How about a talk on whether there is really any correlation between mattress quality and price. As far as I can tell the studies suggest that a certain level of firmness is slightly better for back pain but that tells us nothing about whether all the mattress claims are pure bullshit or not.

Like both the fact the same mattresses are sold for such different prices under different names and the trekie style jargon in ads is very sus.
