bunk bed cushions

[dirtking]

I know the discussion has be brought up before (I have read every post related to this) but where did you guys get your mattresses, cushions, bunk bed mats from - I just built four bunks and have to get cushions on them before the big deer opener. FMers previously threw out a lot of stores / places ect. To get them, but are you happy - are they holding up - did you find sheets to fit them, ect Right now I am leaning on getting them at fishhousesupply in Buffalo – just don’t want to drop the $ 360 and wish I got something else.

thanks

I got mine at Fishhouse supply. It was the easiest and best price I found.

I saw 4" foam sheets in the camping section of Sportsmans Warehouse this past weekend. I think they were about $40 - $50 for 4 x 8 pieces. You might be able to make something up with those for cheaper. Good Luck. Think cold.

I stopped in on a local mattress manufacturer and took a pile of their cutoffs for free. I used spray adhesive to attach them to 1/4 ply cut to fit the bunk, then wrapped them with upholstry fabric from the clearance bin at JoAnn Fabrics and stapled it to the plywood. They're not fancy, but they're comfortable and the cost was minimal (less than $50). My brother in law used old couch cushions and did the same thing.

I got mine from ProFish. Not sure if they quoted me the wrong price, but I paid $200 for 4 dinnet cusions.

Oh, and if you are looking for just a mattress, I think they run ~$85 at FishHouse supply. Not sure what Profish price is.

What's up GPC, dont know if this will help but my uncle just took some foam and had my grandma sew some cammo fabric as the sheets. Dont know where he got the foam though. They have been in use for 4 years and still look new.

I paid $60 for my 30X72 mattress from Sunrise Mattress in Wyoming near Hullburg marine. That was 2 years ago. It's very comfy and is well made. It's not a cheaply made mattress at all.

I had mine custom made because I wanted longer ones than the standard 72" you see at most places, I got 75". Since they're so narrow (24"), I didnt want to be crowded. My camper has 27"x75" and I think those are ideal. I also had custom covers made from a material called Twill that wears great kind of like a demin but its softer to the touch. Then I just throw a sleeping bag on top. Mattress were high density Linux 4" foam and the same price as Fishhouse Supply; covers extra.

I recently helped a friend make new seats in his pontoon. We used foam from Rochford Supplies in Minneapolis. the foam is $29.98 for a 4" X 24" X 72" peice of foam. You could use a variety of material to cover it with. Just use a spray addhesive and glue the foam to a sheet of plywood. Whip out your staple gun and staple the fabric on the otherside of the plywood. Before you know it you will have a great bed a fraction of the price. If you want to go all out they even have memory foam!!...

Good luck and I hope this helps

Brian:

Looks like a great supply outlet and excellent prices as well on foam and marine carpet I noticed.

Should help out anyone looking to do up some DIY bunks or benches. Staple gun and some adhesive is all you need.And maybe a quick course (101)from the wife on how to tuck/fold the corners

I stapled some 3" foam cushions over some 4' stools so when you want to stretch out and look over the holes easy there is a cheap option. Garage sale freebies I quick painted for $3.

I got mine from Fish House Supply 2 years ago and they are still holding up great!

I ended up getting the mattresses from fishhousesupply - The owner was very nice and the mattresses look really nice - I did call sunset and the price was going to very comparable but time was an issue as I needed them for deer hunting this weekend - thanks for all the advise
