This reminds me of when I threw away my mattress last time.

It was also a “sentimental” item, it came with me when i moved out. My parents separated shortly after and i spent a lot of time just laying there. Anyway, at some point i sowed a pocket into it to hide cash. Had to run out and stop the garbage man at 7:00am when I remembered. He was pissed, but then happy with $100.
