Good posture, bad posture

 Head properly held back.
 At the White Water Center having Burritos and sodas on a weekday.  Head painfully perched forward. Ouch.
This is still how the Turkish  Sofa remains.  I need to get some more throw type pillows and bolsters. And some sort of table/drink holders that attach to the walls, as the center area is too tight for a table.  And some lighting.  But even as it currently is,this set up is Awesome.  Great for napping, reading, cruising the web on a laptop or watching a movie on it.

Bottom Mattresses / Cushions for Turkish outdoor couch

The biggest problem now, I think is the density of the pillows. The ones I have now are a bit to weak/soft.

The mattresse are a bit too short, but two is too long.  I will have to do some cutting, unless want to just
make the platform bigger.

This won't be the final table, just putting it in for spacing/dimension feel.
One of these two mattress has a much better feel than the other.  I'm going to keep the good one, return the other two, and buy 3 or 4 more of the good one.
This fat mattress didn't feel too good - too bouncy, and the opposite side would pop up when you sat down.

Visit to Mary Jo's Fabric shop to look into covering my outdoor pillows

 Mary Jo's Fabric store, the first floor.
 Just the outdoor fabric selection at Mary Jo's
If cost is a factor, and I have to stay at $7, then I'd got with above print.


 These top three are about $7/yard.

 I think this was the one I liked best.  It had a nice velvet feel.
But I think this is the one I could afford.  Either way, I'll try to get the pillows, etal. made out of something like this or the above.  Or something else....  I've yet to calc the yardage, and to even get a quote for the tailoring.


These last five were considerable of higher quality than the first three, and thus fetched higher prices, generally starting at $15, but >=$20/yd was common.
