REBUILDING MATTRESS.
from Mrs. r. M. NJ, Washington.) J
would like to thank Mrs. c. c.,
Washington; Mrs. r. C. c., Airing
ton, and Mrs. T. Mc-H., Takoma
Park, for their advice concerning an
innerspring mattress for rollaway
bed. They we're so reassuring as to
the success with which these mat
tresses may be used in this type of
bed that I expect to buy one very
soon.
Now, to the reader who requested
information regarding having a
mattress rebuilt, would like to tell
her my experience About 18 months
ago had an innerspring mattress
for a double bed rebuilt. AS the
cover was in good condition 1t was
used again. The cost was about
half of that of a new mattress. The
results have been very satisfactory.
The mattress was 10 years old at
the time and was considerably fiat
tened, just how much I didn't realize
until I saw a thick, soft mattress
being carried from the truck. II
possible make some sleeping ar
rangements for a few days as sleep
ing on box springs Is not recon-
mended!
