A Guide To Our Travel Cot Mattresses

Apr 21, 2023

The same advanced technology and premium materials are utilised in our travel cot mattresses, rendering them indispensable travel companions when journeying with your little one, whether it's a stayover at the Grandparents' or a well-deserved family holiday.

We offer a diverse range of travel cot mattresses on our website, tailored to fit mainstream branded travel cots, allowing you to replace the original mattress. However, if we don't stock the size you require, we are able to craft the specific size you need through our innovative 'build your own mattress' service.

Each travel cot mattress features a folding mechanism, enabling you to easily fold it in half for storage and travel, making it compact and convenient for plane journeys. A zip is located at the back of the mattress, facilitating seamless folding. Your travel cot mattress will arrive folded inside its own fabric storage bag, ensuring it remains dust-free during storage. This folding feature does not compromise the comfort or safety of the mattress.

The accompanying storage bag is essential for keeping your mattress dust-free while not in use.

Regardless of the dimensions required for the travel cot mattress, we offer two premium mattress fillings to choose from. For safety reasons, we are restricted in the fillings we can use, ensuring they do not exceed a depth of 5/7cm, as stipulated by British Safety Standards.

All our travel cot mattresses are expertly crafted by our dedicated artisans, incorporating innovative technology inspired by adult mattresses. You can rest assured that each mattress has been meticulously constructed without the use of any harmful chemicals. We are committed to meeting specifications that comply with the rigorous requirements of BS 1877 Part 10 for safety and performance, as well as BS 7177 for flammability, without employing any antimony, phosphorus, or arsenic-based fire-retardant treatments.

Choosing the right mattress filling for your little one can seem daunting. We often receive inquiries from perplexed parents struggling to determine the suitable mattress core type for them. To simplify the selection process, we have devised a straightforward guide outlining the core types available for our travel cots.

Tiny Dreamer™ Description: Premium Nursery Grade Foam Why Choose: Settle your little one into our 'original' Tiny Dreamer™ mattress for a peaceful and comfortably serene slumber. This premium mattress is filled with the highest quality nursery-grade foam, rigorously tested for its firmness and support, making it ideal for newborns and beyond. Approved by esteemed organisations like the Lullaby Trust, Academic Research, and British standards for safeguarding a young baby’s spine, this specialty foam ensures a safe and restful sleep for babies, toddlers, and children alike. The Tiny Dreamer™ mattress is an excellent option for parents seeking a durable, hypoallergenic, and affordable mattress that will endure for years to come. Covered in our signature soft white bubble fabric, it is exceptionally cosy and conveniently machine washable, simplifying stain removal.

Additional Benefits: Designed for All Seasons, Breathable, Hypoallergenic, Removable Cover for Easy Washing, Made in England. UK Safety Standards: BS 1877-10:2011+A1:2012 & BS 7177:1996 Budget: £ Firmness Rating: Medium firm - certified to British Standards

Tiny Dreamer Natural™ Description: A 100% natural dual filling of Organic Coconut Coir with Fully Traceable Natural Latex & 100% Wool. Why Choose: Elevate your baby's sleep environment naturally with our innovative 'dual core' breathable Tiny Dreamer Natural™️ mattress. Filled with the world's finest 100% sheep’s wool and organic coconut coir, this mattress ensures a blissfully comfortable sleep regardless of the season. The two generous layers of sheep’s wool provide natural thermoregulation, crucial for newborns who cannot regulate their own body temperature until they are around 3-4 months old. Paired with a chunky layer of luxury organic coconut coir, this mattress offers optimal firmness to support newborns and beyond, as recommended by safety sleep experts. Hypoallergenic and anti-dust mite, thanks to its chemical-free filling, the Tiny Dreamer Natural™️ also features a removable cover for easy cleaning, making it a practical and natural choice for your little one's sleep environment.

