The staples are too long because it's 1/4 inch plywood. It pokes through the cover on the top. I pulled them all out and will have to think on this one a while.
I sewed around the edges and ran elastic thru both the padding & the cover. Then I took the elastic straps you can buy for your board or bed that have clips on each end. I made my own elastic for them custom length; easy to take on and off when needed.
