Most plush mattresses have a solid inner core of coils. Plush and pillow top spring mattresses are similar; both typically have structural firmness and stability. They also have a soft outer fabric surface intended to make sleep more comfortable.
By this time, the sometimes complicated array of knots and styles of neckwear gave way to the neckties and bow ties, the latter a much smaller, more convenient version of the cravat.

I've seen American fashion through many tie trends. The knit tie (think Steve Guttenberg, preppies), The striped power tie (Trump, Gecko), the novelty tie (Patch Adams, the cast of Full House, your dentist), the thin tie (Reservoir Dogs), and, lately, the bow tie (Wes Anderson, Decemberists concert). Through it all, I have chosen none.
