  And you can see the wear on the treads. plus the handrail mount in the top left would be at a very inconvenient height of we were looking from the bottom up

    The handrail argument doesn’t make any sense. It would be at the same height regardless of direction.

      Also, the handrail mount is sideways if we’re looking down; if we’re looking up, it makes sense.

        Maybe it is a light fixture.

    It’s at the top, I have that same bannister mount, it points upwards to the banister.

    The mattress is wedged at the top of the stairs thanks to its extreme springiness.

      This is what gets me confused. If we’re at the top, I see the banister mount turning horizontal, not up. Up from that POV would be slightly towards us but it’s angled away. We have to be looking from the bottom for it to be turning up in this photo. I have no idea how hundreds of people look at that and say it’s turning up.🤣

  It’s the top of the stairs because in the top left of thr image you can see the banister support. If the mattresses were at the bottom then the angle of that support would be different

    Why is no one else talking about this.

    There’s no debate. It’s at the top of the stairs.

    when the mattress is at the top, where is gravity and on what is it resting?

      It could be wedged.

        You think a folded in half mattress could get stuck in a stairwell? You might be on to something!

      I think it might actually be held up by the other end of that banister.

  I think it’s bottom too but I don’t agree with your reasoning, I’ve seen steps without that bit.

    How does the single mattress in half bit make you think it’s at the top? If it were at the top, the force of the mattress trying to straighten itself out would push it down the stairs. Much more likely the mattress was pushed/ tossed/ fell down the stairs and got folded in that position, imo.

      Back when I thought it was two mattresses, I thought it couldn’t be at the top because the right mattress probably wouldn’t be held up like that. But since it’s one mattress, it can relatively easily be held at that angle with most of its weight resting on the step.

      And that’s my main reason: it really seems like the mattress is being pushed towards that step, and I believe it’s being pushed by gravity. Doesn’t make as much sense for it to be pushed in that direction by someone.

      I’m not married to it though, it’s a really tricky picture.

        I’m not gonna lie, you’ve got me rethinking my position pointing out the right side of it. I do think though, that if it were at the top and resting on the one step, that the corner of the mattress resting on the step would be bowed in a bit more.

        It is quite tricky.

      I mean, it’s code for anything built during the age of home electricity.

        Well, my house has electricity and the stairs do not have that indentation at all.

      its simply code where I live and my old home where I grew up was already old AF and had those risers and treads (albeit not as deep as they should have been, I always tripped)

      Never lived in a house, only apartments with no stairs (inside the apartments) and this is obvious even to me. You can know something without ever having owned or lived with that thing.

  Some stairs don’t have different looking risers, but you’re still correct because you can see wear marks from steps on the carpet.
