Do-it-yourself mattress is an interesting and exciting process.

Nowadays, making a mattress with your own hands can be more profitable than buying it in a store. No wonder: the cost of the materials required for its tailoring is much lower than the cost of the finished factory product. The only thing needed in in large numbers- this time.

The most common filler for homemade mattresses is polyurethane foam (also known as foam rubber). There are many types of this synthetic material. All of them have different stiffness, density, elasticity and, depending on their properties and characteristics, are used in various areas of production.

Characteristics of quality foam rubber for mattresses:

The material should be soft and elastic;
Foam rubber quickly returns to its shape after the load.

The main indicator of the quality of polyurethane foam is the density. The density of foam rubber for a mattress ranges from 25 to 40 kg / m³.

Making products from pillows

The advantage of such a mattress is that it can be transformed into an armchair, and also serve as the basis for a children's "house". And even a novice seamstress can make a mattress out of pillows with their own hands, because for sewing it is necessary to lay only straight lines.

So, to work, you need:

Several pillows;
Threads and needles;
Ready-made pillowcases or just fabric;
Scissors;
It is advisable to use a sewing machine, but not required.

To sew a mattress from pillows, you can use two methods:

After prolonged use, a soiled mattress cover can be removed and washed in a washing machine.

Children are very fond of such mattresses, because they are very comfortable during games, for daytime and nighttime rest. In addition, it is lightweight, and the child himself can move it to places for games or recreation.

Homemade orthopedic mattress

To make an orthopedic mattress with your own hands, you need the following materials:

Dense polyurethane foam (for laying along the edge);
main filler;
Cover fabric;
Glue (it is important that it is safe, does not emit toxins and a strong odor, it will be needed to glue the filler layers).

Foam rubber will be the main filler. It is best to lay it in a whole piece. Will improve the user properties of the bed layer-by-layer application together with PPU (polyurethane foam) coconut fiber. This is one of the ways to make a mattress firmer, because moderate firmness of a mattress is very good for the spine. In this way, mattresses of different hardness can be made. To do this, on the one hand, lay coconut fiber, and on the other foam rubber.

Another solution is to use struttofiber, a dense material with vertical fibers, together with polyurethane foam. It will also qualitatively support the spine. You can place a strut fiber on both sides, and fill the middle with polyurethane foam, or you can alternate it with coconut slabs.

The cover is traditionally sewn from dense natural fabrics. The best for these purposes are coarse calico and natural linen..

Manufacturing master class

Before the production process begins, it is necessary to die out the dimensions of the bed. To do this, you can use the roulette wheel. Then you can proceed to the assembly of the holding box (frame). The material for it will be dense polyurethane foam with a thickness of 50 to 100 mm.

It is desirable that the mattress is at least 14-15 cm thick. With a smaller thickness, it will be uncomfortable to sleep on it.

It is necessary to achieve accuracy in the dimensions of the bed and the components of the mattress. It depends on how strong and dense the product will be at the output. In addition, scrupulousness in size is needed so that it lies snugly on the bed and does not slip on the sides, and the sleeping bed is stable.

After that, the filler is laid. If you managed to get a large solid piece of polyurethane foam desired thickness, you need to measure the free space in assembled frame and with the help of a clerical or shoe knife, evenly cut out the necessary fragment.

If the mattress for the bed will consist of several foam layers, then the sheets are glued together. Otherwise, the product will not be the required density. Under the person lying on the bed, the mattress will "walk".

How to sew a cover

After the stuffing is done and placed in the box holding it, you can start making a mattress topper. The pattern should consist of two pieces of fabric with a margin for seams and side parts (usually it is about 3 centimeters on all sides).

The cover must be very tight, so that it is put on with a certain effort, this will add strength and elasticity to the mattress. All seams must remain inside. To sew a durable and high-quality cover, you need to use only natural fabrics and thick threads. Do not save on your health and comfort. Often, someone's help is required to put on a cover, because it is quite difficult to stretch a dense fabric evenly by one.

After the cover is stretched, it can be sewn up. However, for convenience, it is permissible to sew a zipper on one side. This cover is considered permanent, not removable. But on it you need to sew a removable one, which will be equipped with two zippers. It is very convenient, because it can be removed and washed at any time.

If you don’t want to bother and sew a cover at home, you can buy a mattress pad of a suitable size. True, it may need to be adjusted (if you have a children's or non-standard size product).

The made mattress will need to be ventilated in the fresh air. This will get rid of the unpleasant smells of foam rubber or glue.