Additional Benefits: Wool is naturally fire retardant. Toxin & chemical free, organic & totally natural fillings, Thermoregulating, Hypoallergenic, Removable Cover for Easy Washing, Safety Zip Pocket, Made in England UK Safety Standards: BS 1877-10:2011+A1:2012 & BS 7177:1996 Budget: £££££ Firmness Rating: Low Firm - certified to British Standards

When travelling, the comfort of your child's sleep space should not be compromised. Similar to adults, the quality of sleep can significantly impact rest and overall well-being when using an uncomfortable mattress.

Don't forget to complement your new travel cot mattress with our waterproof terry cotton fitted mattress protectors and GOTS certified organic white jersey cotton fitted sheets. We also offer tailor-made options to suit your needs.

The Best Place To Buy a Mattress

• Shopping & Retail
• Food & Restaurants
• Warehouse Clubs

If you’re looking for the best mattress for your budget, taking the time to plan when and where to make your purchase could help you save big.

I recently reviewed the latest Consumer Reports recommendations on where to buy a mattress and started comparison shopping. While Consumer Reports members can view the full study online, you can also see the highlights below. At those retailers, and at other popular mattress stores, I looked at the lowest available price of queen-size mattresses to determine where you’ll find the best deal.

This article was updated in April 2024 and I review it every 12 months. Detailed notes on all updates can be found here .

When and Where To Buy the Best Cheap Mattress

Money expert Clark Howard loves warehouse clubs for in-store mattress shopping, but online mattress companies have created fierce competition with solid return policies.

“The advantage of all the bed-in-a-box things is the ultra-long warranties,” says Clark Howard. “What I love about all of them is this range to try it for three months, six months or a year.”

As far as when you’ll be seeing the most deals, February, May and November are promising months. Look for deals around major holidays including Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, and Black Friday.

In this article, I’ll take a close look at the best stores to check out while shopping for a cheap mattress. I’ll cover where to buy a mattress online and when you’re most likely to swing a great deal throughout the year. 

Where you decide to buy your new mattress not only affects the price you’ll pay, but it also could make a huge difference if you aren’t satisfied with your purchase.

When you’re shopping for a new mattress, you’ll most likely get the best deal online . If you prefer to try out a mattress in-person, you’ll be able to swing a reliable deal from warehouse clubs such as Costco and Sam’s Club .

Based on ratings from Consumer Reports , here are a few of the most highly-rated places to shop for a new mattress that also have average or higher ratings in the “price satisfaction” category:

Denver Mattress Company

• Macy’s

Mattress Warehouse

• The Original Mattress Factory
• Raymour & Flanigan
• Tuft and Needle

I looked at some of the most affordable queen-size mattresses available online at these retailers as well as the prices at five other popular furniture stores. Here’s what I found in April 2024.

If you’re on a penny-pinching budget, you’ll most likely be able to find the cheapest mattress at Bed, Bath & Beyond , Mattress Warehouse , Walmart , Wayfair , or even Amazon .

Additionally, warehouse clubs like Sam’s Club and Costco also feature a great selection of affordable mattresses. Plus, for the most part, these warehouse clubs offer unbeatable return policies. 

Some of the pricier retailers, such as Tuft & Needle , Casper and Saatva , also offer great trial periods for their products. You should be able to catch deals and markdowns at these stores throughout the year.

When you find a mattress you like, take the time to comparison shop. You may be able to find a cheaper, similar alternative at a different store online.

Clearly, there are a few things to consider beyond the price when it comes to buying a mattress, especially if you aren’t able to test it out first. It’s important to read reviews and familiarize yourself with the store’s return policy on mattresses before making your purchase.

Let’s take a closer look at a few of the best places to buy a mattress.

The Best Places To Buy a Mattress

Buying a mattress online is one of the best ways to ensure you’re getting a great price. Since mattresses are such a crucial part of our health and comfort, it’s important that you’re happy with what you’ve purchased. 

Even after you’ve found what looks like the perfect mattress, take the time to read reviews and understand the store’s return policy. 

