When did Memorial Day become Mattress Day?

We thought Memorial Day was for honoring the fallen, but it sometimes feels like it’s really all about sales on mattresses.

We’ve got nothing against mattress retailers, but come on.

Nothing says "let's honor the men & women who died while serving the United States Armed Forces" like a Memorial Day–weekend mattress sale.

Memorial Day isnt about mattress, car, furniture sales etc its about remembering men, women who fought and continue to fight for USA freedom