Attention, only TODAY!

Today there are many different mattresses on sale, starting in rather expensive water or air mattresses, ending with more budget options, in which furniture foam rubber or cotton wool plays the role of a filler. An improperly selected mattress can cause many problems with the musculoskeletal system, therefore, when choosing this product, all the nuances must be taken into account.

Which mattress is better - foam rubber or cotton?

In terms of price, both foam rubber and wadded products are approximately on the same level, and are among the lowest price category. Their orthopedic effect is not at all high level, but in any case, as a temporary option, such mattresses can also be considered.

cotton wool

If we talk about mattresses with cotton filling, then their main advantage is the use of not synthetic material, but cotton, which is harmless to the body. In addition, this material perfectly retains heat, so the bed will be more comfortable.

However, cotton wool, as a filler, has many disadvantages:

The life of a cotton mattress is unlikely to exceed 5-7 years, even with careful care and regular washing of the cover.
It happens that in cotton they start various insects and it's very hard to deal with them.

Foam rubber

Polyurethane or foam rubber can also be used to fill mattresses. In this case, the density of foam rubber plays a huge role. Due to the specifics of factory production (in a liquid state, foamed polyurethane is poured into a special form), over time, the filler of such a mattress does not clump.

The main disadvantage of products made of foam rubber is that over time it tends to squeeze through, in addition, any foam rubber is very sensitive to moisture - it worsens its properties.

The service life is also small - the same 5-7 years, subject to regular maintenance. However, the price differs big side in comparison with a mattress filled with cotton wool, the cost of foam rubber is still somewhat higher than cotton wool.

Important! If a special, so-called intelligent polyurethane is used to fill the mattress, then the cost will increase even more. This mattress filler is suitable for those who have problems with the musculoskeletal system. He knows how to “remember” a person’s favorite posture and adjusts to it.

Which foam is best for mattresses?

When answering the question of which type of foam rubber is best for making a mattress with your own hands, we should mention the classification of foam rubber. The main indicators used in the classification are its elasticity and porosity.

Mattress foam must meet two main criteria:

on the one hand, it must be sufficiently resilient and elastic;
on the other hand, to “be able” to recover their form after loads.

Consider different types to understand which one is preferable to buy:

Very soft HS brand foam rubber is used exclusively for noise insulation. It has a high porosity and should not be used as a filler for a mattress.
Usually, polyurethane grades EL and ST are used in the production of furniture in the middle price range, the material of these classes is also undesirable to use for mattresses.
Only the material of the VE and HR brands, which is used for luxury furniture, can successfully act as a mattress. Sometimes such furniture polyurethane is called latex or highly elastic. Products using this material are much superior to cotton ones, since during sleep on it a person is in the correct position, which makes it possible to fully relax.

Important! Many, choosing a mattress, doubt whether foam rubber is harmful to health. In the process of combustion, of course, a sufficient amount is released into the atmosphere harmful substances. But with normal use, this material is completely harmless and does not pose a danger even to allergy sufferers.

DIY mattress

Experts advise using only orthopedic mattresses in everyday life, because in addition to a full and comfortable rest, it is also the prevention of many diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Unfortunately, the cost of factory-made products is quite high and not everyone can afford it. Meanwhile, it is quite possible to make a mattress with your own hands from foam rubber step by step.

When making a mattress, you can go in two ways:

Simplify the task as much as possible and use a thick layer of highly elastic material as a filler. After cutting, you just have to process the edges of the material, then sheathe it with a cloth and put a cover on top.

Important! A foam mattress 10 cm thick, made in this way, will be quite comfortable and convenient.

But you can complicate the task and combine a layer of polyurethane and a spring base in a mattress. In this case, as a result, you will get an analogue of a factory-made orthopedic product.

Important! One of the most the best options a spring base with independent springs is considered. In this case, a person can be guaranteed to take a comfortable position for him.

Materials for work:

In the proposed design, the spring base will be placed in a box, which is glued together from pieces of foam rubber.
For the side faces, material with a thickness of approximately 30 mm can be used, but for the lower and upper parts - at least 50 mm.
You will also need braid, felt and fabric for sewing the cover and lining the mattress itself.

The main part of the mattress

The basis of the mattress is a design that consists of:

two layers of polyurethane;
two layers of felt;
spring base located between them.

Manufacturing principle:

After cutting the felt and foam rubber, first a foam layer is laid on any horizontal surface, then a layer of felt, a spring base, a felt layer again and this “pie” is covered with another foam layer.

