I think your best bet is ask an Ikea sales person. They can help you choose the right one for your weight / needs.

I'd like to eat the meatballs from Ikea but am not sure how many to get.

Is the only way to eat enough until I feel full?

James, I went to Ikea and bought a floor lamp. Yes, I know it sounds gay but I did.

Then I bought the meatballs and mashed potato and I think I got some kind of a cocktail - not sure.


But I was very happy. I'm going there again tomorrow just to **** around with the carpets and rugs and stuff.

i suppose there ARE other ways to try out the beds, but I am uncertain you wouldn't get arrested for it...

oh you definitely need to lay on the mattress for at least for 5 to 10 minutes to have a better feel of it. the kind of mattress you pick will also depend on whether you generally lie on your back or on your side - to give you the right support. Ikea has also got mattress pads/ptrotectors , their called <SULTAN> , which are great - really adds that extra layer of cushy comfiness....

^ Where do you get your condoms? Finland? Sultan is the name of Ikea's mattress series. Like WW said, they come in different firmness so you should choose the one for your sleeping style and personal preference.

Sweden and Finland noticeably absent. Maybe they weren't included in the poll.

I wonder if anyone has correlated these findings against prices and availability of prostitutes.

I wouldn't think its very valid, thailand is in the middle of the pack!
