How to sew a mattress - from choosing material to sewing. How to sew a cover for a foam mattress How to make a foam mattress yourself

It is inconvenient to sleep on the sofa all the time: even structures equipped with a “French folding bed” mechanism are inferior in comfort to beds with an orthopedic mattress. If, in addition to organizing a comfortable sleep, you need somewhere to seat guests, you cannot do without a piece of furniture with a backrest that can accommodate several people. Then it’s worth making something like a sofa out of the bed - making a soft headboard (backrest), sewing removable covers from suitable furniture fabric.

As you can see, both furniture products are in demand in everyday life; it is difficult to choose between them. It’s good if the size of the apartment allows you to add a sofa and bed, but what if not? In this case, you need to figure out how to sew a mattress for a sofa or make a soft backrest with a bed cover.

Fabric selection

The fabric should not only look stylish, but also be easy to wash. Quite often, even in fabric catalogs, only dry cleaning or dry cleaning is indicated as a method of cleaning textile material. However, as practice shows, this does not mean that washing is contraindicated.

To avoid sewing again, purchase a small piece of fabric you like and wash it in washing machine at a water temperature of 30°C (flocked fabric will not survive washing - it will peel off, don’t even try to use it).

Measure the cut before washing - further comparison will show whether shrinkage has occurred. Assess for discoloration, appearance or absence of lint. If the results of the experiments are positive, this piece of fabric will come in handy: you can use it to upholster a chair or make a cover for a sofa cushion.

• Since furniture fabric is not cheap, sew the invisible part of the cover from calico.
• Before cutting, the fabric should be washed, especially calico, which noticeably decreases in size. In addition, the calico must be ironed with steam.
• To determine the required amount of material, lay out the patterns on a checkered sheet. Don't forget to reserve material for shrinkage when cutting.

Mattresses are different

Annoying misunderstandings happen even in the home of perfectionists, so the sofa and bed need protection from dirt. If you don’t want to do anything, buy a sheet with an elastic band of a suitable size. She can handle minor stains quite well, but any spilled liquid is too much for her. Clean sleeping area It’s quite problematic; changing it every time is too expensive.

What to do? It is best to sew a cover yourself - a purchased one may not fit in size and will sit on your mattress like a “new thing from someone else’s shoulder.” After all, mattresses differ in size and shape of corners (rounded and straight), and covers differ in the way they are sewn.

The ideal cover fits the mattress tightly, protects it as much as possible from dirt and is easy to wash.

Good decision is to protect a sofa or bed with an additional thin mattress about 5 cm thick. It is easy to make it yourself from foam rubber (cheaper option), polyurethane foam, artificial or natural latex (more expensive option). Such a mattress can be washed in the bathroom or simply made a new one. Why? The cost of replacing it is much less than purchasing an orthopedic mattress or reupholstering a sofa.

Making a thin foam mattress

A sheet of foam rubber (density not lower than 25) can be easily cut with a sharp knife. Most often, a construction knife with replaceable blades is used for this operation. This is done like this:

1. The sheet of foam rubber is marked with a marker (felt-tip pen), and marks are placed.
2. By using wooden plank all marks are connected by a straight line.
3. Under the place of the future cut we place some unnecessary hard cloth (a scrap of board, a piece of thick cardboard, etc.).
4. Taking the knife strictly vertically, make the cut with leisurely, precise, strong movements.
5. We check the depth of the cut: we push the resulting hole apart with our fingers and cut the foam rubber to the bottom.

If there are a lot of burrs at the cut site, the tip of the blade (or the whole thing) should be replaced. Curvilinear cuts are made in the same way: a pattern is applied, markings are made on it, excess foam rubber is cut off with a vertically mounted knife, the resulting cut will not be ideal, but quite acceptable. If necessary, foam rubber can be easily glued together, the resulting seam will be strong and elastic.

Note! When heated, cyanogen-containing substances that are hazardous to health are released from foam rubber, which even in small doses affects the respiratory and nervous system. Therefore, hot cutting of this material at home is categorically unacceptable.

Cover for a thin mattress made of calico or satin

It is acceptable to use ready-made quilted fabric (the composition is more natural, containing cotton), used for making linings or sewing bedspreads. We begin work by taking dimensions: length, width and height. To avoid creating unnecessary seams, we take the fabric as a single piece. Remember that natural fabrics shrink noticeably; after washing, a piece 2 m long may shrink by 10 centimeters. Therefore, it is best to wash the fabric first.

