A woman from Missouri, US was shopping for mattress when she reportedly ended up sleeping on a store's display mattress overnight. According to international media reports, the incident took place in St Louis Post-Dispatch store in Richmond Heights last week. The employee of the store arrived at work in the morning when he found the woman sleeping on a display mattress before the store even opened for customers. 

While speaking to an international media outlet, the employee said that he informed the police immediately. When the police arrived the woman told them that she was trying out a display mattress the evening before, however, she didn't realise how and when she fell asleep inside the store. The Richmond Heights Police Department further took to Facebook in which they called it the “best mattress endorsement” they've ever heard of. According to reports, the store did not charge the woman for trespassing and she was also escorted out of the store by the cops.
