You really won’t believe how easy it is to replace your own Hide-a-Bed mattress either for your home or your camping trailer. Best of all…there’s no sewing involved. We’ve all slept on a sofa bed with a truly terrible mattress, and now you can replace your own in just a few minutes. Be sure you purchase our CUSHION foam and NOT our craft foam for this project to be successful.

What you need to make this project

Materials: 2-3 rolls Soft Support Foam 72″ x 24″ x 5″ thick; 1 roll Gorilla duct tape

Instructions

Step One

The previous sofa bed mattress in this camper had been completely chewed by the previous family dog and was in really bad shape. There was really no saving it. Besides needing the sleeping space, the sofa needed the mattress in place to fill it out for sitting on.

We talked about several ways of holding the pieces of foam together, but ultimately decided to try duct tape.

You want to make sure to get the super strong gorilla-style duct tape, so it will really hold well, but my friend just put the sheet over it and it works great.
