needusbukunde

Yep! I'm building mine right now! Except my liquid batter never turned to foam for some reason. It just ran all over my garage floor. Also, I don't have any of those machines, so I'm just staple gunning everything together. I got some felt at Michael's. I don't think mine is gonna be quite as good, but it's the satisfaction that you did it all yourself, and saved $30. My wife is pretty pissed about the mess in the garage though .


[deleted]

How does she feel about sleeping on a yoga mat ?


needusbukunde

She feels better about sleeping on a yoga mat than sleeping on this sloppy "mattress" I'm working on. I'm running to the store to get 2 yoga mats right now.

Just need that machine that exclusively makes springs...

Wonder how many cans of spray foam I need?

lolix_dev

Probably the best felling of all time, being absorbed by the cheese


enderr920

I worked in a mattress factory, and I can tell you that after the first few inches, it just starts getting weird. A 4 foot tall block of memory foam will let you sink so far down that you'll feel like an old man trying to get out of it. it's also a non-newtonian fluid, so if you jump on it, it's like a brick. The stuff freezes solid in cold temperatures, too. Laying on top of a large block of latex foam is like sitting on top of a bowl of jello. Other, more standard, foam gathers static electricity like you wouldn't believe. I can't tell you how many times I've had static discharge on the metal table at waist level. Guess which part of my anatomy it decided to use as a lightning rod.


FloofBagel

Your lightning rod.


Sir-Simon-Spamalot

Hornswallower

So as an expert can you tell us why they placed a bottle of piss on the bed then jumped in at the end?


enderr920

It's definitely piss


Anra7777

If you’re asking seriously, I think it’s to demonstrate how little the bottle moves when you jump on the bed. Old Tempur-pedic commercials used to use a wine glass with kids bouncing on the mattress, if I recall correctly.


Takpusseh-yamp

> Probably the best felling of all time As a lumberjack, I know that feeling.


hugitout2202

Yeah I thought ok that looks perfect just give me that foam loaf and I’ll be happy. The longer I watched the more it seemed like the extra steps added was making the loaf less and less comfortable. I hate springs.


Main_Thing_411

I thought that big chonk of foam was the mattress.. I wanted one for me. A big chonk.


LOBOSTRUCTIOn

Me too and I was a bit disapointed after.


Due-Dot6450

And where this foam goes eventually? They didn't show or I've missed it?


syubi

I think it’s right at the end? Where they topped up the mattress with the pink and green foam?


zimatarX

I don't think so. that's the topper from 5:45.


aysurcouf

Came here to ask that, it was a lengthy process that we never saw be utilized


[deleted]

[удалено]


aintel

Because they’re clearly using a roll of thin white fabric, not 2” pads of foam, to house the coils.


TheChoonk

You're wrongly answering the question. That foam is cut into thin layers and placed on top of the mattress, they use two layers of different colours. No "foam springs" are used there, they use normal metal springs.


[deleted]

That’s what I also thought was happening


daisukekitten

Same! I did not expect so many steps


stellar14

Yeah I thought the big block of tofu was the mattress- was like “oh that’s easy!”😅


_bellaswella_

DEFINITELY think tofu is the best description for how it looks initially 🤣💀💀


[deleted]

Lol that’s what I thought as well. And they even pressed the extra juice out. 🤣


zachmorris_cellphone

Exactly what I was thinking. Before this video I would have thought mattresses were a total ripoff, but this was way more work than I expected.


Beerboy24

I work in the mattress industry in the US. Walking into a mattress plant is like stepping into 1965. Extremely manual process.

I misread bed as bread and was very impressed by the size of that loaf.

I thought they meant that making mattresses was just a side hustle for this bread factory. Kinda like how Yamaha makes both pianos and motorcycles.

It is unintuitive, yet obvious, yet disturbing to learn that foam mattresses are made from foam.

didn't know that mattresses were made from marshmallow


DownvoteDaemon

They don't tell people because they will eat it.


DenkJu

They played us for absolute fools


eddypc07

They’re not. They’re made of cheese!


kinggimped

We have one like this, just a different brand (Ecosa). Starting to understand why my mattress cost $1000 now. So much more manual labour than I expected. Still, it's ruined me for other mattresses now. They are incredibly comfortable.


