Hi There,
I thought I would pass on my money saving tip!I have been looking for some foam for a while to make a padded seat for the top of a monks bench,the foam I saw was very expensive,so whilst browsing in a charity shop,I spotted a cot mattress in very good condition,which I purchased for €3.00 & they threw in the cot pillow!So I measured the top of the blanket box & drew the outline in pencil on the mattress & cut through it with my electric knife,worked a treat.Will post pictures when project is completed!
