Please forgive me for this post, but I'm having a hard time finding the answer with the search function of this forum.

I'd like to see if i can fix my pillowtop by cutting just the top open and refilling with towels or something (I heard towels from someone here, thought I don't remember where).  I'd really appreciate if someone can give me detailed instructions and possibly even pictures.  I'm terrible at all this stuff involving sewing and cutting, and I'm a little freaked out by it, and I don't know what to expect.  So I'd like as much help as possible.  Thanks!

Kait, thanks for your response.  I'm pretty sure it's just the pillowtop that has degraded, not the actual springs.

Jojo, I will try to follow your advice.  I remember seeing your pictures at one point, but like you said, i can't find them anymore.  If I gave you my email address, would you be able to email them?  Thanks.

I only posted a picture of a cutaway of my bed...not the surgery, you don't have the same bed so it won't help. There ARE some photos here of surgery. If you look at cloud9 old posts you will find his/her surgery also was it kait that had some? Billb, can you point him in right direction for surgery photos?
