WTF?! (Strange But True Facts)

A ten-year-old mattress weighs double what it did when it was new due to debris that it absorbs over time. That debris includes dust mites (their droppings and decaying bodies), mold, millions of dead skin cells, dandruff, animal and human hair, secretions, excretions, lint, pollen, dust, soil, sand, and a lot of perspiration, which the average person loses at a rate of a quart a day. Good night!

That’s nonsense.

Any moisture would have to collect and remain unvaporized in order to weigh anything. Dead skin weighs next to nothing (slap your mattress in a sunbeam—most of that dust is your dead skin and if it were to weigh anything significant, it wouldn’t be labeled as dust).

Beds would be breaking and overweight mattress discussion would be a common things. But it’s not, because this isn’t a fact.
