No problems with the extra-curricular use of the foam mattress. The in-store test went acceptably well all three times, quite a bit of applause and an appreciative audience helped, and frequent and varied uses have not run into any real problems. On occasion the trapeze settles unevenly and I get concerned about the rope eroding the foam, as well as staining should the chocolate or peaches get loose and begin to soak, but so far no problems in the 1256 test cases.

I still don't like them for the reasons mentioned earlier, and in regard to this particular portion of the thread, if one is not careful, a "spoon" turns into a misshapen "ladle" if one does not arise and deal with developing conditions faster than the female gender would prefer...