Here are a few things to know about some of the best, most affordable places to buy a mattress online. 

When I checked mattress prices recently, Mattress Warehouse offered the second-most affordable selection for a 9”-10” queen mattress just behind Bed, Bath & Beyond. However, Mattress Warehouse offers a 100-day comfort guarantee for most mattress brands, which means you can easily return your mattress if you aren’t satisfied with it. 

Consumer Reports ranks Mattress Warehouse third in its mattress ratings and reviews just behind Original Mattress Factory and Saatva. Mattress Warehouse received perfect scores in the service, on-time delivery, quality of delivery and floor model cleanliness categories.

Walmart offers some of the cheapest mattress options online, but it’s important to make sure you’re ordering directly from Walmart online. Third-party sellers, which also sell mattresses on the Walmart website, have their own return policies which can vary greatly. 

Mattresses sold by Walmart are eligible for a 90-day trial period. If you don’t like what you’ve purchased at any point during the first three months, you can call customer service to facilitate a return by freight. While you’ll be able to get a refund, you will have to pay return delivery fees. 

Wayfair also offers a huge selection of mattresses from several different popular brands. In addition to variety and great prices, you’ll find sales and markdowns frequently throughout the year. 

In order to ensure satisfaction, the company offers a 100-night trial. If during that time you decide to upgrade your mattress to a more expensive option, you’ll simply have to pay the difference. You can also choose to receive a full refund, though return shipping costs will be deducted.

Amazon also offers a great online selection of mattresses at affordable prices. In fact, Consumer Reports ranks Amazon as one of the top ten places to buy because of its low prices and impressive selection. Plus, you can return your mattress for a refund if you aren’t happy with it within the first 100 days.

Since Amazon does allow third-party sellers, shipping and return policies may vary from brand to brand. Be sure to read before you buy and determine the length of the trial period. Many of the mattress brands sold on Amazon offer free shipping and returns — but not all of them.

For a nice balance of affordability and a solid refund policy, warehouse stores are a great place to shop. Sam’s Club offers reasonably priced mattresses from brands including Serta, Tempur-Pedic, Zinus and more. Queen mattresses start as low as $130. 

As far as trial periods go, Sam’s Club offers a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee that allows you to return your mattress at any time. You can call customer service to facilitate a return for any reason, but you will be charged a return fee unless you’re a Plus Member. Select mattress brands available at Sam’s Club are also eligible for a trial period of up to 100 nights. Trial periods vary by brand.

Denver Mattress Company may not offer the absolute cheapest selection of mattresses, but you will find an excellent selection and a decent return policy. 

According to Consumer Reports, Denver Mattress Company ranks fourth among competitors behind Original Mattress Factory, Saatva and Mattress Warehouse. It received above-average scores in the service, customer support, selection, on-time delivery, quality of delivery and floor model cleanliness categories. 

If you purchase a mattress from Denver Mattress Company, you’ll be covered by a 365 Night Better Sleep Guarantee and Warranty . However, that doesn’t mean you can return your mattress for a full refund a year later. Instead, you can get a full refund or exchange within the first four months after purchase. After four months, you’ll receive partial credit towards an exchange (no refunds).

While you can find cheaper mattresses online, mattresses at Costco are still among the more affordable options. It’s an especially great choice if you’re hoping to pick out a mattress in-person at the store. You’ll find great prices as well as peace of mind when it comes to returning a mattress.

“Any mattress you buy there, you can return it forever,” says money expert Clark Howard. “There’s no limit.”

If you make your purchase online, Costco will help facilitate the return for you. If you buy a mattress in the store and want to return it, you’ll have to bring it back yourself. For this reason, I recommend making your final purchase online (even if you visit the store first to shop for a mattress in person.)

Be sure to check out these tips for buying furniture at Costco before buying. 

The Best Time To Buy a Mattress

No matter where you decide to buy your mattress, you may be able to get an even better deal by waiting until the right time of year. 

