MATTRESS OF SOLITUDE


One of the greatest production designs I've seen on television was on a Season 3 episode of 'KEY & PEELE' with "THE MATTRESS OF SOLITUDE". As I was watching the skit, I kept giving mad props to whoever designed the amazing Superman Bed.

While searching for the clip to post, I discovered that it was designed by Production Designer GARY KORDAN and built by the KEY & PEELE ART DEPARTMENT. Well done!! In fact, I now want a Mattress of Solitude!

Sadly, here is the only clip I could find online... its one of the worst hand-recorded things I've ever seen (almost deserving a post itself), but if you can look past the poor quality and heavy mouth breathing, you'll find a funny skit with an amazingly designed and executed Superman bed!



And here is a sketch of the Mattress of Solitude, by Gary Kordan:

The "Mattress of Solitude" from Key & Peele is hilarious! It's incredible how something as simple as a mattress can become such an iconic part of a show. It made me think about the importance of having the right kind of mattress. While I love the creativity behind the Superman bed, I've been considering upgrading my mattress to a king size. The extra space would make a massive difference in my comfort at night. Plus, I love the idea of having more room to relax. A king size mattress is the upgrade I need! Thanks for bringing up this funny moment, and I'll be looking for more unique bed designs!
