I think it references the princess and the pea, meaning that you can still very much feel that one negative comment

Well, maybe, but if I look at the picture, I can see that the topmost mattresses are perfectly even, i.e. the bendy part of the negative comment is completely evened out after the 4th "positive comment mattress", i.e. you can't feel it at all anymore above that.

That's kind of the whole joke of "The Princess and the Pea", someone being able to tell there's something under many mattresses even though it seems like it should be impossible.
