Ramblings of my curious mind

Some two years ago, Magniflex, an Italian company, felt the world would be well served with a better mattress for the bed. The concept was valid, after all, we all spend an average of 7 hours sleeping. In an effort to bring out the best mattress possible, they developed the Gold Mattress. Just as the name implies, this mattress was made of 22 karat gold thread and carried a price tag of $24,000 for a queen size mattress and $30,000 for a king size mattress. At these prices, the mattress didn’t sell very well, in fact, in a two year period, less then 100 mattresses were sold.

At this point, it was time to either shelf the idea of the golden mattress or reinvent it into something that the market could afford. With the pet industry being a multi-billion dollar industry annually, they came out with another product.



This time, it was the golden mattress for pets. These new mattresses come in all shapes and sizes and range in price from $1000 to $3000. Still, these prices are fairly high, but certainly nowhere near the price tag of the original mattresses.

Now Fido can get an exceptional night of sleep on the golden mattress. There is also one additional benefit of these mattresses and that is that it doesn’t allow mites or parasites to thrive and hence not only will your pet get a good nights sleep, but it won’t be plagued by little critters biting them.
