colchones con textura de

Explanation:
Muy parecido a lo propuesto por Lori_A, aunque con un matiz esencial: es su textura, no su forma, lo que recuerda a los famosos cartones para transportar huevos.
Muchos los empleamos en la universidad para enmascarar la dureza del colchón original. Son amarillos, no muy gruesos, y con "pinchos" blandos en una de sus caras.
¡Suerte!
