The mattress repairing trade is one of those jobs that may attract attention in some countries of the world because it may have disappeared. Still in my country, Cuba, it is still practiced, it consists in the repair of these mattresses and also in the handmade creation of these. The change of the springs due to breakage is usually the main reason why customers take their mattresses to be repaired.

You may ask yourself: Why not buy a new one? The answer is purely economic, the cost of repairing a mattress may be only 20 percent of the cost of buying a new one, although it could be much less depending on what you can afford to pay for a mattress.

New mattresses can cost anywhere from $100 to $400.

The photographic work presented for your consideration was made at the moment of the mattress defect, to be more precise, they were checking spring by spring to know which one needed to be changed.

Lino has been working for several years in this trade and with the help of his granddaughter's husband they were bringing this mattress back to life.

I hope you enjoy the images, any positive vote, comment, suggestion or question will be well received.

I have taken on the task of sharing a photography tip in each of my photography blogs, maybe I can help someone who needs it.

Tip of the day:

Using a UV filter to protect the lens and objective from shock, dust and scratches may help you avoid spending a lot of money, also fortunately they are relatively inexpensive and of good quality .
