Just like the skeletons that we have in our closets, everyone is addicted to something.
But who would assume that the ‘something’ in one woman’s case was eating mattresses.
Yes, you heard it right, a large, usually rectangular pad designed to be used as a bed, or on a bed frame as part of a bed.
Jennifer who was featured on a television show which features several strange addictions recanted how she got through about a square foot worth of mattresses a day, and moved onto eating her mother’s mattress after polishing off all of her own.
She added saying, “I like my mattress plain and straight up, no mayonnaise, butter, none of that.
“The side effects of eating mattresses, gas is really the only one you’d have. It enters my body and leaves my body, it enters my system and goes out.”
Jennifer explained that she first got into eating mattresses when she was just five years old and started eating the sponge from her seat in the family car.
It just went from there, and while she hadn’t suffered health problems from it her addiction carried the risk of liver damage or intestinal blockage which could lead to death.
However, Jennifer was warned about the potentially lethal risk of her habit.
She promised to change her ways and hopes that she can overcome this addiction.
How about you, what’s your strangest addiction?
