"Repaired the mattress for relatives" - Saved them 10 thousand

Background

The niece's mattress broke, the parents looked and decided it was not repairable. We chose a new sofa for 12 tons, and a friend promised to borrow money for a year. But when they had already ordered, it turned out that the loan was a bummer, since the funds were in a savings account. In general, nerves, panic and cancellation of the order.

Mattress repair

Once he was engaged in such work, offered help to his relatives, figured that the material would cost 2 tons, and so it happened. The base on the frame was made of fiberboard, I decided to replace it with 10 mm plywood. Cut out and installed on the frame.

The work of removing the fiberboard took more time, it was nailed down with staples, and suffered with the restoration of the springs. They would have been replaced, as I had done before, but the stock ran out and there was nowhere to take. Found a solution.

I made a spiral of wire, put it in place of the break, folded the broken edges of the spring with an overlap and twisted it with pliers. I regretted that there were no copper pipes at hand, such fasteners are easier to make.

Assembly

The section of springs was fixed on the plywood by the press offices, it remains to lay the foam rubber along the edges (for the form) and on top of the dense fabric that lies on top of the section.

It remains to pull on a new fabric (350 r. per meter) and secure with a stapler. When I finished, I realized from the smiles of my relatives that they liked the result.

The photo was sent to my niece to study, she thanked her happily, and this was the best pay for my work.
