Here’s a cool mattress spring shoes you can make by demolishing your old mattress.

When Leif moved to Oregon last year, he left behind an old mattress. Mattresses fall into the same category as modems and microwaves: You only need ONE.

The mattress was too big to fit into our garbage bin, and I didn’t have any friends with a truck, so it stuck around for a few months before Mike figured out a way to get rid of it.

We got bolt cutters.

Do you know the etymology behind the word mattress? Well, according to this it’s:

mattress
c.1290, from O.Fr. materas, from It. materasso, from M.L. matracium, borrowed in Sicily from Ar. al-matrah “the cushion” (cf. Sp. almadraque “mattress”), lit. “the thing thrown down,” from taraha “he threw (down).”

The Hebrew Language Detective defines it even further.

FabricTech is a manufacturer of allergy-safe mattress and other sleep products. They use patented technology such as OmniGuard® fabric and MiteTight® for protection against allergen and dust mites.

Lots of interesting stuff at the Deviant Art community…and here is one:

The artist, hojax, wrote:

I named it ‘dear diary’ because it mostly focuses on Harems and how women in them have to put up with being sex slaves. i wanted to rip up the mattress and write a sort of confessional diary under the surface to portray how the women keep their pain inside and the black ink parts on the surface around the swirled hot glue represent sin and darkness taking over the souls of the women. its a travesty, but these women feel like its their duty to please their husbands.

Putting two twin beds together is convenient, thanks to this mattress accessory from Stack and Stack.

Create a luxurious king size bed with the Create-A-King. Just slide two mattresses together, place the soft poly sheepskin along the middle, adjust the belt to fit the length of the mattresses, and tighten! You will instantly have the size and comfort of a king size bed made out of your existing twin mattresses. Easy to use and machine washable! Adjustable snap-shut belting assures mattresses will never separate during the night.

The product may be cared for by machine washing and fits mattresses which are at least 80″ long.

Isoform® Mattress makes use of viscoelastic foam which is safe and allergen free. Because it is made of such materials, the mattress molds into your body as you sleep.

It is a breathable mattress, one that allows air to circulate and affords you a cooler and more comfortable sleep, compared to some foam mattress.

100% made in America, so it follows strict standards.

More than that the mattress comes in its patented Coolmax® fabric cover to protect the surface. The coolmax fabric also absorbs body perspiration quickly, thereby keeping you cool all through out the night.

So how cute is this one, huh? It’s a portable bed, so lightweight to carry around; with removable cushions that snuggles the infant comfortable and may be easy to wash after. Best of all, the mattress is waterproof. Its perfect for newborn infants and up to 6 months old.

At first glance I would not know if there is a mattress size that could fit into this one, but you have to agree that the design and style of the bed is well-sculpted and thought of. German designer Max Longin designed this “based on the idea of the central point of rest to which everything leads in a pliable and soft way”.

The bed frame may be dismantled and stored easily. And if you follow the FAQ section at Max Longin’s site, you will learn more about this product. And here’s what it has to say about mattress sizes:

Now this here is literally a platform bed frame.

The LAX headboard from Mash Studios is a sleek wall-mounted box, with shelves inside and sliding, powder-coated aluminum doors. The LAX platform bed has the same clean, unfussy lines as the headboard it coordinates with, and will fit up to a queen-size mattress.

I literally had my jaw dropping when I saw this bed’s photo. Ain’t she absolutely gorgeous?

Designer Andy Ramsgard created this beauty by combining stainless steel and stained glass. The full effect of the bed frame may be seen when the bed is placed against a window. And you can see it shine in different colors.
