4. People Don't Buy Mattress Pads Due To Their Appearance.
They buy them for their comfort. I think this ad as portrayed is pretty good marketing in portraying to the potential buyer the relaxing qualities of the product.

More I look at the picture, the more it makes me want to relax on a comfortable mattress. I say kudos to Serta! :)

5. She's content because . . .
. . . she knows she can just lay there and pee without staining the mattress, since the cover is on.