Leave a 1.5 cm seam allowance. To cut the fabric evenly, we wrap the remainder over the main part and even out the edges. Holding it with your hand, slightly pull the fabric towards you with scissors and make a cut.

We fold the piece of fabric along the fold line, rounding the corners as on a mattress. We sew the cover around the perimeter using a sewing machine, using a zigzag or overlock to go around the edges.

On the shorter side we leave a hole for installing a zipper, a space at the edges of 20 to 30 cm. We iron the fabric in this place, and after preliminary basting we sew in a zipper using a machine.

There is almost no sliding of the fabric on the foam rubber, so carefully, without tugging, we pull the cover onto the mattress. We tighten the fabric, straighten the corners, then pick up the folds and tighten them again, after which we fasten the zipper.

Cover for a thin mattress made of upholstery fabric

To ensure that our fabric covering neatly covers the mattress on all sides, after marking the corners, we mark the auxiliary lines of the detailed pattern. Applying the pattern, we round the corners of the upper part, do the same with the corners of the lower part (hems) and draw a straight line at 45°, following through the intersection points of the lines indicating the height of the mattress.

Cover for orthopedic mattress made of furniture fabric

The side of the cover is essentially a long ribbon. If there is not enough fabric for it, sew it from several pieces. Make sure there are no seams on the visible front, or make the seams symmetrical.

2A+2B – no Exact size(the difference appears due to the presence of rounded corners), the side part will turn out to be longer, the excess is simply cut off. To calculate the length more strictly, you can measure the perimeter of the upper part.

We process the edges of the allowances with a zigzag (if the fabric frays), the seam allowances are folded onto the calico and stitched along the edge. It is sewn in front of the top, the sections are processed and stitched, just like the sides. Top part The cover is ready.

Baste and sew the sides. Fold the seam allowances down and stitch them off, making an indent of 2 mm. We sew a piece of calico to the side, immediately stitching the area previously left unsewn, and sew along the edge.

A double hem with a closed cut approximately 2 cm wide is made along the entire bottom edge, secured with a stitch, 2 to 3 cm is left unstitched for laying the elastic.

Making a foam mattress with your own hands is great idea for those who want to provide themselves with a comfortable sleeping place, but at the same time spend a minimum Money. Depending on the materials used, you can save up to 50% of the cost of the finished product.

Types of structures

Most often, cotton and foam mattresses are made at home. The advantage of the first of them is the naturalness of the materials, and the main advantages of the second are that foam rubber:

Flaws of this material– sensitivity to moisture, deformation (punching) during prolonged use.

Homemade mattresses come in two types:

1. Springless mattress. His optimal thickness is 10 cm. Such a product is extremely easy to manufacture: it is enough to cut out the previously prepared material, process its edges, cover it with fabric, and put on a cover.
2. Mattress with springs. This design is similar to a factory orthopedic mattress. The most beneficial for health are spring bases with independent springs, however, if such a construction could not be found, you can use the standard spring block. The manufacturing process consists of two stages. On the first of them, a box is assembled, acting as a base, and on the second, a filler is placed in the box. For the top and lower parts The boxes use foam rubber with a thickness of at least 5 cm, and for the side edges a material with a thickness of 3 cm is suitable.

When making any of these designs, the craftsman will need thick fabric for covering and strong threads.

Manufacturing a springless product

Let's try to figure out how to make a mattress with your own hands without using spring blocks. To work you will need:

• dense polyurethane that will support the structure on the sides (its thickness should vary from 5 to 10 cm);
• main filler (at least 14-15 cm thick);
• thick fabric for sewing a cover.

It is advisable to use a single piece of foam rubber of a suitable size as a filler. If you couldn’t find a sheet of the required dimensions, you can take several pieces of material and glue them together. To make a sleeping place with increased rigidity, it is recommended to purchase coconut coir and place it between layers of foam rubber. You can also make a structure with different rigidity of the sides, in which case coconut fiber is placed on one side of the filler, and polyurethane foam is placed on the other.

In addition to materials, the master will need tools, namely: sewing machine, sharp knife, scissors, tape measure. It is necessary to purchase a special glue with which the elements of the product will be connected. It is important that the glue is safe for health, does not emit toxins, and does not have unpleasant odors.

