I believe they use the same mattress in prisons, albeit a thicker and more comfortable version.<br /><br />The other was mother earth, complete with sticks, rocks and other things that always found a way to poke into your hip. I think we all gave the air mattress thing one go and gave up, never to carry it around again. <br /><br />I am getting old. I like my toes, hips and head to all be in the same plane when I sleep.bikeonaboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08853050971939035897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27584252.post-51235565000336932722009-07-13T15:44:07.642+10:002009-07-13T15:44:07.642+10:00"beds that offered less support"

And it came with its own supply of BIG Huntsman spiders.
