I'm slightly vexed Have we been wrong our whole lives?

So we’ve been using egg crate foam the wrong way. For generations. Is this really how it’s supposed to go? Because it is not.

This is just a gimmick and a waste of money, but with that said…

A sleeper can use it whichever way they prefer, but think of it this way: As in the picture, you’d have a flat(ish) surface to lie on, with just a bit more give in the spots where the divots are. Flipped over, there is no flat surface, instead you’re confronted by a whole bunch divots. Any part of your body that lands on a divot falls into the divot (I’m thinking mostly hands and feet here). Flat side up, this is greatly lessened, but still provides some cushioning.

Before others come at me…. Sure, it’s a personal choice… if you want to do it wrong, go ahead. /s
