A recent survey shows Americans have preference for which side of the bed they sleep on. In fact, the majority want to get up on the right side of the bed.
Literally.
The study, conducted by online mattress company Saatva, found that men were more likely than women to care about which side they slept on, and women were more likely to care about which direction they were facing in bed, according to an article about the poll in The Daily Mail.
