Terry Prone: I'm declaring it right now, a woman invented the bed

While it is appropriate to note that German Heinrich Westphal is generally credited with nicking springs out of something else and applying them to a mattress, but women have a good track record of looking at a problem with their brains and bouncing potential solutions around

Betty Nesmith Graham's kind of problem-solving that eventually came up with Tipp-ex suggests it was a woman who invented the bed.

Not being sexist or anything, but who’s with me if I propose that it was a woman who invented the bed?

We don’t actually have a clue who invented it, but I put it to you that we owe them our health, happiness and much of our procreative practices. Nothing in our lives, other than perhaps underwear, embraces us for eight hours a day and sends us off improved.
