There's actually a very simple reason for this phenomenon. A standard spring mattress essentially acts like a giant mirror, reflecting all sorts of radio waves, including your cellular signal. This can cause interference, leading to a dead zone in the near vicinity. The same effect was documented back in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

That’s the biggest thing I miss about Reddit. The random users we all knew that formed a collective meme.
