FUN fact! Did you know that the average new mattress weighs about 90 pounds while the average used mattress weighs about 110 pounds? Isn't that fun?!

That’s a lot of bodily fluids built up over the years… 🫥

that-- dosn't sound true. while I wouldn't doubt that there's some amount of weight accumulated over time, a 22% gain in mass from the sweat and stuff that makes it through the sheets between the sleeper(s) and mattress sounds quite high.
I'm not finding any actual studies about this anywhere online, just claims in this vein which were even more ridiculous getting debunked (a double in weight over the course of a decade is so obviously absurd).
I found a random chiropractor saying that it is estimated that mattresses gain 10-20% in weight over 10 years of use, but-- estimated by who, Larry? who estimated this? where's your data?