Holiday weekends are a great time to look for deals on major purchases. Specifically, you’ll see markdowns for mattresses around Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day and Black Friday . Prices will also be more competitive during Cyber Monday, Amazon Prime Day and just before new inventory rolls out in June. 

To see how mattress prices vary throughout the year, I used Camelcamelcamel to track the price history of a few mattresses at Amazon. Even if you don’t plan on buying a mattress at Amazon, you can bet that the price drops are in line with other competitive retailers throughout the year. 

In April 2024, I tracked the history of a Lucid 10″ Inch Gel Memory Foam Mattress using Camelcamelcamel. Here’s what I found:

As you can see, the price fluctuated several times within a year. The lowest price was $288.98 while the highest price was $385.24 for this mattress. That means there was an ultimate savings opportunity of $96.26 simply by making this purchase at the right time !

The lowest prices in the past year appeared in May, November, February and April. That means you’d likely find a great deal on this mattress during President’s Day, Spring/early Summer sales and Black Friday .

As of April 2024, the Novilla 12″ gel memory foam mattress seemed to be following a familiar pattern with the biggest price drop of the past year happening around Black Friday in November.

With this mattress, the price seems to change more regularly. For this reason, it’s important to check the price history to see if you may be able to get a better deal by waiting a week or a month for a price drop.

Let’s look at one final example. This Linenspa 8″ memory foam and innerspring hybrid mattress also experienced dynamic pricing in the past year. 

The lowest price on this mattress was available just around Black Friday: $159. Earlier in the year, prices began to drop around May.

You’ll see that prices begin to fluctuate on nearly all mattresses in late spring and throughout the summer. New models of mattresses start hitting the shelves around June . That makes Memorial Day another great time to find a deal.

Final Thoughts

If you’re shopping for a new mattress, it’s important to find what works best for you. For that reason, it’s important to consider the store’s return policy as well as the price of the mattress before you buy it. 

You’ll find some of the most affordable mattresses online at Mattress Warehouse, Walmart and Wayfair with good return policies overall. Warehouse clubs like Sam’s Club and Costco also offer great prices in addition to full refunds on mattresses, which makes purchasing there worth it. 

Consider buying a mattress during holiday weekends in February, May and November for the best prices of the year.

More Ways to Save: 

• Shop online. It’s easy to price compare, and you’re going to have access to more options and deals year-round . If you aren’t sure where to start, Clark recommends checking Consumer Reports . There, members can find  the latest reviews and ratings on quality mattresses.
• Look for coupons, promo codes and discounts. In addition to holiday sales and clearance markdowns, you can often get a better price by searching for available rebates, promotions or additional savings.
• Get rid of your old mattress for free. You can donate your mattress to the Salvation Army for a tax deduction. They’ll accept a mattress as long as it’s newer than 2007 and has no rips, tears or damage. You can even call to schedule a free pickup or set one up online !

Clark Rubber Mattress Review

January 9, 2024

If you don’t buy bedding frequently, then choosing a mattress brand can be one hell of a job!

We were on a mission to pick some of the popular names that manufacture and sell mattresses in the country. And that’s when we came across Clark Rubber. 

But are its mattresses worth investing in? Read on to find out.

Clark Rubber - a brief brand history

For the unversed, Clark Rubber is one of the earliest and most popular chains of retail stores, originating in the mid-1940s. The brand is termed a specialist in selling pools, foam and rubber, making it pretty unique on the Australian retail market.

Talking about the inception story, Clark Rubber was formed by a partnership between Charlesworth and Clarke in 1946. It grew rapidly over the next few years, making it to the Australian Stock Exchange in 1951.

Around the 1980s, the brand was sold to the Adsteam Group, which adopted a franchise-based business model and continued with it till 1994. Clark Rubber was then sold to Vita Pacific (a subsidiary of Pacific Dunlop), but the stores were closed down soon after.

