An Open Letter to Ikea

Dear Ikea,

How dare you call your "Sultan Fageras" a mattress! By calling it a mattress you're completely misleading your customers into thinking that it's going to be a soft, comfortable thing to sleep on.  Unless "Sultan Fageras" means "extremely rigid and uncomfortable piece of foam" in Sweedish there's nothing in the name that even suggests the amount of discomfort that someone who purchases the "mattress" is in for.  One of my favorite things about decent mattresses is that when you plop onto them at the end of the day, there's a soft little bounce that welcomes you.  Plopping onto the "Sultan Fageras" is like falling onto a slab of concrete.  There's no bounce.  You don't even sink into the foam in the slightest.  I'm probably covered with bruises from my first few attempts at casually plopping onto the bed.  Thankfully I've learned from my mistakes and now I gingerly approach the bed, climbing into it with painstaking care.  Ikea, if you read this I would really appreciate it if you could replace my "Sultan Fageras" with a bed that's not akin to a torture device, or at the very least you could put a disclaimer on the product to inform potential customers of the risk that they're taking by buying the "Sultan Fageras". 

Dissatisfiedly (I know that's not a word.) yours,
Dyan
