Street Mattress

September 25th, 2011
After seeing the mattress spring shots from Mimo and Jani, it got me thinking about a pretty funny website that I discovered a few years ago. I've always thought of submitting something, but never have.
Take a photo of a mattress on the street + submit = Street Mattress.
Well on it's way to having 25,000 submissions!

I had a friend who gave up his bed to move in with a girl, only to have her take the bed three months later. So we spent a year taking photos of every disposed mattress we could find.

@brumbe hmmm, that sounds weirdly familiar to a friend of mine and his now ex-girlfriend. If you lived closer I'd think it was the same person.

What a fab site - love the way you can sort by category like 'Sleepable' and 'The Untouchables'! I'm proud to come from Walthamstow where our mattresses are so renowned you can buy a souvenir calendar http://www.walthamstowtourism.co.uk/cal.html

@pocketmouse You should submit your photo. From what I've seen, it just might end up being the nicest looking street mattress on the site!

What an oddly specific site! I decided to contribute one of my older photos:

@onarom I remember that shot...creepy-up-above-the-head into an overpass shot. Excellent street mattress with bonus crappy shoe! You put it on the site?
September 26th, 2011

@shutterbugger funny, i was thinking of doing a mini-street-mattress series- so many around when you start noticing them..

I see them now and then, but I'm sure that if I am looking for them I'd realise that they are all over the place! Excellent processing, did you submit this? @sleepdozer57
