Paula Deen Getting Her Own Line Of Serta Mattresses

Published on: March 12, 2010 – 10:20 am by Jillian Madison Comment

Why do I feel like I’m constantly writing about something else Paula Deen is putting her name on? Oh, wait. BECAUSE I AM. So glad we cleared that up.

Though this sounds like a headline at The Onion, sadly, it’s true: Serta will soon be rolling out a line of (sigh) PAULA DEEN MATTRESSES. Because if chefs know one thing, it’s how to get a recuperative sleep (???).

Roll the gag-worthy Paula Deen quote about the new partnership!

“You can definitely tell that these mattresses have been inspired by my life in the South and my home in Savannah, Ga.,” said Deen. “The collection is all about feeling good, comfortable and getting a good night’s sleep in one’s home. And just like my food, I send you comfort and love from my home to yours.”

That’s a lovely, carefully crafted quote and all, but I just have one question: how the hell can a mattress be inspired by the south? Is it filled with Mardi Gras beads? Is it peach-scented? Does the mattress take 7.4 seconds to say the word “OOOOOIIILLLLL”?

The line, which will cost between $799 and $1,499 for queen size, will be revealed this weekend at a furniture convention in Orlando. You hear that, Mickey Mouse? Run for your fucking life.

And hide your butter.

    What. The. Fuck.

    Scratch one company off the list the next time I’m in the mattress market. Serta, you’re run by retards.

    A mattress endorsed by the estate of Terry Schiavo would make more fucking sense.

    Wow…. Previously I had thought these “Paula Dean non-chef-related products” were a sign of the apocalypse…

    After this one, I’m starting to think the apocalypse might actually be the only thing to save us from the Dean empire – I just hope it comes before we’re all driving Ford Taurus Paula Dean Editions, getting Paula Dean shakes at McDonalds, and breathing in Paula Dean Brand Organic Oxygen.

    I hope it has a wipe-clean cover. That butter can get messy.

  9. March 12th, 2010

    I think Pauler’s marketing people should unveil a Paul Deen Edition crapper. It will have an extra wide bowl for her extra wide mudflaps with grab-handles on the sides for really grunting and pushing out some of that slop you made of hers last night.

    |
    byrdie replied on: March 12th, 2010 at 11:25 am

    Of course, there should also be a porta-model for those times you’re in your driveway, y’all, and just can’t make it indoors…and to round out the experience, grab a copy of her sons newest mag to use a toilet paper.

    |
    La Coquette replied on: March 12th, 2010 at 12:40 pm

    They’ll be so much butter in the slop you won’t need to push or hold onto anything. You’ll have Pauler Deen Natural Sliders to plop out.

    Momatad replied on: March 15th, 2010 at 9:08 am

    ’straining and grunting’…….with all that butter, I really don’t think so…more like leaving a greasy streak on the way to the bathroom.

    March 12th, 2010

    As a Southerner, this is an insult. But then again, Pauler and her entire family are an insult to the rest of us Southerners. We all don’t talk like her, cook like her, brag like her, and sign our lives away for the almight $$ like her. I sure won’t buy anything w/ Paula’s name on it.
    Yep Byrdie, the pine box collection isn’t far behind.

  11. March 12th, 2010

    was just on Serta website, couldn’t find news of this exciting announcement in mattress-land. however Pauler is joining none other than the Grand Master of Bad Hair himself Donald Trump in having a personalized line of mattresses.

    Bad Hair, Bad Food and matresses…….huh???????? wrong, just so wrong.

    Ferd Berfle replied on: March 12th, 2010 at 12:32 pm

    That’s insane. It’s one thing for a chef to endorse food-related products or a sports figure to endorse athletic equipment, but what the heck is the relation between Deen or Trump and a freakin mattress? We ALL sleep; it’s not a special skill.

    Paula – Seriously. This is getting ridiculous. It’s reached the level of the absurd, all the products you are whoring.

    And nice attempt there, to tie in mattresses with food in your quote. (Not.)

    I wonder if one of the selling points will be how well the springs of the mattresses hold up after months of vigorous, behemoth sex between Paula and The Captain.

