I admit to being an avid DIYer, to the point where it really is a fault. I see something and automatically start thinking about how I could make it myself, or make it better. Despite my extreme approach, tackling a whole mattress had never crossed my mind before stumbling upon Open Your Eyes Bedding. Now that I’ve seen their beautiful products, I can’t shake the idea.
Open Your Eyes sells kits to make all-natural mattresses. Each mattress is composed of a series of fabric pods that are filled with buckwheat hulls and then twisted together to create a continuous surface. They have kits that require different levels of involvement, from sewing the pods yourself, to simply filling and twisting them. The result is so beautiful, I can’t imagine covering the mattress with bedding. I’d love to try one of these out and see what it would feel like to sleep on, and can imagine making a series of smaller cushions to stack in a living room space for extra seating.

As a fellow DIY-er, I couldn’t resist the title even though “mattress” made me immediately think that this is a project that would overwhelm me. Nonetheless, I clicked and read and now I am seriously exploring this. The photos are so majestic–I could just see myself stealing a lazy afternoon nap on the mattress. Thx for sharing!
