    Hi, I'm looking at this ad, anybody knows what blue things we see under the mattresses ?

    ( Spare link, both links are in German, but the text doesn't tell about this. )

    P.S. - Not interested in the boat, just curious what the blue things under the mattresses are . . :)

    I think they are springs to soften the base of the bed.
    Exterior sprung instead of the normal interior sprung mattress.

    Thanks, that sounds very plausible, it could be a system consisting of separate elements that besides suspension also adds ventilation under the mattresses.
