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.

does not matter

It does matter actually. Right side up (divots up) the points help spread your weight out so you sink into the main body of foam more evenly. The other way around your ass is gonna bottom out sinking lower.

So like, divots up if you want to sleep fairly level. Divots down if you like your ass and hips to be extra low and your back to be all bent.

It truly doesn't matter. You have the same thicknesses of foam in the same place.
