Sir, – Emer McLysaght (“Six Irish cultural touchstones for Barry Keoghan’s popstar girlfriend Sabrina Carpenter”, Arts & Ideas, June 14th) doubts that the US has a celebrity mattress magnate like our Mattress Mick. They do indeed, by the name of Mattress Mack (Jim McIngvale), who is also known for placing huge bets on sports events like the Superbowl and refunding the winnings to his loyal customers. – Yours, etc,
