The first thing you need when setting up your very own mattress slide is...a steep set o' stairs protected by walls on either side. Next you need 2 old mattresses that you don't use or care about....we store our in our icky storage room :) You also need a mat or some kind of barrier for the bottom of the stairs for protection. If one of the mattresses is more slippery than the other put that one on the top because its faster that way. For those who like a little more speed and excitement we tweaked it a bit by putting pillows and other stuff under the top mattress to form a ramp!!!
P.S. This is awesome - we do this whenever we can convince Mom to make the effort to put it up...to be fair she usually doesn't take to much convincing!!!
