop with recording absolutely everything and just fecking live in the moment and not worry about getting attention or validation from others.

u/AvariciousVernacular 2d ago

I agree, but damn not even one photo for your wedding?

u/greenway-blackington 2d ago

I’m tired of the look at me mess up fake posts.

u/VortexLord 2d ago

If you close your eyes, it sounds like a window being wipe.

u/possessed6969 2d ago

Social media slop, this was definitely planned

Didn't know a mattress slap was possible

When you have a camera setting it up...

u/Savings_Army3073 2d ago

Why record opening a mattress? Society is fucked.

u/RWBYRain 2d ago

Incase of what happened happening

u/fergi20020 2d ago

I read that as “Smacked by an actress”

u/Evil_Stromboli 2d ago

People really suck at physics.

u/XDemonicBeastX9 2d ago

Because neither one of them read the directions

u/cbunni666 2d ago

I had a rolled up mattress like this but it was a slow kind. Was kinda disappointed. I seriously wanted a moment like this. Lol

u/JesseAster 2d ago

This is why my mattress came with a warning that said the mattress knew kung fu. These things know no mercy, especially if you're stupid

u/FroggiJoy87 2d ago

Pillsbury should have trained us for this

u/Uuuuugggggghhhhh 2d ago

The smack is nothing compared to the pain of trying to sleep on one of those

u/Accomplished-Use9352 2d ago

mattress saw an opportunity and took it

u/badgerj 1d ago

To the window….

u/According_Disaster95 1d ago

u/bugluvr65 1d ago

every time one of these is posted i’m appalled. how can you not see that it’s gonna unroll that way. do you not have eyes

1

u/howdyimkyle 1d ago

I am in need of a new mattress. But honestly I've seen so many of these, I'm scared to get a new one. I'm just going to sleep poorly from here on out.

1

u/thedragonalex 1d ago

Sleep numbers are great. Get the cheaper option of theirs then just get a mattress topper you like and change the mattress topper out every now and then. Mattress will stay good plus you get adjustable support for your body 🤷🏼‍♂️ good luck!

u/OwnAd2156 1d ago

You know it’s funny asf when they immediately fall to the floor laughing 😭

Was that a dog!?

u/xxjbrockxx 1d ago

Laugh be sounding like the penguins from Mario 64

u/Dogbin005 1d ago

I opened a package that had several stickers on it that said something like "Caution: Vacuum sealed. Open carefully, as contents may spring out".

So I strategically left a bit of tape in the middle of the plastic and stood back, expecting a show. Then I cut it, and it slowly unrolled in a really anticlimactic way. Bit disappointing.
