Mattress Making


This is a post of making a baby size futon bed!

The story starts from here. Our one-and-a-half-year-old wanted her own bed, since her cousin happened to have one and we found this for her from the nearby recycle center.


Since we have always been sleeping on a futon family bed AND we happened to have this wreck of a hemp futon upstears for my furniture work I decided to make the mattress with her out of this.

So first we cut a lot of slices of coconut fiber and hemp and stacked them up.

We added the cotton sheets in bedween to make it fluffy.

Then I sew a bag with a zipper out of the remnants of the bed and we added little more cotton to the top and the bottom.

Then with a lot of squeezing all of it got in and...

 ...first the mattress looked like this.

 And after evening it out - gorilla style - we sew the original felt buttons on place with a huge needle to hold it firm.

 This is how it came up.

A sweet place to dream!
