1-800-Mattress

Not according to the jingle. Those folks forgot the last “s.” Really. They sing “one eight-hundred em ay tee tee arr-eee esssss” repeatedly.

You’d think a jingle writer would get it right. I mean, the company name is right in front of him isn’t it? On his desk, with the proposal and what the company wants.

“1-800-Mattress wants their phone number included three times, and the company name twice”, for example. But nope. He was clueless, and the end result is a commercial with the misspelled jingle and a note below the phone number.

“Drop the last S for savings.”

I can’t make this shit up.

I think you’ve really got it wrong.

The jingle is fine. The phone number is 1-800-MATTRES.

It is no fault of the jingle writer. That IS the actual phone number.

So yeh, to conclude, it’s confusing because the company name is 1-800-Mattress, but the phone number is 1-800-Mattres. The jingle writer is not to blame.