Step-by-step assembly begins with the manufacture of the frame. When it is ready, you need to measure the length and width of the free space inside it, and then adjust the piece of foam rubber to size and place it in the frame. It is recommended to cut the material using a sharp shoemaker's or stationery knife.

Then you should sew the cover. First, the mattress is measured, and after that two pieces of fabric are measured. When cutting fabric, it is important to leave reserves for the thickness of the side parts and seams. The seams should be left approximately 3 cm on each side. It is desirable that the cover is dense and fits onto the frame with some difficulty. In this case ready product will be quite elastic and durable (foam rubber will not “walk” inside the case).

It is better to sew a cover from natural fabrics; this will reduce the risk of developing allergies; in addition, it is much more pleasant to sleep on natural fabric. The threads used must be strong, since the durability of the product largely depends on them. The finished cover must be placed on the mattress and sewn up on the free side. This cover is non-removable, but if desired, you can make another, removable cover, equipped with zippers or buttons. The finished mattress needs to be placed on Fresh air(on the balcony or loggia) to ventilate unpleasant odors.

Assembling the structure with springs

Now let's take a step-by-step look at the manufacturing process of a product with springs. First of all, you need to cut out all the elements of the future product, and then put a layer of foam rubber on a horizontal surface, on top of it - a layer of felt, a spring base, another layer of felt and a layer of foam rubber. Felt is necessary so that the springs do not damage the foam. The sides of the structure are covered with foam inserts.

To connect all the elements with each other, a special glue is used; if necessary, it can be replaced with ordinary PVA. Some craftsmen use liquid nails, but in places where they are used, hard crust, which may crack during use of the product.

To make a cover you will need thick fabric and batting. From them you need to cut out parts of suitable sizes, and then sew the batting to the fabric, and stitch the resulting rectangle in several places. This is necessary to ensure that the batting does not move during use.

Then the protruding edges of the batting are trimmed, and the rectangle is stitched around the perimeter with a blanket stitch. After this, the parts of the cover are connected to each other using decorative braid. First, it is sewn to large parts (to the top, bottom of the future mattress), and then narrow parts are applied and sewn to it. At the request of the master, the cover is equipped with zippers, allowing it to be removed from the mattress for washing.

None of us can imagine how one can indulge in sleep and rest on bare ground or a hard wooden bed. Modern man accustomed to the fact that his body should lie on a soft base of one kind or another.

Most often we sleep on a mattress. Today we will reveal the secret of how you can make a mattress using various natural or artificial materials with your own hands.

If in the last century the basis of this product was mainly made up of various fillers of plant or animal origin, then in a modern mattress main component– spring. It is she who provides comfort and convenience.

What types of this wire element can you find in modern beds. Each manufacturer constantly strives to prove that it is their development that most fully takes into account the characteristics of the human form and allows the body to take the most advantageous position from the point of view of rest.

And there are more and more enterprises producing these products on the modern market. The most responsible of them really spend a lot of money on studying the operating features of springs various forms, select their optimal ratio per unit area, experiment with various artificial and natural fillers.

Making a mattress using natural materials

At the same time, one of the main negative aspects associated with limiting the consumption of new generation mattresses is their fairly high price. We present to your attention a budget option products that can be made with your own hands for a private home or cottage, using both traditional and not quite traditional, or materials forgotten over time.

We begin the process of making a mattress with a fabric base - a cover of a certain size, which we will subsequently stuff. To sew the shell you need to prepare enough durable fabric. Moreover, it can be as traditional white, as well as any other, since the operation of the mattress is often carried out using bed linen.

From the prepared fabric, make a pattern for the details of the future homemade product. It will consist of two completely identical rectangular parts, the dimensions of which will depend both on the dimensions of the people who will use the product and on the type of bed. Let us remind you that according to the width, modern stocks are divided into single, one-and-a-half and double. Based on this, cut out the upper and lower halves of the mattress. In addition to them, prepare one or more narrow strips, the width of which will determine the height of the product, and the total length should not be less than the perimeter (the sum of the lengths of the sides) of the rectangular parts.

The cut parts must be connected to each other. To do this, first grind them down with pins,

Baste and sew with high strength threads. It is best to first perform this operation manually, securely fixing the parts together to avoid their mutual displacement.

