People buy a mattress the way they buy a sofa. They sit on it in the shop for a minute or two and decide. But a sofa is used for an hour at a time and a mattress for eight, and nothing that can be learned in a minute tells you what the eighth hour will feel like. The shop test is not a poor test of a mattress. It is not a test of a mattress at all.

Which one of the following most accurately expresses the main point of the passage?

AA mattress is used for eight hours at a stretch, whereas a sofa is used for only an hour at a time.

BSitting on a mattress for a minute or two in a shop is a poor way of testing how it will feel to sleep on for eight hours.

CTrying a mattress briefly in a shop yields no information at all about how it will perform over the eight hours it is actually used.

DShops should let customers take a mattress home and sleep on it for several nights, since a decision reached in a minute cannot be an informed one.

EPeople should spend considerably longer choosing a mattress than they spend choosing a sofa, given that they will lie on it for eight hours at a time rather than one.
