Perspective

Steps in a staircase have two measurements. Tread and rise. The proportions of what we can see make more sense as treads rather than rises. Therefore the mattress is at the bottom. Also what we can see of the handrail would make sense in either direction.
-
There's no banister in the picture. It looks like maybe there's a support for a banister, but that doesn't magically make the tops of the steps into the sides of the steps.
Ok. Then use what you know of gravity and look for things that should be the other way if this were at the bottom.

it's about the wear patterns in the Berber.
that's the bottom of the stairs because we're looking at the treads.

The wear on the steps say bottom

There is no mattress.
The cake is a lie.

The carpet has wear on one side, and it doesn't make sense for the wear to be on the front of each stair, so most likely we're looking down from the top of the flight of stairs.

If you are so pedantic so as to not consider the support for the banister as part of the banister, then frankly I have no interest in the necessary effort required to discuss this or any matter further with you.

I'm not the one being pedantic. Whatever that object is, it's not clear that it's a banister.

Exactly. I'm using what I know of gravity. The mattress should be resting on top of something. If we're looking down, it is. If we're looking up, it's floating in mid-air, apparently wedged against both walls even though it doesn't look firmly wedged on the right side.

Top, see railing

Bottom, you can see the carpet on the steps are worn out.

Bottom, or else it would have to be in the process of falling due to physics.

The correct answer is fuck whoever took this picture.

At the top-left corner of the image we see a support bracket for the hand rail. The orientation of this bracket only seems to make sense if we are at the bottom of the stairs looking up at the mattress. The shadow cast by the mattress also looks like the light is above and slightly closer to the camera.
If we were at the top looking down, that would imply that the hand rail brackets were sideways instead of being vertical, and that the light was mounted on the wall instead of the ceiling. I have seen stranger things in construction but it would still be strange and unlikely.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Alternately the left side of it is wedged because of the bannister it’s butted into.
The stairs show a kick pattern and the paint appears broken linearly due to the movement of the carpeting when kicked. (Alternately it could be from top pressure when stepped on, the paint wants to stick to the wall not the step so 50/50)
The mattress itself appears to bulge towards the viewer.
It’s all about perspective, that’s the whole point of the picture.
I see evidence for it being at the top, you see evidence for otherwise and lots of folks show how little they’re able to regulate their emotions through simple friendly discussion ( not directed at you, my dude )

So people walk on the face of the stairs now?
Look at the wear of the carpet on the stairs. -

If it were from the bottom looking up, that'd be some tall risers. So I think we're looking down.

Look at the wear of the carpet on the stairs.Old carpet will show wear as people kick / drag against the backs of the steps. This is especially true for cheaper construction where the steps don’t have the typical overhang.

We are at the top.
Suppose the mattress is at the top. Why would someone fold the mattress into a V shape and not push the point forward?
Also, it makes sense that someone would try to fold it into a V, shove it, laugh that it is stuck and take a picture.
-
So if we are looking up the stairs then why is the carpet worn on the front and center of each stair step?
Because people drag shit up the stairs and that's extremely cheap carpet?