This is necessary to achieve High Quality work. A strong thread will help achieve maximum wear resistance of the joints of the fabric and the entire product as a whole. Of the most commonly used, it is recommended to use a linen seam for these purposes.

Don't try to put all the pieces together. Remember to leave one short side unstitched. You will need it to fill the mattress. It is best to make a neckline in this part that is closed with a zipper or buttons.

Traditionally, a mattress is designed to be as curvy as possible. To achieve this goal, we can recommend using a large list various materials. Remembering the fairy tale about the princess and the pea, try filling our product with down or feathers. Considering him required amount and the price of such materials, the cost of such a product will be many times higher than the cost of the most expensive factory product. Instead of poultry products, you can use other natural material– livestock product – sheep wool. It is also capable of retaining volume and has very high heat-retaining properties. Such a product can only be made for the cold winter period and if there is a sufficient amount of wool.

We suggest you pay attention to one, perhaps the cheapest, but at the same time not the worst material for stuffing a homemade mattress - hay. It consists of high-quality dried young herbs with an unforgettable natural aroma. And if you add 5-10% of dried mint, hop cones and other soothing plants to its composition, sleeping on such a product will bring you an unforgettable rest.

Selecting mattress filler

To stuff the cover, we recommend using a large piece of clean polyethylene film, on which we lay the future mattress and gradually compact the dried herbs into it. Using straw or mature grass for these purposes is not advisable, as hard stems can ruin the overall feeling of relaxation.

It is better to carry out work on filling the mattress while wearing work gloves and clothing with long buttoned sleeves. Otherwise there is no avoiding minor scratches, appearing in large numbers on your hands.

If there are agricultural processing enterprises in the immediate vicinity of your location, you can fill the mattress, for example, with buckwheat husks or other similar material.

Instead of natural filler, you can use products chemical production in the form of a recently introduced wool substitute - padding polyester. It is light, soft and non-allergenic.

After completing the steps listed above, you will become the owner of a unique product that will give you an unforgettable vacation and arouse the interest of your acquaintances and friends.

Arrangement of a sleeping place does not necessarily require the purchase of a new bed. You can make a mattress with your own hands from available and fairly cheap materials, equipping wooden frame new soft element.

How to make a foam mattress?

Polyurethane foam (foam rubber) is a modern and time-tested material for padding upholstered furniture. It is easy to make and sofa cushions, and a simple mattress for a night's rest. The main work is to correctly connect several layers with different densities or select a single thick plate of the required rigidity. It depends on the requirements for the sleeping place.

How to choose the right foam rubber, given its density?

Selecting density looks difficult only for a beginner. You can determine the density of foam rubber by its markings. There are only 6 types of material used for the manufacture of bedding and furniture padding:

1. HS is soft and is sometimes used for the top layer of furniture cushions or mattresses. Not suitable for making stuffing separately.
2. ST - standard, can withstand loads of up to 25 kg, used for children's furniture or as the previous one. To make mattresses only from it, you should choose the maximum density (35 kg/m³). But this material is only suitable for a teenager or an adult weighing up to 85 kg. Its wear resistance is low, the filler lasts for 5 years.
3. EL - increased rigidity. Compared to the previous one, it has greater rigidity with the same density. Suitable for people weighing up to 100 kg, if you take a density of at least 28-30 kg/m³. With a higher density, it may be suitable for those who are fuller, but it is better to prefer other brands.
4. HL - a density of more than 40 kg/m³ allows you to make springless mattresses and sofa cushions with your own hands only from this material. It is suitable for people weighing more than 100 kg, but may be uncomfortable for people with less weight (the bed is too hard). When used as a base and covered with soft stamps, it allows you to make a comfortable sleeping place. It can be used for up to 10 years without signs of destruction. The main disadvantage is the high price.
5. HR is highly elastic, has good load-bearing capacity, and is comfortable for people of any weight, depending on the density of the material. For an average adult (about 100 kg), choose the 55 kg/m³ marking. This mattress can last 15 years.
6. VE is a viscoelastic, innovative material with a body shape memory effect. Anatomical mattresses are not always comfortable, so before choosing, it is better to evaluate the quality of the product by lying on it. To assemble polyurethane sleep accessories, a density of 50 kg/m³ is used.

