Hi GladysLim,

Do u happen to have their contact numbers with u? U sound like u really know about this stuff, I need to get some foam for making a headboard too, what type would u recommend?

I used to buy 4" thk sponge mattress from them; the cheapest range for single bed size.

A few yrs back, it's about $14/- where I ordered one whole lorry, 40pcs mattresses & 40 pcs pillows.

For your own use, get the better quality foam. It should be cheaper without the covering.

One thing to take note is, it is better to buy the whole single bed size sheet than asking them to cut into size as u need to pay more for the cutting.

There is a thread in this forum on diy headboard, see whether there is any better place to buy.

Thanks for sharing Gladys!

I've given both of them a call, and this is what I found out:-

36" x 75" (std single bed size), 4" thick

- High density foam

Tah Li Thong: $48.15 after gst

Hua's Foam: $45

- Medium density foam

TLT: $30

Hua's Foam: $20

So, no prizes for guessing which one I'll b buying from

For headbd, I think 2" thk hd foam should be enough.

Yes, that's what d salesperson said too, thanks Gladys! I'll go check it out when I drop by their office soon.

BTW, not sure if u know abt plywood too, but where can I find a good supplier and what type/thickness shd I be looking for?

Since we r on this topic, I might as well ask u about d fabric as well am pretty set on getting a microfibre or microsuede type fabric for d headboard, where's d cheapest source?

I don't know where to get stuffs at very good prices and I never made headbd b4.

Just go to any carpentry shop near your area as u are not buying much.

U can try www.Renown at Blk 1 Yishun st 23, #06-45. This furniture factory get their stock from Moscan buidling mat. at AMK pk 2 but this moscan does not provide cutting services.

There is a wood supplier at level 5 but their stock is from china, I notice there are sign of worms attack on their BBCC ply.

As for fabric, maybe try textile centre.

Unless u are using velvet, I would say water repllent mat like the scotch guard can be dust off easily.

There is fire retardent mat where u see in most typist chair. It is about $20/-pm from Hwa Tat Lee or the cheaper range about $12/- from weng heng but it discoloured.

U mount the headbd onto the wall or on the divan set? If divan , u have to use m/s supoort and I suggest u use wing nut with countersunk bolts instead of self tapping screw.

Thanks for d tips & advise Gladys, appreciate it!

Gonna mount it directly on d wall. Actually d headboard is NOT going to b used for d bed but as d back-support for our platform sofa that'll look sth like this (behind d sofa cushion, it's bare wall, so wanna make my own 'headboard' to protect d wall and not look too bare):-

Do u have any advise how best to mount it in this case? And any way to prevent d microsuede fabric on d 'headboard' fr getting all 'wrinkly' and to stay flat & taut when it's up? Cos it's quite a big surface, so am a bit concerned that it'll get all messed up fr use and wudnt stay nice & taut & neat anymore

Drill some holes on the plywood and maybe sew some buttons on the cushion.

Simple mounting is to use max bond.

U might have problem to flip up your storage compartment if u secure the headbd with brackety becos u might need to make a thicker plywood frame and trimming for the installation.