Important! Felt is used here so that under load the springs do not damage the surface of the polyurethane.

The free space on the sides must be closed with inserts from the same foam rubber, as a result, a closed box should be obtained.
For bonding individual elements This box is better to use special glue. You can get by with " liquid nails” or ordinary PVA. But in this case, the drying time of the glue will increase, and a hard crust will appear at the place of gluing, which will simply crack when deformed.

Important! To create additional strength, you can put a board on the foam rubber during the gluing process, and place a load on it.

Cover tailoring

To sew a mattress with your own hands, you should also make a cover for it:

To do this, you will need fabric and batting.
In the process of cutting, you should simply take into account the dimensions of the foam "box". And, of course, leave a margin for processing the edges.
On the initial stage batting is sewn to the fabric. On the flat surface fabric and batting are combined with each other and manually stitched along the long side of the rectangle several times.
After that, you can start processing the edges. First, the excess batting that protrudes beyond the fabric is cut off, and then it is stitched around the perimeter of the future cover with an overcast seam.
Next, you can sew the narrow parts of your cover into one piece.
Large parts must be sewn using decorative braid that hides the seam. First, the braid is sewn around the perimeter of a large part, then the edge of the narrow part is applied to the same braid, the braid is folded and stitched.

Important! By the same principle, a zipper is also sewn, so that in the future it will be possible to get a mattress for washing.

DIY air mattress

It turns out that it is also possible to make an air mattress with your own hands. For this:

Take a dense material, which can be either plain or multi-colored - it depends on your desire.
A shell for a future product is sewn from it.
Next, we divide it into four equal compartments, the size of which is 170 by 80 cm.
Side compartments are desirable to provide lacing. This is best done to ensure access to them.
Next, take ordinary, previously not fully inflated, balls. Place an average of 5-7 balls in each of the compartments (the number will depend on the size of your product).
Lace up the sides and start using the product for its intended purpose.

Do-it-yourself foam rubber mattress - who might be interested in this topic? First of all, to those who plan to become a professional furniture maker in the future and are already trying themselves in this business. Also for those who want to save on the purchase of a new orthopedic mattress. Making an item for sleeping with your own hands eliminates the need to pay for work - you only have to spend money on materials. And, finally, for those who simply love to craft, create, are not afraid to take on the unknown and want to understand “how the world works and everything in it”!

Making your own comfortable mattress

Having decided to create an orthopedic mattress with your own hands, you need to take into account a number of points.

Qualities. Making a mattress with your own hands is quite realistic. It might even be exciting. However, if you intend to quality product, without accuracy, perseverance, patience and scrupulousness is indispensable.
Theory. If there is only a desire, but there are no special skills and even theoretical knowledge, it does not hurt to read a few articles about the varieties of modern fillers and their properties, the required degree of mattress rigidity and the materials used for sewing covers.
Materials. The search for the materials themselves - blocks or layers of filler, special glue and fabric for sheathing - is a crucial moment. The degree of difficulty in finding high-quality, durable and safe materials will depend on the region you live in. Big city - big opportunities, where the assortment is in abundance. Residents of small towns and villages will have to spend time searching for a decent manufacturer on the Internet and pay extra for delivery.
Instruments. Next, you need to take care of the availability of the necessary tools for the job.
Case. If you do not know how to sew, you need to think about someone who will help with the calculation of the amount of fabric for the cover and be able to make it.

In the presence of quality materials and a careful approach to business, you can count on quite a good result!

Do-it-yourself foam mattress

Foam rubber (polyurethane foam) - a material ideal for beginners. A minimum of knowledge is required to create a monoblock foam mattress technological process And minimal amount materials to create it. In addition, PPU blocks are a relatively affordable product. It is possible to choose the size of the block, the desired height, density and rigidity.

Selection of foam rubber for a mattress (foam rubber density)

IN modern production orthopedic mattresses foam rubber, or as it is also called, polyurethane foam (PPU) - the main filler that provides comfort and durability of sleep products. In spring models, it isolates the spring block, in springless models it performs load-bearing functions.

Thanks to scientific and technological progress and new technologies, the properties of foam rubber for last years managed to improve significantly. Now it is not the same at all: crumbling, yellowing, quickly losing elasticity, sticking together material, but improved - in some brands, literally beyond recognition.

Reference! Foam rubber - soft, elastic polyurethane foam (PPU). The name foam rubber is nothing but a transition of the name trademark(Norwegian company Porolon, supplying polyurethane foam in Soviet times in the USSR) as a common noun.

