The specification holder and mounting platform are comprised of textile fabric and a layer of foam over cardboard. All pieces are sewn together and the frame portion and mounting platform are joined together by hook-and-loop fastener strips. The long section of the mounting platform slides between the mattress and the box springs, with the display section standing upright.
