“It has to be durable. Not too soft, not too hard; not too expensive, but not cheap, environmentally friendly,” TNT intones re: her mattress requirements, on what might be the first subway ride of her life.
She tests out a $100,000 bed, asks “What is Sleepy’s?” and then jumps on all of the mattresses in Sleepy’s, asks several MTA plebeians what they look for in a mattress, asks a carriage horse what he looks for in a mattress, climbs onto a child-sized bed in Ikea, jumps up and down in a room full of inflatable breasts, and then comes to this final, world-rocking conclusion:
I wonder if the perfect mattress is actually an illusion! Maybe there isn’t such a thing as a perfect, perfect bed.
Then she finds a pea.
Can someone explain?
