Have you seen the pillow mattresses floating around the blogosphere? They are a great resting spot for a lazy afternoon reading or watching a movie. If you're interested in making one, we found a great tutorial.
Kendra of Southern Disposition made hers from IKEA products which cost her less than $15. She bought 4 pillows at $.99 each(!) and a lovely twin duvet cover for $9.99. A little bit of sewing and you've got a terrific looking pillow mattress that can easily be washed. Interested in making one of your own? Run over to Southern Disposition for step-by-step instructions.

Very clever and well done!
I wish they still had that duvet :( :( :(
Very cute! I may have to try that out. I wonder if it's comfortable enough for an adult to sleep on...

So awesome!
My concern - as it always is with 2 little ones and a dog - is how to wash it. I made one with 4 pillows, 4 pillow cases, sewed them together and closed the ends of the cases with velcro.
We also take ours to grandma's house, sometimes it's a full house and the kids sleep on the floor. It's perfect!
I went to Ikea today to buy all the supplies. Sadly couldn't find a $9.99 duvet, so had to settle for a $19.99 one. Still cheap, but not as. :( My 4-yr-old is obsessed with the idea of sleeping bags and camping.
J-Letz, if you look at the tutorial, this design creates individual pockets for the pillows with flaps so that the pillows can be removed for washing.
Oh - and southerndisposition: what a cute blog! You are hilarious!
