Disability justice activist Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha has said in their piece "Crip Emotional Intelligence," that

mattresses stacked on the sidewalks of New York City. Stained and shaped by bodily fluids and weights, they are intimate
traces of some of our most vulnerable moments, exposed for all to see.
