Oh man, my buddy Dave had almost the exact same thing happen a couple weeks ago. He kept getting bombarded with ads for one of those bed in a box places, like every other post on his feed was a mattress, and he doesn't even own a bed frame, the guy sleeps on a futon. His wife got so sick of it she started making up her own fake mattress slogans just to mess with him, stuff like "sleep on it, or don't, whatever." Then he mentioned it out loud one time while his phone was sitting on the couch, and boom, the ads switched to something else within like a day. So yeah, it's probably the algorithm tagging both of us, not some huge mattress takeover happening to everyone. The wild part is none of us ever searched for a mattress, we just talked about it near our phones. Makes you wonder how much they're actually listening.
