Congratulations are in order for your new Cougar purchase!

We waited way too long to make the change-over to a "real" mattress... fighting sheets that did not fit etc etc.

Do yourself a favor and do what we did and get a true mattress. We purchased a Queen size from IKEA (for platform beds). Best upgrade ever.

I cut down the OSB board platform to the actual Queen size mattress. Now you can purchase sheets that are to your liking & fit! You will also have the luxury of about 5 inches extra on each side of the bed area!