Brands of furniture foam rubber are conditionally divided into 6 categories. PPU marking reads as:

letters at the beginning - brand of foam rubber;
the first two digits are the density of the material (kg / m³);
the second two digits are stiffness (resistance to compression).

Standard (ST) made from a single polyol. The stiffness of the material is determined by the density. A density of 35 (ST 3542) is considered suitable for mattresses in the ST category.

Reference! Even with a density of 35 ST, it is not designed for people with a lot of weight (optimally - up to 80 kg).

Increased rigidity (EL)- reinforced, reinforced polyurethane foam, with the addition of rigidity to the standard polyol. Due to this, at the same density, a more rigid material is obtained. Great option for a quality mattress - brand EL 3245.

Extra hard (HL). For example, HL 4065 is a brand that has high density and rigidity. Durable, reliable, expensive foam rubber for a mega-springless, designed to withstand extreme loads in the form of pressure from the weight of very fat people.

Highly elastic (HR) made from four polyols. Manufacturing process quite laborious, which, accordingly, affects the price. Durable, with more bearing capacity. HR 5535 - a brand worthy of attention - with operational life up to 15 years old.

Reference! Brand HR* 6030 LL - WATERLATTEX - highly elastic, with increased comfort. It feels like the difference between water latex and natural latex is almost impossible to notice.

Viscoelastic (VE)-MEMORY- latest product in the production of polyurethane foams. Expensive, but fully justifies the price of the material. It is considered one of the best due to durability, reliability, quality, high anatomical effect. The EL 5020 brand has proven itself excellently.

Advice! Before deciding to purchase the VE grade, test the properties of the material by lying on it. Although in most cases the reviews about the characteristics are enthusiastic, not all 100% of those who have tried it like the enveloping effect.

Preparation of materials and tools

You will need:

Foam rubber of increased rigidity (HL) with a thickness of at least 5 cm - for the mattress frame (along the perimeter). In case the mattress complete man made of HL brand foam rubber, no additional frame is needed. Ready-made mattresses in the full line are equipped with a euroframe.
The main filler of one of the following grades: EL, HR, HR*, VE. The budget brand HS is generally not recommended for the manufacture of mattresses. The ST brand is suitable for an item that will be rarely used, such as: a guest place, a country option.
Layers of coconut coir - optional. As layers (to increase rigidity) or on top of one of the sides of the mattress (to create a double-sided rigidity product).
Roulette.
Marker or felt-tip pen - for marking.
Long ruler or rake - for drawing straight lines.
Sharp knife - for cutting foam rubber.
A sheet of plywood - as a substrate for cutting.
Special glue for gluing foam rubber (you can consult in a furniture store, or on a site selling polyurethane foam).
The fabric for sewing the cover is preferably specialized. It can be jacquard, quilted version with a softening backing or insulation, bamboo fiber, terry cloth with a waterproof membrane base.
Long zipper (or 2 shorter), threads.
Scissors - for cutting the cover.

Mattress making

Below is step-by-step instruction manufacturing the simplest model mattress from the PPU block.

To begin with, accurate internal measurements of the bed box are made.
Then, strips-bars are cut out of extra-rigid polyurethane foam - for the mattress frame. The height of the strips is equal to the future height (thickness) of the mattress. The rectangle assembled from the strips along the outer perimeter must correspond internal dimensions bed box.

Reference! How is PPU cut? First, mark up with a felt-tip pen or marker. A sheet of plywood is placed under the cut so as not to damage the surface on which the cut is made. You need a very sharp knife, preferably with a replaceable blade (otherwise you will have to constantly grind). The knife is held vertically, the movements must be precise and strong. If the thickness of the foam is greater than the length of the blade of the knife, the foam is cut to the thickness of the length of the blade, then pushed apart and moved deeper, again holding the knife vertically. The appearance of scuffs on the foam rubber is a signal that the blade needs to be changed or sharpened.

Strips-bars are glued, laying them on a flat surface.
Inside the frame, a precisely cut base is laid from a PPU block of less rigidity. The ends of the mattress are glued with internal parties foam box-frame.

Important! The base block must be solid.

One side of the mattress, if desired, can be equipped with a latex coir board by gluing it to the surface!

How to sew a mattress cover?

