Default recycled cot mattress

My kids saw the beds in build a bear and wanted them for their bears. They cost €20 each. So i put my thinking cap on and came up with these, made from a cot mattress, old fleece blanket and odd bits of fabric. The red one folds up so it can become a chair. The pink one doesn't fold. I was very happy with the end result and the kids said they were better than the ones from the shop. :)

Brilliant idea. My daughters teddies sleep in shoe boxes but I might upgrade them to nice soft beds like yours!!
Thanks for the idea.

Brilliant job!!
Can't believe they have the audacity to charge €20 for things like that.
