"During use"...

[Vendome]

Just here for the jokes...

[dfwgator]

Five little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said
“Hello, no more monkeys jumping on the bed!”

[KittyKares]

I was thinking of other uses that might have caused the beds to break.

Lucid brand made in China of course.

[VanShuyten]

“...beds were imported from Malaysia...”

Malays didn’t know Americans weigh 2x+ than they do?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Lucid beds broke so they switched to making EVs.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Oh Lucid, I’m home!

[Songcraft]

Intensely passionate amorous maneuvers, right?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

And where were the beds made?

[lee martell]

“Ma’am, in this showroom, we sell Bed-beds, the kind you use for resting and sleeping.... while in THIS showroom, we sell
the other kind, beds made for ‘Activites and Exploration’.
Those are the ones now equipped with shock absorbers.
So, which kind of bed are you shopping for today?”

[dfwgator]

I like Chinese
I like Chinese
There’s 900 million of them in the world today
You’d better learn to like them, that’s what I say

Jokes aside, when you pair a couple of obese Americans on a queen/king bed, the frame must support anywhere from 500-700lbs on average. Shifting, getting in/out of bed, ‘other activities’ all increase the forces on the frame to the breaking point.

Obesity combined with modern manufacturing of consumer wood products...

Headline: Color me shocked. /s

Even Ayn Rand didn’t predict that we’d devolve to the point of forgetting how to make functioning beds.

[rexthecat]

Too many fat people.

That’s hilarious!

[Thank You Rush]

I can’t be the only one here who remembers as a kid that our mattresses were laid on springs and the slats holding those sometimes would break and we’d fall to the floor...if nothing else, we got laughs out of it. That was before someone came up with the idea of innerspring mattresses.
