Please explain why the bottom of my box spring is covered by something that resembles tissue paper. I would like to know why you cover planks of wood and some sort of stuffing with something that can be torn open so easily.
I have a problem. I got a new kitten two weeks ago. He's really cute. Just see for yourself.

He enjoys lots of things we enjoy. Whether it's a nice nap, or some good old fashioned television.


But this? Not so fun. You're wondering where he is, aren't you? Look closer. Here is another shot. He got his {not so little} friend in on the fun.

I'll bet you're catching on now. You mattress people are so smart.
My cat managed to tear this "material" that you chose to cover the bottom half of a box spring, and has been hanging out in there. Now I don't know about you, but I don't want my cat hanging out in my box spring. All that unfinished wood, stuffing, and springs. Not safe.
So today, I was forced to check out this little mess.

Now imagine how embarrassing it would be to have to move this from one location to another. Looks pretty trashy. Don't you think?
Well, I had to improvise, because I could not leave it like this. And I'm pretty certain that what I did made the box spring even trashier than the image above. Prepare yourselves.

Yes, that's an old white tank top turned rag, and below, I stapled an envelope to cover a little hole. Do I get any points for using an old Ralph Lauren tank?
Imagine what I could have done if I only had some duct tape.
So. Mattress people. You may want to reconsider covering your box springs with something a bit more sturdy.
Give it some thought. I'm off to relax on my trashy mattress.
Thank you,
Danielle