To sew a cover you will need:

Take accurate measurements of the finished mattress: length, width, height (thickness).
Calculate the amount of fabric based on the size of the mattress and the width of the sample of the fabric you like.
Cut out two rectangles (upper + lower) with seam allowances for sewing the side strip along all four sections.
Cut out a strip encircling the sides of the mattress. It is better that the cover is removable. To do this, the strip encircling the side parts of the mattress is cut along the middle. On the one hand (long or short) it is stitched tightly. The remaining three are connected with the help of a long zipper (or two) - according to the principle of a suitcase fastener. In the version with a zipper, it is important not to forget to give additional allowances for stitching the zipper.

Important! The cover should be very tight - so much so that it has to be put on with outside help, but not small.

How to sew a mattress cover?

Mattress cover. The principle of sewing a mattress cover is similar to the algorithm for sewing a mattress cover. With the difference that the mattress cover does not have to fit the mattress as tightly as the cover.

With corner straps. You can limit yourself to sewing a simplified dense mattress cover with corner elastic bands.

With elastic around the perimeter. Another simple model: a mattress pad with sidewalls, held by an elastic band drawn into the backstage (along the perimeter).

How to shrink a mattress at home?

If for some reason the finished mattress cannot be returned, but needs to be reduced in size (shortened, narrowed), you will need to perform 5 simple steps.

Open the trim on the desired side.
Using a marker and a long strip, mark up.
Cut off the springless block (if necessary, detach part of the spring block).
Shorten (narrow) the casing accordingly.
Close the cover carefully.

How to make a mattress firmer or softer?

Topper - a thin mattress - a product that helps to adjust the rigidity. Models made of latex, soft polyurethane foam or holofiber will add softness to the sleeping surface. Latex coir is a hard filler.

Reference! Like a mattress, a topper can be made by yourself.

Summing up

As you can see, making a mattress with your own hands is quite a feasible task. What is needed for this?

Desire to see things through to the end and a determined attitude.
Determination of needs (size, height, desired degree of rigidity).
Some theoretical knowledge (about the types of fillers, adhesives, fabrics for sheathing).
Availability of quality materials.
Accuracy in work, accuracy of movements, patience, perseverance.
The cover and mattress cover can be sewn independently or to order.

Making a foam rubber mattress with your own hands is a great idea for those who want to provide themselves with a comfortable bed, but at the same time spend a minimum Money. Depending on the materials used, you can save up to 50% of the cost of the finished product.

Construction types

Most often, cotton and foam mattresses are made at home. The advantage of the first of them is the naturalness of the materials, and the main advantages of the second are that the foam rubber:

disadvantages this material- sensitivity to moisture, deformation (punching) with prolonged use.

Mattresses made at home are of two types:

Springless mattress. His optimum thickness is 10 cm. Such a product is extremely easy to manufacture: it is enough to cut the material prepared in advance, process its edges, sheathe it with a cloth, put on a cover.
Mattress with springs. This design is similar to a factory orthopedic mattress. The most beneficial for health are spring bases with independent springs, however, if such a design could not be found, a standard spring block can be used. The manufacturing process consists of two stages. On the first of them, a box is assembled, which acts as a base, and on the second, a filler is placed in the box. For top and lower parts the box uses foam rubber with a thickness of at least 5 cm, and for the side faces, a material with a thickness of 3 cm is suitable.

In the manufacture of any of these designs, the master will need a dense fabric for sheathing, strong threads.

Manufacture of a springless product

Let's try to figure out how to make a mattress with your own hands, without using spring blocks. For work you will need:

dense polyurethane that will support the structure on the sides (its thickness should vary from 5 to 10 cm);
the main filler (at least 14-15 cm thick);
dense fabric for sewing a cover.

As a filler, it is desirable to use a single piece of foam rubber of a suitable size. If it was not possible to find a sheet of the required dimensions, then you can take several pieces of material and glue them together. To do sleeping place increased rigidity, it is recommended to purchase coconut coir and put it between the layers of foam rubber. It is also possible to make a structure with different rigidity of the sides, in which case coconut fiber is placed on one side of the filler, and polyurethane foam on the other.

In addition to materials, the master will need tools, namely: sewing machine, sharp knife, scissors, tape measure. It is necessary to purchase a special glue with which the elements of the product will be connected. It is important that the glue is safe for health, does not emit toxins, and does not have unpleasant odors.

Phased collection begins with the manufacture of the frame. When it is ready, you need to measure the length and width of the free space inside it, and then fit the piece of foam rubber to size and place it in the frame. It is recommended to cut the material with a sharp shoe or clerical knife.

