  Up and down are manmade constructs, so I assign the direction thatthe mattress is as the top of the stairs. Move the mattress to the other end? Well that’s the top now, just how it has to be /j

  Depends on whether the thing in the top right is a sconce or a railing.

  I think it is the bottom of the top of the stairs because of the lighting to the bottom left of the mattress. That should be in shadow from the mattress if it was at the bottom of the stairs.

    Definitely the bottom of the top.

    Could be that there’s a door or window that’s contributing a lot of light down low, spilling under the mattress.

      We are looking down on the mattress and it is casting a shadow on the step below it. If we were looking up at the mattress it would be casting a shadow across the stairs in front of it.

  bottom, as we only can see the treads not the risers (that small inset underneath a step).

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

    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?

    agreed

  • NielsBohron@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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

      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.

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

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

    source

    • papalonian@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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.

  From the wear patten on the carpet I would say bottom, but the handle to the side makes me think top !..

    It’s a curtain rod to a window midway up the stairs. We’re looking down a flight of steep older stairs. The mattress is lit by the window that is (mostly) under the rod, and by an open door at the bottom of the stairs.

    Could be a sconce instead of a weirdly placed handle.

    The railing probably has the hangers perpendicular to the railing instead of plumb to the ground. Just the cheapest ones you can get.