To determine required material according to its marking, you need to read 2 Latin letters at the beginning of the code (marking according to the listed properties). Density is indicated by the first 2 digits after the letter code. The last 2 digits are the hardness.

Preparation of materials and tools

Before working on making a mattress for a bed, you need to prepare the following:

• polyurethane foam of increased rigidity (HL, EL) for the frame;
• fillers from brands of polyurethane foam suitable for the owner’s build;
• tape measure, long ruler and marker;
• sharp knife;
• glue for foam rubber;
• fabric for the cover (jacquard, bamboo, etc.);
• zipper for the case;
• sewing machine, thread, scissors.

Calculation of materials is carried out according to measurements taken from inside bed box. Rigid polyurethane foam for the frame is placed only around the perimeter of the product, so its quantity is calculated according to total length all sides and the height of the future product. The thickness of this material is optimal within 5 cm. The filler plates are selected according to the person’s weight; the thickness can be any (if there are no thick plates, several thin ones are glued together until the mattress reaches the desired thickness).

With a layered structure, you can additionally use latexed coconut fiber or stiffer brands of foam rubber if you need a dense and elastic mattress. When using thick, rigid, high-density materials, it is possible to manufacture a frameless product from 1-2 layers of polyurethane foam.

Execution technology

The cutting and assembly of the product is carried out using the following technology:

1. Cut the strips for the frame and glue them together, forming the outline of a rectangle.
2. To fill a foam mattress, cut out the main layers, measuring the distances between the walls of the frame. If not solid slabs the right size, the layer can be assembled from individual bars. In this case, it is imperative to make only the bottom layer—the base—solid. Cutting is carried out according to the measurements taken, cutting through the elastic material with a stationery or breadboard knife. Cut thick slabs in several steps, gradually deepening the cut.
3. Place the base part in the frame shell and glue it to it along the perimeter.
4. Make inner layers from solid or composite slabs, filling the frame to the top cut. If desired upper layer make it from a soft material, about 5 cm thick, or from latex coconut fiber (hard foam mattress). When laying, all parts are glued to each other and to the frame shell.

After assembly, dry the product according to the instructions for the adhesive.

Sewing a cover

The cover is a non-removable part. After stretching it onto the glued mattress foam, the open seams are sewn up. The cover serves for additional strength of the product and tightens all parts, giving the mattress its shape. You can sew a mattress cover with your own hands from any upholstery fabric. There are special quilted materials with a thin layer of padding polyester or batting.

Cutting is carried out in accordance with the length, height and width measurements taken from the foam filling. Allowances are made only on the seams: the cover should fit tightly onto the padding, without gaps or folds. Often, tape is passed along the seams so that they do not stretch during use and the product does not become deformed.

Sew the top and bottom panels to the side strip, leaving an open seam for stretching over the foam part. Wrinkling the elastic material, cover it with fabric covering and straighten the surfaces and edges. It is more convenient to carry out this work with an assistant. Sew open seams with hidden stitches.

How to make a mattress pad?

The technology for manufacturing a removable cover is similar to that shown for a non-removable one. The difference is the clasp, which makes it easy to remove the shell for washing. Measurements are taken for the height, width and length of the mattress. To make a fastener, you need a long zipper (or 2 short ones). You can sew it into the seam, but more often they make additional parts for the side surface:

• determine the middle of each short side of the upper part and mark it on the side;
• determine midline the sidewall itself (along the height of the product) and connect the points through 1 long side of the mattress;
• cut out 3 parts for the side of the mattress cover: 1 solid, wide for the entire height of the mattress, and 2 narrow, equal to ½ the height.

The length of each sidewall part is equal to ½ the perimeter of the mattress. When cutting out narrow parts, make additional hem allowances when sewing in a zipper (1 cm). Sew the mattress cover in the following order:

1. Stitch the short edges of the strips for the side panel. Half of it will be solid, and the second will be made of 2 narrow parallel strips.
2. Sew in a zipper, connecting the edges of 2 narrow parts.
3. Sew the top and bottom pieces to the side. The zipper is located from the middle of one short side to the other, capturing 2 corners of the product.
4. Unscrew through the unzipped zipper. Place the finished mattress cover on the mattress, straighten the corners and edges, and fasten the zipper.

How to make a mattress smaller at home?

