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 to sew it is significantly lower than the cost of the finished factory product. The only thing you need in a large number - 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 rigidity, density, elasticity and, depending on their properties and characteristics, are used in various areas of production.

Characteristics of high-quality foam rubber for mattresses:

The material must be soft and resilient;
Foam rubber quickly returns to its shape after loading.

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

Making a product from pillows

The advantage of such a mattress is that it can be transformed into an armchair, and also serve as a basis for a children's "house". And even a novice seamstress can make a mattress from pillows with his own hands, because for sewing only straight stitches must be laid.

So, for 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 necessary.

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

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

Children love these mattresses very much, as they are very comfortable while playing, for day and night rest. In addition, it is lightweight, and the child can move it to places for play or rest.

Homemade orthopedic mattress

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

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

The main filler will be foam rubber. It would be best to lay it in a whole piece. Layer-by-layer application of coconut fiber together with polyurethane foam will improve the user properties of the bed. This is one of the ways you can make the mattress harder, because moderate mattress firmness is very beneficial for the spine. Thus, mattresses of different hardness can be made. To do this, lay on one side coconut fiberand foam rubber on the other.

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

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

Manufacturing workshop

Before the production process begins, the dimensions of the bed must be extinct. To do this, you can use a tape measure. Then you can proceed to the assembly of the retaining 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. If the thickness is less, it will be uncomfortable to sleep on it.

Accuracy in bed dimensions and mattress components must be achieved. It depends on how strong and dense the product will be at the exit. In addition, scrupulousness in size is needed so that it fits 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 manage to get a large solid piece of polyurethane foam required thickness, you need to measure the free space in assembled frame and using a clerical or boot knife, cut the required fragment exactly.

If the mattress for the bed will consist of several foam layers, then the sheets are glued together. Otherwise, the product will not have the required density. The mattress will “walk” under the person lying on the bed.

How to sew a cover

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

The cover must be very tight so that it can be 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. You shouldn't skimp on your health and comfort. Often, someone's help is required to put on a cover, because it is quite difficult for one to pull on a dense fabric.

After the cover is pulled, 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 topper of a suitable size. True, it may need to be adjusted (if you have a childish or custom-sized product).

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

Attention, only TODAY!

Today, there are many different mattresses on sale, ranging from rather expensive water or air mattresses to more budget options, in which the role of the filler is played by furniture foam rubber or cotton wool. An incorrectly selected mattress can cause many problems with the musculoskeletal system, therefore, when choosing this product, you must take into account all the nuances.

Which mattress is better - foam or wadded?

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

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 service life of a cotton wool mattress is unlikely to exceed 5-7 years, even with careful maintenance and regular washing of the cover.
It so happens that cotton starts various insects, and fighting them is very difficult.

Foam rubber

Polyurethane or foam can also be used to fill mattresses. In this case, the density of the 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 get lost in lumps.

The main disadvantage of foam rubber products is that over time it tends to be squeezed through, moreover, any foam rubber is very sensitive to moisture - it worsens its properties.

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

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

Which foam is more suitable for mattresses?

Answering the question, what kind of foam rubber is better for making a mattress with your own hands, mention should be made of the classification of foam rubber. The main indicators used in the classification are its elasticity and porosity.

Foam mattress should meet two main criteria:

on the one hand, it must be sufficiently resilient and elastic;
on the other hand, it is “to be able” to recover its shape after exertion.

Consider different typesto understand which one is preferable to buy:

Very soft foam rubber of the HS brand is used exclusively for sound insulation. It is highly porous and should not be used as a filler for a mattress.
Usually, in the production of furniture of the middle price range, polyurethane of the EL and ST brands is used, the material of these classes is also undesirable 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 while sleeping 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 of harmful substances... But with normal use, this material is completely harmless and does not pose a danger even for 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. To our great regret, 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 fabric and put on a cover on top.

Important! A 10 cm thick foam mattress 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 the mattress. In this case, the result will be 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 position that is comfortable for him.

Materials for work:

In the proposed design, the spring base will be placed in a box glued from pieces of foam rubber.
For the side faces, a 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 covering the mattress itself.

Main part of the mattress

The basis of the mattress is a construction, which consists of:

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

Manufacturing principle:

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

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

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 gluing individual elements it is better to use special glue for this box. You can get by and “ 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 bonding site, 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 sewing

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

To do this, you need fabric and batting.
In the process of cutting, you just need to take into account the dimensions of the foam "box". Well, and, of course, leave a margin for processing the edges.
On initial stage the batting is sewn to the fabric. On flat surface the fabric and batting are aligned and manually stitched along the long side of the rectangle several times.
After that, you can start to process the edges. First, the excess batting is cut off, protruding beyond the fabric, and after that, along the perimeter of the future cover, it is stitched with an overcast seam.
Next, you can sew the narrow parts of your cover into one piece.
Large parts must be sewn using decorative tape that hides the seam. First, the braid is sewn along 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! The zipper is sewn on the same principle, so that in the future it will be possible to take out the mattress for washing.

