"going to the mattresses"

Going to war with a rival clan or family. Used in the mafia. Its when a mafia family sends someone out to get someone apartments and some mattresses for the soldiers of the family to sleep on while they hide out in saftey, waiting for a call to do something.

Sonnys thinkin' about going to the mattresses already.

No one in history has experienced such mattresses. Period.

Just in case things go south with the Russia stuff and indictments begin to get handed down. That's how some of their heroes checked out in the 40's.
