Today in Fake Studies: "Survey Says Sex Goes Better With Innersprings"

Posted by Emily Farris

That "story" published in "Furniture Times," talks of a survey conducted by a mattress company in hopes of selling mattresses before Valentine's Day.

The L&P officials are weighing in with some sexy supporting data, asserting that innersprings “have the goods to back up their studly status.” Leggett says that innersprings return 94% of the energy applied to them, which is 27% higher than foam mattresses and 6% higher than air mattresses. “Bounce per bounce,” L&P officials said, seriously, “the active support of innersprings adds the best boost of energy for boudoir fun.”

Still not convinced?

L&P is releasing the study now so that it will get coverage before Valentine’s Day, which is Feb. 14.

Maybe it's the fact that today is election day and we're feeling all inspired and idealistic, but companies running their own non-independent surveys and then publishing the results as a story (even if it is in "Furniture Times") really piss us off.

Yes, fake surveys blow, but they have a point.  Have you ever done it on memory foam?  It totally doesn't work.  The girl just doesn't bounce back up; she just gets embedded in the foam (if you're in missionary, that is).  You have to do it doggy-style.  Not that that's a bad thing, but it's nicer to have a choice.  Now, for me, a spring mattress is a must, with futons a distant second.
