The majority of the beds occupied by children often had a tattered mattress about one inch thick , almost a blanket lined with plastic, and some had not even that, and the mattress was made up of overlapping layers of cardboard, with a piece od plastic on top.

Our interventions: we carried out the realization of 63 mattresses and 5 large footon, buying and cutting the 4 inches thick foam that, with the help of a tailor, we had coated with vinylic fabric, obtaining confortable and easily washable mattresses.