If the mattress is slightly larger than the bed frame, it can be made smaller. The easiest way to do this is with a foam rubber product. To shrink a foam mattress with your own hands, rip out the seam on the side that protrudes beyond the box. Use a sharp cutter to cut off part of the filler and repair the seams manually.

If the filler has a complex structure (with a frame), then the shell made of dense polyurethane foam must be preserved, cutting off the excess from indoor unit. Then cut off the excess length on the shell and glue all the parts together.

If there are spring blocks inside the purchased mattress, you will have to rip out the seams and carefully peel back the inner coverings. Disconnect 1 spring block, cut off the excess parts to fit the remaining product and restore the seams.

How to make a mattress harder or softer?

If sleeping on a purchased mattress does not bring relaxation, the reason may be the incorrect hardness of the filler. You can increase it using a plate of latex coir or a thin layer of high-density foam rubber. Reduce using a soft layer of the required thickness. It is not recommended to make an additional cover thicker than 10 cm. After installing the additional layer, you will need to adjust the height of the cover. To do this, replace the side part, cutting out a wider strip. They attach it instead of the former one and fit the modified product.

How to make an orthopedic mattress?

To make an orthopedic mattress with your own hands, you will need a ready-made spring block. Its dimensions should be 3-5 cm smaller than the box around the perimeter. Assembly is made from 2 solid plates of the top and bottom, several sidewall parts (the width is equal to the total height of the product) and spring blocks in the middle of the frame made of soft materials. To protect the foam from springs, 2 additional layers of batting or felt are needed.

A polyurethane foam base is placed on the floor, covered with a layer of batting and a spring block is placed, aligned with all edges. Sidewall strips are glued to the edges, connecting along the perimeter. Cover the springs with batting and place the top foam layer with applied glue. Dry and cover with cloth.

DIY pillow mattress

For a child, you can make a mattress from pillows. For the cover, several pillowcases are connected (depending on the size of the product). You need to place a finished pillow in each of them. If desired, you can cut squares of the appropriate size from polyurethane foam with low rigidity.

what you dream about: a mattress made of natural fabric, with natural filler, and, apparently, with a cover for easy washing. not spring, not “orthopedic”, but the most ordinary one - a la the old Soviet one with stripes - sleeping on the floor. I just need the right size and, naturally, a little thicker.

What’s not to like about “there’s such a choice everywhere right now!”:
1. “I don’t believe” in synthetics and all these fashionable fillers like “very breathable” foam-poly-ultra-propylene-cellophane, coconut flakes and other heresy.
2. the mattress must be the “original” size: if you are 185 cm tall, according to preliminary estimates, the length of the mattress should be at least 220-240 cm, so that you can sleep comfortably on your stomach, and so that the pillow does not fall off. In the same old Ikea, floor mattresses are 200 cm maximum. This is only suitable for not very tall girls, 160-170cm tall. Well, again, I don’t need a monster like 240x240 either - I want to sleep on it, not play football.

In summary, what seems to me at the preliminary investigation stage:
a cloth I don't think it's that hard to find a suitable one. It’s obvious that you still need 100% cotton of decent density (and it’s possible that you also need... what do you call it - like a “napkin” or... so that the fibers from the cotton wool don’t get through the cotton, in short). - sew? and what is special to sew there - top, bottom - two rectangles with slightly rounded edges. and plus "sides". Well, it’s obvious that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to put a thin, longer zipper in the “side” (by the way, where can you buy a really long, fairly thin one, and so that it’s good quality- didn’t it fall apart right there?) - so that it would be possible to access the filler just in case of fire. Well, you also need a “cover”, which will be on top - so that it can be periodically removed and in washing machine wash. The cover can also be with a zipper, or perhaps with buttons...

filler This is where I’m not really into the subject yet; Well, apparently, it’s still the same cotton wool, or cotton with... wool? In theory, there must be offices somewhere that sell such nonsense (by weight?).

Well main question : how to fill it so that it looks like the real thing??? complexities and subtleties are quite possible here, but I still believe that this too can be done... well, plus, again, these are the kind of end-to-end “firmware” that were used all my life on memorable mattresses from the times of the USSR - so that it’s all there it “stood” better and didn’t move too much from the center to the edges.

so these are the pies. Does anyone have any experience or some useful tips, considerations, cautions, etc.? well, in principle, you can even express doubts, like “do you know, good man, what’s the deal with this cotton wool, the stuffing process and everything else?!”...