DIY inflatable mattress

It turns out that making an inflatable mattress with your own hands is also possible. For this:

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

DIY foam mattress - who might be interested in this topic? First of all, for 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 money on buying a new orthopedic mattress. Making an item for sleeping with your own hands eliminates the need to pay for work - you will have to spend only on materials. And, finally, for those who just love to tinker, create, are not afraid to take on the unknown and want to understand “how the world and everything in it works”!

We create a comfortable mattress ourselves

Having made the decision to create an orthopedic mattress with your own hands, you need to consider a number of points.

Quality. It is quite possible to make a mattress with your own hands. It can even be fun. However, if you intend to receive quality product, you cannot do without accuracy, perseverance, patience and scrupulousness.
Theory. If there is only a desire, but there are no special skills and even theoretical knowledge, it will not hurt to read several articles about the types 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 upholstery - is a crucial moment. The degree of difficulty in finding high-quality, durable and safe materials will depend on the region in which you live. Big city - great opportunities where assortment is plentiful. Residents of small towns and villages will have to spend time looking for a decent manufacturer on the Internet and pay extra for delivery.
Tools. Next, you need to take care of the availability of the tools necessary for the work.
Cover. If you do not know how to sew, you need to think about who will help with calculating the amount of fabric for the cover and will be able to make it.

In the presence of quality materials and an accurate approach to business, you can count on a very good result!

DIY foam mattress

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

Selection of foam rubber for the mattress (foam density)

IN modern production for orthopedic mattresses, foam rubber, or as it is also called, polyurethane foam (PPU), is the main filler that provides comfort and durability of sleep products. In spring models, it insulates 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 at all the same: crumbling, yellowing, quickly losing elasticity, sticking together material, and improved - in some brands, literally beyond recognition.

Reference! Foam rubber - soft, flexible polyurethane foam (PPU). The name foam rubber is nothing more than the transition of the name brand (Norwegian company Porolon, which supplies PU foam to soviet times in the USSR) in a common noun.

Furniture foam brands are conventionally divided into 6 categories. PPU marking is read as:

letters at the beginning - a 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 one polyol. The stiffness of a material is determined by its density. The density 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 large weight (optimally - up to 80 kg).

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

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

Highly elastic (HR) made from four polyols. Manufacturing process rather laborious, which, accordingly, affects the price. Long-lasting, with more bearing capacity... HR 5535 - a brand that deserves attention - with operational life up to 15 years old.

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

Viscoelastic (VE) - MEMORY - newest product in the production of polyurethane foams. Expensive, but fully justifiable material. It is considered one of the best because of its durability, reliability, quality, high anatomical effect. The EL 5020 brand has proven itself well.

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

Preparation of materials and tools

You will need:

Foam rubber with increased rigidity (HL) with a thickness of at least 5 cm - for the mattress frame (along the perimeter). When the mattress is full man made of HL foam rubber, no additional frame required. Ready-made mattresses in the line for overweight are equipped with a Euro frame.
The main filler of one of the following brands: EL, HR, HR *, VE. The budgetary brand HS is generally not recommended for making mattresses. The ST brand is suitable for an item that will rarely be used, such as a guest place, a summer cottage option.
Layers of coconut coir are optional. As interlayers (to increase rigidity) or on top of one of the sides of the mattress (to create a product of double-sided rigidity).
Roulette.
Marker or felt-tip pen - for marking.
Long ruler or rail - for drawing straight lines.
Sharp knife - for cutting foam rubber.
Plywood sheet - as a substrate for cutting.
Special glue for gluing foam rubber (you can consult a furniture store, or on the website for the sale of PU foam).
Fabric for sewing a cover - preferably specialized. It can be jacquard, a quilted version with a softening backing or insulation, bamboo fiber, terry with a waterproof membrane base.
Long zipper (or 2 shorter), threads.
Scissors - for cutting the cover.

Making a mattress

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

To begin with, make accurate internal measurements of the bed box.
Then, strips 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. A rectangle assembled from stripes along the outer perimeter must correspond internal dimensions bed boxes.

Reference! How is polyurethane foam cut? First, markup is performed with a felt-tip pen or marker. A sheet of plywood is placed under the place of the cut so as not to damage the surface on which the cut is made. A very sharp knife is needed, preferably with a replaceable blade (otherwise you will have to constantly sharpen). 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 knife blade, the foam is cut to the thickness of the length of the blade, then spread and advanced, again holding the knife vertically. The appearance of bullies on the foam is a signal that the blade needs to be changed, or sharpened.

The strips are glued together by laying them on a flat surface.
An accurately cut base from a PU foam block of lower rigidity is laid inside the frame. The ends of the mattress are glued with internal parties foam box-frame.

Important! The base unit must be solid.

Optionally, one side of the mattress can be fitted with a latex coir board by gluing it to the surface!

How to sew a mattress cover?