However, it was the efforts of an Australian retailer veteran Chris Malcolm, who purchased the brand from Pacific Dunlop in 2000 and steered it to new heights of success. 

Only 3 years later, Clark Rubber went on to become the Franchise Council in the country’s Franchise of the Year “Entry Capital Over $200,000” category. It also found a place in the organisation’s Hall of Fame the same year. Later, it won the prestigious Franchise of the Year award.

Today, Clark Rubber is owned by CRG Operations, with an ever-expanding network of stores and improved product offerings.

Clark Rubber mattress review - are they any good?

You don’t come across a lot of stores that specialise in both pools and mattresses (among other things). And this may make potential buyers apprehensive about the quality and cost-effectiveness of the latter. 

However, Clark Rubber is known for its decent mattress offerings, which come in different sizes and prices. Not only that, but you will also find special mattresses for camping, caravanning and hospital beds.

To give you a better idea, here is a quick overview of some of the products that grabbed our attention.

1. Comfort standard single mattress

One of the cheapest mattresses in the category, the comfort standard mattress is ideal for occasional use during sleepovers or get-togethers. It’s made from medium-density foam infused with Ultra-Fresh compound for antibacterial protection.

Topped off with a lightweight and breathable microfiber cover for maximum comfort, this unit comes in 3 depth variations.

2. Comfort standard double mattress

If you’re looking for a couple mattress without having to break the bank, then the standard double mattress may fit the bill. With 3 depth variations and a standard medium foam construction, it aims to provide the right balance between comfort and support. Plus, the Ultra-Fresh compound keeps mould, mildew, dust mites and fungi at bay.

The removable cover is machine-washable, and the brand offers a 1-year warranty on this unit.

3. Comfort Premium latex king mattress

The Latex King mattress is for people who don’t mind extending their budget for premium purchases. It’s made from a combination of high-end density foam and natural latex layer to provide optimum support to your body posture. 

As for the eco-friendly Tencel cover, it helps draw away excess moisture to keep you cool and comfortable. Simply take it off and drop it in the machine once in a while. And did we mention it’s backed by a 5-year warranty?

4. Comfort Deluxe full size 3-fold mattress

The single 3-fold mattress from the brand is designed for convenience and comfort in camps, caravans, trailers or your guest bedroom. Featuring a high-density firm foam construction, it promotes a hygienic and comfortable sleeping experience.

Additionally, the package includes a bag for easy transportability of the mattress. 

Things to keep in mind

Some of the important aspects that you should keep in mind while buying from Clark Rubber are:

1. Click and collect service

The brand facilitates in-store pickup of mattress orders placed online, but you can also choose to get them delivered. However, there may be an additional delivery fee if the mattress is too heavy, bypassing the brand’s free delivery policy for orders amounting to $89 or more within 25 km of the servicing store. 

You can check if your preferred mattress is excluded from the free delivery policy on the product page itself.

2. Custom-made mattresses

Some mattresses are categorised as “special order products,” which means they are custom-made, and the waiting time for delivery (or pickup) can extend up to 3 weeks.

3. Return and refunds

The brand accepts returns for a period of 30 days from the date of purchase, provided they are completely unused with original packaging and price tags. You can return the products via mail or drop them at your nearest Clark Rubber store with the original receipt of purchase.

Final words

That brings us to the end of today’s guide. But before wrapping up, here are our two cents: although Clark Rubber is reliable when it comes to mattresses, it doesn’t have a lot to offer in terms of design. 

It may be better to go direct with the brand for the mattress-in-a-box concept, which has taken the bedding market by storm due to its ease of use and cost-efficiency.

You can go for something like the Emma Comfort Mattress , which is suitable for all types of sleepers. It also offers a superior buying experience with trial periods and a decade-long guarantee.

