Mattress
A mattress is a manufactured product or improvised arrangement to sleep or lie on, consisting of resilient materials and sometimes covered with an outer fabric or ticking. It may consist of a quilted or similarly fastened case, usually of heavy cloth, that contains hair, straw, cotton, foam rubber, or a framework of metal springs. In parts of the Western world a mattress typically belongs to a bed set and is placed upon a foundation.

Famous quotes containing the word mattress:
“Bless all useful objects,
the spoons made of bone,
the mattress I cook my dreams upon,
the typewriter that is my church
with an altar of keys always waiting.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Well, you look so pretty in it
Honey, can I jump on it sometime?
Yes, I just wanna see
If it’s really that expensive kind
You know it balances on your head
Just like a mattress balances
On a bottle of wine
Your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat.”
—Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
