When I was a kid that's how we got mattresses. We would buy remade mattresses where they'd cut all the fabric and fluff out to the point where it was just wires and coils.
And then they would restuff it and sew new fabric over the springs. So you'd have a brand new bed, but the coils of it were old and reused.
They sold them often in thrift stores, but they were brand new mattresses, on used coils that were in good condition.
My ex husband even had a job for a minute, cutting mattress fluff off of the wires and coils as the first step that the crew could remake? refurbish? the mattress.
What is that called? Search engines these days are so unhelpful.
I really need a new mattress but I can't afford a brand new one. And I am terrified of bedbugs, so I really, really don't want some stranger's hand me downs.
I don't think it's called refurbished, because that seems like from searches that the fluff inside is reused. What I'm talking about is where the entire bed is gutted except for the metal parts, and then remade with new fabric and fluff over the old metal parts.
But I remember as a kid we'd buy used mattresses that were actually brand new. But the only part that was used was the spring part. The fabric and fluff was all brand new.
do you know what I"m talking about? What is that product called? Where does one buy them? I don't really see them around anymore. But my bed springs cut me all the time. I need a new bed so bad.
