A
woman and her two children could not stop sneezing as heaps of kapok floated in
the air around them. Even the afternoon downpour did not dampen their working
spirit. With the silky fibers or kapok flying all around them and setting onto
their bodies, they kept stuffing kapok into a large cloth bag to make mattress.
Rasni
40 is one of the woman working in a mattress-making centre in Wanakerta
mattress in Bajanegara village
of Purbalingga
Since
1978 Wanakerta residents have been making mattresses in a very traditional way.
To make one mattress they need stuffing, mattress cloth and thread. There are
two kinds of stuffing with which they are familiar : kapok and fibrous yarn called benglon which is made from
textile factory waste. The products have a good market not only in Purbalingga
but also in other urban centers like Surakarta ,
Tasikmalaya, and Jakarta
The
mattress-making business in Wanakerta was pioneered by Mahwari, 50, and the
late Rasmadi. Before trying their hands at mattress-making, they sold
agricultural products in a number of areas in Java. When they were in a textile
mill in Bandung , West Java
they saw heaps of textile waste, the kapoklike polyester benglon fibers.
The
process of making a mattress in a traditional way is simple. “Before it is put
into a cloth bag, the kapok or benglon must be first put in the sunlight so
that it will expand, “said Rasni.
Then
it is put into a cloth bag of mattress size. The bag is sewn up with mattress
thread. “When the mattress is ready, it will be again put in the sunlight so that it will expand further, “she added.
To
make a single mattress, nine metres of mattress cloth, 20 kg of kapok or 25 kg
of benglon and two rolls of thread, are needed. One mattress is sold at an
average price of Rp. 90,000,-
The
mattress-makers handle heaps of kapok and benglon every do not wear protective
masks, leaving them vulnerable to health problem. The biggest risk they is when
unpack the stuffing, put it in the sunlight and fill the mattress bag.
