This is an amazing project that is the highlight of our backyard! A friend helped me with the construction and I did all of the fabrics. We used pressure treated lumber then stained it and polyurethaned the project. I used a twin sized blow up mattress which works great and is very easy to move. It does loose air but the one I got has a built in pump so you only have to push a button and it's totally inflated again. All of the fabrics that I used are outdoor fabric. Instead of buying pillow forms, I purchased euro pillows on sale at Kohl's and then had a 30% coupon so they cost about $7 each - big difference from the standard pillow form! I put zippers in all of the pillows so the covers can be taken off easily to clean or change the decor. Thanks so much Ana for making this project possible!

I like that you've used an air mattress - what a great idea! It looks so substantial - makes me want to crawl in there and take a nap!

What a beautiful build and the use of fabric is fab! You have awesome sewing skills. Wish I could sew like that!