Then you should sew the cover. First, the mattress is measured, and then two pieces of fabric are measured. When cutting fabric, it is important to leave reserves for the thickness of the side parts and seams. The seams should be left approximately 3 cm on each side. It is desirable that the cover is tight and put on the frame with some difficulty. In this case, the finished product will be sufficiently elastic, durable (foam rubber will not “walk” inside the cover).

It is better to sew a cover from natural fabrics, this will reduce the risk of developing allergies, in addition, it is much more pleasant to sleep on natural fabric. The threads used must be strong, since the durability of the product largely depends on them. The finished cover must be put on the mattress and sewn up from the free side. Such a cover is non-removable, but if desired, you can make another, removable cover, equipped with zippers or buttons. The finished mattress needs to be placed on Fresh air(to the balcony or loggia) so that unpleasant odors disappear.

Assembly with springs

Now let's take a step-by-step look at the manufacturing process of a product with springs. First of all, you need to cut out all the elements of the future product, and then put a layer of foam rubber on a horizontal surface, on top of it - a layer of felt, a spring base, another layer of felt and a layer of foam rubber. Felt is necessary so that the springs do not damage the foam rubber. On the sides, the design is closed with foam inserts.

To connect all the elements to each other, a special glue is used; if necessary, you can replace it with ordinary PVA. Some craftsmen use liquid nails, but a hard crust forms at the places of their application, which can crack during use of the product.

To make a cover, you will need a dense fabric and batting. From them you need to cut out the details suitable sizes, and then sew the batting to the fabric, and stitch the resulting rectangle in several places. This is necessary so that the batting does not move during use.

Then the protruding edges of the batting are cut off, the rectangle around the perimeter is stitched with an overcast seam. After that, the parts of the cover are connected to each other using decorative braid. First, it is sewn to large parts (to the top, bottom of the future mattress), and then narrow parts are applied and sewn to it. At the request of the master, the cover is equipped with zippers that allow you to remove it from the mattress for washing.

You will need

- foam rubber;
- synthetic winterizer, batting or other stuffing;
- fabric for the cover;
- sewing machine;
- threads;
- spring blocks;
- wooden slats;
- cord;
- nails;
- hammer;
- stapler.

Instruction

Before you start doing mattress, determine what will be inside. If you need a removable mattress, which can be folded and removed after use, choose a foam or padding base, and for a fixed bed, you can also make a spring mattress.

To make foam mattress, buy a piece of foam rubber and mark out the shape. There may be several options here. If you need folding mattress, make it from several parts, placing them across the bed. For a stationary bed, cut out a large mattress from one or two longitudinal parts. Cut the foam together with an assistant, one of you should stretch the halves, and the other sharp knife cut exactly along the intended line.

Mark the pattern on the fabric, adding a thickness allowance on each side. mattress and a few centimeters for the seams. To make the cover washable, make it like a pillowcase - with an overlap. To do this, add another 20 cm along the length.

Sew a cover for mattress but, first all the transverse sections, then along the length, laying the corners across the side seams along such a width as the width of the foam rubber. Finish all seams with an overlock or zigzag. Slide the foam into the case.

To do mattress from batting, synthetic winterizer or other soft stuffing, start with a cover. Measure the size of the bed, when creating a pattern, consider the thickness mattress but. Then sew a fabric cover of the required size, with an overlap or a zipper. Gently fill it with stuffing, given that it will quickly nail down and become twice as thin. To prevent the stuffing from bunching up, sew in several places mattress through, attaching small pieces of fabric on both sides.

If you want to make a spring mattress, you need to buy spring blocks, their number depends on the size of the bed. Put them in order, strictly vertically, make sure that the upper ends are at the same level. Fasten the lower parts of the springs wooden slats 2 cm thick and 6-7 cm wide.

Wire the springs. To do this, drive in large nails (50-60 mm) along the ends of the bed opposite each row and bend them away from the springs. Take a strong cord 2-5 mm thick and tie all the springs of each row, first across the bed, then along and lastly along two diagonals. Lay burlap or other dense fabric over the springs, then a layer of batting or synthetic winterizer, tighten mattress upholstery fabric, fixing it with a furniture stapler.

To make their car look more attractive, many car owners buy additional equipment for it. One of them spoiler. But there is an opportunity to do it on your own.

You will need

- one sheet of foam 1x1 m, 5 cm thick
- 2 running meters fiberglass
- sheet steel 1.5 mm thick and welding
- three cans of paint
- two cans of primer
- 2 kg epoxy adhesive with hardener
- coarse sandpaper and very fine sandpaper
