Because America is soft

Maybe depends on what you are buying
You can buy hard (firm/extra firm) in the US also.

because they are made from Jute.

Same. Makes me want to change my mattress in US

😀

They are definitely not made the same way, much more cushion, and larger size here, also quieter springs, fluffier pillows, and softer sheets

The other way to see this is the mattresses here in US are generally soft. If you like the firmness of Indian mattresses, you’ll have to buy extra firm mattress here in US. I personally do not like the feeling of drowning in the soft mattresses in US.

@EY2- which mattress from Ikea did you buy ?

I have been overworked and overwhelmed at my current job for quite a while. This is my first position out of law school, small firm with large caseload, and in my second year of practice. I often think I should look for another opportunity elsewhere but I don't know that any other firms would give me the potential for growth and experience that I am getting here. What are other 2nd year associates doing at other firms? Trying to gauge if I really am getting more opportunities here
