Beds Are Overrated and a Scam 🤣🤣🤣
Summary
A straphanger who spent years sleeping on an extra large dog bed argues that beds are an overrated scam. His reasoning? The investment adds up fast. You need a bed frame, headboard, mattress, mattress cover, multiple sheets, and then there's the weekly washing. He paid just $70 for his dog bed and later upgraded to a hammock. But romance intervened. After multiple people refused to sleep with him on the dog bed, he finally caved to societal pressure and bought a real bed. Even then, he skipped sheets entirely, opting for towels instead. The mattress material is unlike any other, he insists. Why add extra fabric? Kareem counters that sheets feel nice on skin, but the former dog bed enthusiast has a solution: just spray disinfectant directly on the mattress.

So what's your take? Beds are overrated and they're an absolute scam. 100%? I disagree. Beds are not overrated. I love sleeping in a bed. You invest thousands of dollars into this thing, and then you need all the bells and whistles. You need a bed frame, you need a headboard, you need a mattress, you need a mattress cover, you need a sheet, you need another sheet. And then all the upkeep—you have to wash the bedding. Like, I just found out once a week, which is crazy. That's too much. I slept in a hammock for years. I slept on a dog bed for years.
A dog bed? I slept in an extra large dog bed for years.
Was the dog bed on a bed? No, it was on the floor.
Show me the dog. It actually looks quite nice. I don't know. It was—how much did that run you?
That was only $70. That's so nice.
It's still weird. You look like a freaking hamster. Thank you. I'm just saying, like, other species, they don't do all this work to go to sleep because they're other species. I'm just saying, like, there's nothing wrong with, like, sleeping on the floor.
Like, no, there is nothing wrong with sleeping on the floor. Where do you sleep right now? I was taught by society that I was never going to be able to have a lover if I didn't get a bed.
Your society's right. So I, after bringing people home and they—they—they told me they wouldn't do anything with me on the dog bed, I got a real bed. And they are good people. They are trying to help you. And then I just added the sheets. That's been a big thing.
You've been sleeping on it with no sheets? Yes, just towels. Just a mattress. The material of a mattress is unlike any other material in the world.
You crazy? Because it's like, why—why do I need all this extra material? Because it's comfy.
What is the purpose of sheets to you? They feel nice on my skin.
Well, then why don't they just make a mattress that has that feeling already? Because you have to wash it.
Why can't you just spray, like, disinfectant on it? That's what I do with a dog bed. How do you feel about couches?
I think couches are great.
