Brilliant Ways To Use Pool Noodles For Your Bed
By GWEN SWANSON
Headboard
For a boho-style headboard, collect six pool noodles, three yards of stretchy fabric, and hot glue. Bend each noodle into an arch over each other to make a rainbow shape.
Now, glue the noodles in place. Finish by cutting the fabric into long strips or stretching it over the noodles, then securing it with glue to form a gorgeous arched headboard.
Gaps
If you have a gap between your mattress and the wall, measure the width and length of the gap beforehand and place a wedge in it using one or more pool noodles.
Slide the noodle into the gap and no longer worry about phones, earplugs, and other small items slipping through. You can also size up your comforter and sheet to hide it better.
Bumpers
To make safety bumpers for a child or adult bed, buy six pool noodles, divide them into two bundles, duct tape them together, and tuck each one on either side of a mattress.
Now, secure them with a mattress cover and fitted sheet. Add security by purchasing bed sheet holder straps for $9.99 on Amazon, which help hold the bed sheet and noodles in place.
Bed Frame
Dress up a simple bed frame using four wood planks, many pool noodles, fabric, hot glue, and a staple gun. Pick wood planks the same length and height as the frame.
Five pool noodles cover each side of a 1-foot-tall frame, so use 20 noodles in total. Hot glue them to the planks, cover them with stretchy fabric, and secure with staples or glue.
Bedsheets
All it takes is one pool noodle to help make the bed every day. Use a single pool noodle to tuck a comforter and sheet between your mattress and bed frame.
Spray paint the noodle with water or latex-based paint, but don't use an oil-based paint, as this will break down the foam. Ensure that it’s dry before you place it on your bed.
