Here’s an interesting trivia. It’s totally not something that can influence your mattress buying or shopping in anyway. It’s just an amusing piece of information…

In Douglas Adam’s book, Life, the Universe and Everything, which is part of his famous Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy science fiction, one of the races includes what is called as Mattresses. Mattresses are described as:

“… large, friendly, pocket-sprung creatures which live quiet private lives in the marshes of Squornshellous Zeta. Many of them get caught, slaughtered, dried out, shipped out, and slept on. None of them seem to mind and all of them are called Zem.” They use occasional words from their own language, including the possibly melancholy dejection, “Voon.”
