I went to Toys r us today and they had these and other animals, from £14.99 - £22.99 thought they would be good for the children to sit on.

Well I spoke to my Aunt about covering my foam mattress as cushions and she reckons the material could work out quite expensive.
So I am going to look in Ikea when I go in the next day or 2 and if not, then I am off to Makro to get some of the dog cushions for £12.

Cosco have loads and loads of pet cusions which aren't expensice they even have some with magic roundabout characters on them and so certainly don't look as they are meant for pets.
Also they had some nice floor cushions too for either £14 or £18 but they were like sofa cushions and were really quite deep -
I forgot to say in my previous post that in addition to my stripy cushions I have a small bean bag too.
Hope this helps a little to give you more options

I have LOADS of normal bed pillows on my sofas that the kids can drag onto the floor whenever they want. They use them for sleeping (or at least pretending to sleep lol), for building dens, for pillow fights , and whatever else madcap idea they have. I just have cheepo pillowcases that match (sort of) my sofas. Don't know if this could be a way forward for you if the dog bed doesn't work out.
Don't get rid of your cot mattress though, your kids will love it in the summer.

do any of you use freecycle groups? I've posted a couple of wanted posts and was inundated with replies.
I've got quite a few bits in way of craft items, games and books and computer games/software for kids (educational of course).
I'm waiting for a reply from a lady offering a soft play type sofa for my reading corner *fingers crossed*
had a brainwave i think, how about using pillows for he quiet reading corner you can buy quite firms ones and then buy a couple of patterned pillowcases sew buttons on the side to fasten opening, im sure that would work out cheaper than buying dog cushions i looked in my local cheap shop they want 12.99 each for large dog cushions
Just an idea
Dog Beds are a brilliant idea. I was in my local Dunelm shop the other day and they had very large flat rectangular 'beds'. I will go back and buy one now. Thanks for the idea. Plus It can go outside in the summer in the outdoor classroom (a wooden gazebo, that standing on a deck). I did not think of that either until i read these postings.
Thanks.