    So, in whatever repeat episode just aired on FN, Paula said she received one of those clip on hair pieces in the plain, and then exclaimed she was wearing a “dead squirrel” on the back of her head. Ohhh, Paula.

    Diane replied on: March 12th, 2010 at 8:19 pm

    Bet she skinned it and fried it up in some ooooiiiiillll and butter and then clipped that critter right to her big ol’ head!!

  18. Di
    March 12th, 2010

    Paula’s personal mattress must be a festering toxic mess, to be sure. Do you think they even bother to get up when they have to pee, or whatever?

    Maybe she should develop her own line of southern-fried Depends.

    All I can think of after this is the Kathy Griffin show that visited her and they NEVER pick up the dog turds thru out the house….and the critters sleep with them as well….eeeeeewwwwwwwww. AND for the comment about the lard, as having grown up in the south, and seeing pigs bred, they do slap lard under the tail of the female to ‘encourage’ the male to mount her….sorta makes you go ‘hmmmmmmmm’ now doesn’t it?

    Oh. My. Stars!! Mattresses?!?! Enough with Pauler and her money-grubbing, hillbilly family. She’s already the queen of Walmart with crappy cookware, kitchenware (including baking sheets with Silpat-wannabe silicone pads), books, and baked goods, including her rip-off Gooey Butter Cake (her “signature dessert”). Just the thought of her and Captain Crunch rolling around on a mattress is enough to make me ill.

    |
    Ferd Berfle replied on: March 12th, 2010 at 1:48 pm

    As a former St. Louisan, I’m especially outraged at her appropriation of the gooey butter cake as her own. She acts like she freakin’ invented butter. Shut up, already, you silly cow.

    To justify the cost of those mattresses, each purchase should include a defibrillator. I mean, you’ll need one after eating one of her dinners.

    CherryRose replied on: March 12th, 2010 at 3:13 pm

    Maybe it’s a “vibrating” mattress like the ones that used to be in sleezebag motels (and, maybe, still are!): Deposit 25 cents for an invigorating “massage” ;)

    It was probably tested by Savannah’s own three stooges.

    just wondering: are these mattresses edible? because if they are, I want to do the math to see how many sticks of butter it will take in that mattress to get a sudden heart attack just from touching it.

  29. March 12th, 2010

    Guys, it’s not just mattresses. She’s also got her name on the bed that the mattress goes on. Apparently, she has a whole line of furniture. The “Steel Magnolia” bed? The “Savannah 4 poster bed”?

    Pauler should concentrate on her “day job.” I went to the Food Network site to look up “Corned Beef” and found this so-called recipe from Pauler… the ingredients say a mouthful…
    Easy Corned Beef and Cabbage
    Ingredients
    4 slices bacon
    4 tablespoons butter
    1 head green cabbage, coarsely chopped
    Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
    1 can corned beef

    I CAN corned beef!!!!! Really! She’s turning into Aunt Sandy! A word of advise Pauler, stop hawking stuff and get back to the kitchen.

    KatW replied on: March 12th, 2010 at 7:41 pm

    As an Irish lass, I take offense to the use of canned corned beef. Who in the hell uses “canned” corned beef to make “Corned Beef and Cabbage”? Bleh.

    I hope the new Serta mattress is made of cement.

    You know, the price really doesn’t seem that bad if you think about it. To be able to support the kind of weight Paula & the Captain bring to the bed, you’re probably going to need titanium reinforcement. And that ain’t cheap.

    Paula Deen’s comment about the new mattress line when it was introduced on March 11:

    “You can definitely tell that these mattresses have been inspired by my life in the South and my home in Savannah, Ga.,” said Deen. “The collection is all about feeling good, comfortable and getting a good night’s sleep in one’s home. And just like my food, I send you comfort and love from my home to yours.”

    She is a disgusting pig. People that would buy products endorsed by her because they might seem prestgious are “end of bloodline” inbred lowclass losers.

I’d be out of that bed so fast looking for a rocket launcher to blow it into the next galaxy. Gross!
