Ours were, and still are, padded with reused textiles--old spreads, tablecloths, drapes, etc. and covered with worn cotton sheets. Mom used huge safety pins to hold the top cover snug yet easily removable for laundering. Not one of us would have ever imagined purchasing new goods to pad or cover a board. Old days, old ways.)