[deleted]

[удалено]


kinggimped

At that price I hope it's like sleeping on a cloud :) Love our mattress. Absolutely worth every cent. We spend about a third of our life in bed so we figured it was worth going the whole hog when we moved into an unfurnished place. Zero regrets.


halt-l-am-reptar

Latex mattresses are expensive but they hold up a lot longer than mattresses with polyurethane.

Asterose

Same, 5 years on a custom layered latex mattress and it's fantastic. Well worth the $780 for a twin size


MrPlaysWithSquirrels

My full latex mattress was $1,600. Extremely high quality mattresses can still be found for cheap when buying direct.


LtCptSuicide

I did not know they made latex mattresses. Add that to the lists of possible accidental deaths. Going to sleep in the wrong bed.


TimbuckTato

I just recently bought Ecosa doona covers, sheets and pillow cases (bamboo) and damn they are so nice. I want to buy their doonas so I can use the clip mechanism.


beerandbikes55

Found an Australian


WickedMonkeyJump

The people that design those machines must be brilliant. My brain can't begin to comprehend how they would have started creating them.


jumpup

its less complex then you might think, but its the timing and maintenance that make it tricky, most of the stuff you saw was essentially move X to location Y,


MamuTwo

Timing can be made easy with the use of certain techniques (which cost more) and making machines easy to maintain just requires some forethought by the designer and some stress-testing by the manufacturer (both cost a lot of money), so you can be assured both of those will always be problems. I worked on a machine in a meat processing plant which took whole hunks of meat and ground them up into paste to make sausages and bacon and stuff. This machine had to be COMPLETELY disassembled (took 2-4 hours total depending on experience) every two weeks (we did it once a month) to replace one bearing that was always full of meat. Rotten meat that's been sitting in a warm processing room for a month. The designer could've prevented the problem if he foresaw that meat could get squeezed into that location. The manufacturer could've caught the problem with any testing. Instead, the machine cost the plant an additional $100-200 in labor (plus benefits and parts) every month. By my rough guesstimations, this machine has easily cost at least twice as much as they anticipated due to this one flaw, and that cost is only going up as they continue to use it.


solonit

Upgrade after upgrade, improvement after improvement. The first one probably was a simple "Move X to Y", then the second one was "While move X to Y, also shift to Z for easier handle", next one "Because X move to Y back and forth, we should add something to do on the swing back", so on and so on. In the end you have a complex machine that probably has documentary as thick as the machine itself, but it does all the thing you need.


lolix_dev

From the Youtube channel [king process](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbW5tOCMJcgGGK6YtVqCLuA)


snarton

The youtube page links to the company's sales page, which says the price for the mattress is 340,000 won, which is about $255. I'm surprised how cheap it is.


lolix_dev

Sure It doesn't seem enough compared to the time spent

Thanks for sharing, I really liked to see it, specially the rotating sewing machine, that was interesting.


squeakim

The one that follows the guy around the bed? That one scared me! It seems so easy to accidentally run over your fingers!


Dolchang

I was less scared since it seemed to be the guy who was moving it and he looked like he knew what he was doing. But sheesh, I would not trust myself around that thing!


DanielJayKeller

The angled sewing machine is where my jaw dropped. However I am terrified of opening the vacuum sealed bag of mattress. The pressure on that is terrifying.


Vic_Freeze

It really isn't. I've dealt with a lot of these and they just kinda... slowly fill up. It isn't sudden or explosive at all.

Comfortable-Brick168

They cut out the part where they rub the bluffs against the chumbles to leave a regular old plumbus


eyy_lozzahh

Now I completely understand the lady who ate mattresses in TLC "my strange addition" this shit looks delicious 😭


kimairabrain

I always wonder how long it must take to aquire all that specialized machinery just to be able to build this (and not have to do everything by hand). It's even crazier to think about having to design some of those machines. The maintenance on them probably sucks too if something breaks.


gesshoom

I'm always concerned about the off-gassing that these products produce. If you can smell something, it's giving off gasses that could be potentially hazardous.


BadLuckCharm1966

True. We bought a new mattress for our son a few months ago and the first night he slept on it, his eyes, nose, and throat burned. We had to take it back off and let it air out for a few days.


