    Guess what, I have a mattress leaning against the wall in my small back bedroom because I decided I didn't need a bed in there but didn't want to get rid of the good mattress and box springs. I have it covered with one of my quilts.

    I'm going to take it down and use it for a BOM project.

    Great Idea!

When the kids come I just take off the mattress pad, my designs are saved, and they no longer have to sleep on the couch.
    What a great idea!! I wish I would have thought of that.

    My daughter and her husband moved in with us a month ago and I didn't know what to do with the extra bed in that room so this was our solution. My younger daughter loves it and is bummed that they are moving out soon and she will have to "come back to earth". :-P

    What a great idea. A dual purpose mattress. Good thinking on your part.

    when you store a mattress ]be sure and put a mattress pad on the back (bottom)too. It keeps the bare mattress from touching the floor or walls.
