Light Weight Mattresses

In the olden days most of our mattresses were made from cotton fibre (kapok) or coconut fibre. And they were really heavy. Every family would dry them in the sun on good sunny days, and especially before Chinese New Year. some families dried the mattresses very often, but the most important time to dry the mattresses was before Chinese New Year.

Most of the families could not afford the Dunlop mattresses when they came into the market. Many students who boarded in school hostels slept on plain wooden plants without mattresses.

Then came the new product of light foam mattresses. These light foam mattresses are so light they can even be blown away by a strong wind.

with the coming of light foam mattresses, most families can afford to buy a few. They are usually stacked up against a wall when not needed.