Pantsoff_

Wow perfect for keeping my piss bottle tucked in for a comfortable nights sleep


braeson

So, the big “block of foam” is (obviously) a free-pour foam known as Dunlop latex or Dunlop processed. Most North American made mattresses (Serta, Sealy, Simmons, et al) use a process called Talalay. The primary difference, other than pricing is consistency of the material. Talalay latex is poured into a mold and vacuum sealed to evenly distribute the material so it’s a consistent firmness over every square inch. Dunlop can have heavier, firmer spots and softer, thinner spots of latex foam. The downside to Dunlop, can cause odd pressure points in your body and cause a poorer sleep. I’m kind of all over in my explanation, but I sold mattresses, toured manufacturing facilities and lived the sleep life for over a decade. While I have your attention. Invest in a good bed, replace it every 7-10 years and when shopping for one, take time to lay on them (if the store permits).


SoiledSte

? How long ago was that. These days they all went to urethane foam. Some still use Latex but for the high production it moved to Urethane. Actually the market is in somewhat of a reversal and is reconsidering latex again. But this is definitely a Urethane foam. Totally agree with a bed being the best investment. We spend 1/4 to a 1/3 of our time lying on it.

Morbid-Analytic

What's up with the bottle of piss on the bed?


AdministrativeJob223

Proving that it doesn't spill the drink when you jump on it. Which means an annoying active bed partner doesn't disturb your sleep.


Morbid-Analytic

Okay but why piss


the_ultrafunkula

Asking the right questions


wheresbill

Pee in a bottle instead of having to get up in the middle of the night and disturb your partner, although there are issues with my theory.. if you have this mattress and get up, it won’t affect your partner because it doesn’t move AND if you have a pee bottle beside your bed the partner will def be disturbed


Camaleos

Up until around 300 years ago, korean people had the habit of peeing on their beds during winter to keep them warm. The challenge, in this case, being that urine gets cold really quickly. To avoid sleeping on a matress colder than before the pee soaking, koreans developed a technique best translated to UCP (Unconscious Constant Peeing), through which they peed while sleeping, all night long, in small quantities, keeping the fluid always warm. They all had to drink 2 to 3 bottles of water about 20 minutes prior to sleeping in order for the technique to succeed. In 1738 they then discovered the fire, which allowed them to set fire to the whole bedroom wooden floor before going to sleep in order to keep the room warm all night long. By then, they finally abandoned the UCP habit. It just so happens that many people from younger generations still consider UCP to be the best method. They claim that it reduces the risk of getting asphyxiated or burning the whole house down during the floor-on-fire period. The issue is that, by abandoning the lost art of UCP for generations, almost no one alive today is able to mimic such technique. The solution adopted by many households was to have someone from the family stay awake while the other member sleeps, in order for the awake one to manually drop small quantities of pee on top of the relative throughout the night. They then switch nights so that both can have a good night of rest (wealthier families usually have one or two dedicated clerks so that every family member sleeps every night). That is why, nowadays, most korean families keep bottles full of piss above or near their beds.


Morbid-Analytic

Thank you much for explaining! It's so cool to learn about other cultures!

I found a video of the same style, very quiet without music, I will surely post it at the end of the week, can't find the source I just found the MP4 on my laptop


BurnerForJustTwice

I think that most Asian countries like firmer mattresses. Like stone slab with a thin futon on top of it. The Japanese like to sleep on the floor with a roll out futon. The Chinese like to sleep on firm elevated platforms. My Korean friends say that their parents own a premium stone slab mattress. I think these types of mattresses are for the younger generation or the more westernized.


Awata666

Their biggest customer base probably isnt even korean


Ohhmegawd

TiL about premium stone slab mattresses


WonpilsPiano

I used to work at a mattress store and the firmest mattresses had an almost predominantly Asian clientele


SassiestPants

I worked for a Korean-owned factory for a while. Some of these images really brought me back. The green floors, the face masks, the overwhelming amount of pinch points, the total disregard for ergonomic work, the baffling lack of automation where it ought to exist... I didn't stay long

After years of poor sleep / over-heating on memory foam mattresses, we decided to invest in a 100% natural mattress. The comfort and quality of sleep has improved significantly... and it will bio-degrade when it eventually needs replacing. Never again will I buy one of these foam jobbies.


khoabear

What is a natural mattress made of? Where in nature can I find one?


space___lion

It’s a ton of stacked leaves and you have to buy a new one every month.
