Outta sight, outta mind.
Hmm, isn't scent one of those senses tied closely to memory and is permeable to a mattress?
Also, at OP, cleaning wouldn't be too difficult. Lift mattress, apply vacuum hose.
Many double mattresses are super unwieldy and heavy. You try to lift them, they just end up bending from one side, super annoying. your waist also does not thank you after this process.
not my mind, sure as hell not my wife's
more like this because my cat is too dumb to find the exit:
No absolutely not!
The little orange Zip is already dragging socks under the bed to fight. I would never be able to get them back
Orange cat behaviour
She is a whirl-wind of terror for sure.
Good luck if your cat shits under the bed
or has kittens.
or dies.
@everyone in this comment section: 
I was just wondering what kind of billionaire mansion people would have to live in to not use the space under their bed for storage
2am

Hairball puke pile under my bed.
I mean there's already one there, but i can at least get to it.
Maybe my cats are weird, but I've never really had the 2 am zoomie issue. One spends most of the night by my feet. I don't know what the other two usually do, but if I get up to use the bathroom, I'll often see them lounging in the hallway, like they're holding a meeting.
Is there a /c/zoomies yet? This would provide the community with content for years
More like: Cats at 3AM all over your face.
Yeah, that’s what you need to hear at 2 AM.
And neither of yous will be getting any sleep. 🙃
This'll be great for a rabbit
One of my dogs would love it too. She is a dachshund and loves hiding and burrowing.
Cats do that regardless or do you think they're stand still.
But how hard is it to clean the inevitable fur and hairball puke?
just keep a bunch of cardboard boxes from deliveries under the bed instead, then you can just throw them away when they get dirty
...or worse
After having pets for the last 30 years this was my first thought... oh great, another place for them to leave me "presents" (like poop, vomit, dead mice, etc)
Exactly this.
I had the bed in OPs meme and it was great at first! My cats loved it, they zoomed through day and night. Then one day I noticed only one of the cats would enter at a time and only while I wasn't looking. Eventually I found out one of our cats was holding politically extreme meetings under the bed which eventually resulted in an attempted coup d'etat.
Anyways, great bed. My cats run my house now and I get to sleep under the bed in a cool maze!
how did you come up with this on the spot? Psychedelics? (Serious question)
Some people just have silly minds. I tirelessly endeavor to be more like them.
I was pooping and I had a free minute to practice comedy!
I'm 90% sure this is how the SCP Foundation was founded
Seems like you'd just lift up the mattress like they did for this picture.
Lifting out a mattress to clean is a huge pain in the ass
Some beds have storage underneath. They have a lift mechanism that lifts the whole mattress. If you used one of those as a base, then cleaning gets a lot easier.
Traditional mattresses need to be rotated/flipped anyway. Also, it's a good idea to clean under the bed occasionally.
Wait why do they need to be rotated???
It helps them wear more evenly.

the cats are gonna take up the whole bed and then you'll be forced to sleep in the maze
Great place to store small dead animals
Try to give them medicine once and you'll be lifting the box spring and mattress off late at night! I guarantee it...

My dumbass cats would get lost down there and we'd have to let them out twice a night
Do you want a spider empire? Because this is how you get a spider empire.
Not if the cat overlords roam the labyrinth. If it moves its free game :)