To sew the 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 (top + bottom) with seam allowances for stitching the side strip along all four cuts.
Cut out a strip around the sides of the mattress. It is better that the cover is removable. For this, the strip surrounding the sides of the mattress is cut along the middle. On one side (long or short) it is cut tightly. The other three are connected with a long zipper (or two) sewn in - 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 attaching the zipper.

Important! The cover should be very tight - so that you have to put it on with assistance, but not small.

How to sew a mattress topper?

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

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

With elastic around the perimeter. Another simple model: a mattress topper with sidewalls, held by an elastic band pulled into the drawstring (along the perimeter).

How to shrink the mattress at home?

If for some reason it is impossible to return the finished mattress, but you need to reduce in size (shorten, narrow), you will need to perform 5 simple steps.

Open the trim on the desired side.
Use a marker and long plank to mark.
Cut off the springless block (if necessary, disconnect part of the spring block).
Shorten (narrow) the skin accordingly.
Sew up the cover carefully.

How to make the mattress harder or softer?

Topper - a thin mattress - a product that helps to correct firmness. 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 and determined.
Determination of needs (size, height, desired degree of rigidity).
Some theoretical knowledge (about the types of fillers, adhesives, fabrics for upholstery).
Availability of quality materials.
Accuracy in work, precision of movements, patience, perseverance.
The cover and the mattress cover can be sewn independently or to order.

Making a foam mattress with your own hands is a great idea for those who want to provide themselves with a comfortable sleeping place, 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.

Types of structures

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 of this material - sensitivity to moisture, deformation (punching) during prolonged use.

Homemade mattresses are of two types:

Springless mattress. His optimal thickness is 10 cm. Such a product is distinguished by the maximum ease of manufacture: it is enough to cut the prepared material, 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 to health are spring bases with independent springs, but if such a design is not 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 the top and lower parts the box uses foam rubber with a thickness of at least 5 cm, and for the side edges a material with a thickness of 3 cm is suitable.

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

Making a springless product

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

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

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

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.

The step-by-step 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 a piece of foam rubber in size and place it in the frame. It is recommended to cut the material with a sharp shoe or clerical knife.

Then the cover should be sewn. First, the mattress is measured, and then two pieces of fabric are measured. When cutting fabrics, it is important to reserve the thickness of the sides and seams. Leave about 3 cm on each side of the seams. It is advisable that the cover is tight and fits on the frame with some difficulty. In this case, the finished product will be sufficiently elastic and durable (the 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 not removable, but if you wish, you can make another, removable cover equipped with zippers or buttons. The finished mattress needs to be placed on fresh air (on a balcony or loggia) so that unpleasant odors disappear.

Assembling the structure with springs

Now let's take a step-by-step look at the process of making 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. 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, special glue is used, if necessary, you can replace it with ordinary PVA. Some craftsmen use liquid nails, but a hard crust forms in the places where they are applied, which can crack during the use of the product.

To make the cover, you will need thick fabric and batting. Parts need to be cut out of them suitable sizes, and then sew the batting to the fabric, and sew the resulting rectangle in several places. This is necessary so that the batting does not shift during use.

Then the protruding edges of the batting are cut off, the rectangle around the perimeter is stitched with an overlock seam. After that, the parts of the cover are connected to each other using a decorative tape. First, it is sewn to large details (to the top, bottom of the future mattress), and then narrow parts are attached and sewn to it. At the request of the master, the cover is equipped with zippers that allow it to be removed 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;
- a hammer;
- stapler.

Instructions

Before you start doing mattress , determine what will be inside. If you need removable mattress, which can be folded and removed after use, choose a foam or synthetic winterizer base, and for a stationary 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 foldable mattress, make it from several parts, placing them across the bed. For a stationary bed, carve out a large mattress of one or two longitudinal parts... Cut the foam rubber together with an assistant, one of you should stretch the halves, and the other sharp knife cut exactly along the marked line.

Mark the pattern on the fabric, adding a thickness allowance on each side mattressand a few centimeters at 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 the cover for mattressa, first all the cross sections, then along the length, laying the corners across the side seams along such a width, what is the width of the foam rubber. Overlock or zigzag all seams. Slide the foam into the cover.

To do mattress from batting, padding polyester or other soft stuffing, start with a cover. Measure the size of the bed, consider the thickness when creating a pattern mattressa. Then sew a fabric cover of the required size, with an overlap or a zipper. Fill it carefully with padding, considering that it will nail down pretty quickly and become twice as thin. To prevent the stuffing from getting lost in a lump, 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. Arrange 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 large nails (50-60 mm) into 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 last along two diagonals. Lay a burlap or other dense fabric over the springs, then a layer of batting or synthetic winterizer, cover mattress upholstery fabric, securing 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 plastic 1x1 m, 5 cm thick
- 2 running meters fiberglass
- sheet steel 1.5 mm thick and welded
- three cans of paint
- two spray cans with primer
- 2 kg epoxy glue with hardener
- coarse sandpaper and very fine sandpaper