Customer Reviews

I received the mattress it fit perfectly in porto cot and looks like very good quality and the cover is great will be easy to wash

I couldn't find a portacot mattress the right size anywhere online so I ordered one custom off foamsales giving them the dimensions I needed. In two weeks I had the mattress, it's great quality and fits perfectly! I highly recommend this product.

These cot mattresses are fantastic. High quality foam covered with thick, removable cotton covers with strong zips, super fast shipping and they made the world of difference to our folding cots. Highly recommend this business.

Thanks for taking the time to send your generous review Liz. SB

Overall happy other than the thickness of mattress at 40mmm having a option for thicker would be better

Hi Vanessa, thank you for your review. Port-a-cot mattresses are a standard 40mm thick because they need to be easily portable. It sounds like you may have preferred to order one of our standard cot mattresses (100mm thick) or a custom mattress to any thickness of your choosing. Next time you need to upgrade your mattress we'll be happy to talk through the options with you either on email or on the phone to make sure it's exactly what you're after :) RB

Excellent mattress. Bought a custom made size which fits perfectly in the cot. Very happy with the service and quality. Highly recommend this product!

Thank you for your review Louise, glad to hear the mattress is exactly what you were after. RB

Omsk: Western Siberia's hidden gem

A city view of Omsk. Source: Dmitry Feoktistov

Omsk was founded in 1716 when a wooden fort was constructed to house a Cossack unit in the area to protect the expanding Russian frontier from Central Asian nomadic incursions. It served various administrative functions throughout the 1800s and became infamous as a place of exile and incarceration. The city was rundown when selected as a hub for the Trans-Siberian railway in the 1890s. Many international trade companies and foreign consulates relocated here and the remnants of their offices can still be found in the city today.

The mystery of Kolchak’s gold

Omsk became the headquarters of the anti-Bolshevik white army led by Admiral Aleksandr Kolchak in 1918. In late 1918 there was a revolt in the city initiated by a leftist faction (Socialist Revolutionary Party or SPs) with 500 rebel deaths at the hands of Cossacks and Czechoslovak soldiers, a major factor in convincing the SPs to join the Bolsheviks. There is a large Soviet-era monument to the uprising at the corner of Lenina street and Broz Tito street.  

Kolchak was entrusted with a large portion of the Tsarist’s gold reserves, yet amazingly lost much of it. Supposedly 250 million rubles were lost (about $8 million at the time). Legend has it that they were buried near the village of Taiga, yet numerous excavations have turned up nothing. The area still attracts the occasional fortune seeker.

Kolchak’s headquarters are located at what is today the  Omsk Regional Archives  at Broz Tito St., 3. Nothing shows how much times have changed as the imposing Kolchak statue that was unveiled in 2012 around the corner. The statue guards  Kolchak restaurant , a four-story culinary complex featuring a steak house, an Irish pub, a Central Asian café and an Italian eatery.  For more details on where and how to dig Kolchak's gold, see  Top Ten Mysterious Lost Treasures of Russia

Dostoevsky and the Tsar

At 1.15 million people Omsk dwarfs the region’s second largest city, Tara (population 28,000). The city is split by the River Irtysh into two sections (all places of interest are on the right bank) with downtown emanating from the River Om.

Most foreigners have heard of Omsk via writer Fyodor Dostoevsky who spent four years here as a prisoner (1849-1853). He spent most of his time in Omsk in squalor and chains and with no books besides the Bible, however, it left an indelible mark on his memory and influenced his future literary output. There is a statue of the writer in chains grasping a Bible at the corner of Partizanskaya and Spartakovskaya streets, where Dostoevsky undoubtedly stepped many times. A  museum dedicated to the author's time in Omsk  is located nearby at Dostoevskogo St. 1. The local university is also named for him.

Tarskaya Street is one of the city’s oldest thoroughfares. It features a monument to victims of Stalinist repressions and the Tara gates, originally built in 1792 as one of the four entrances to the Omsk fort. Nearby stands the Assumption Cathedral, one of the largest churches in Siberia. Future Tsar Nicholas II laid the first stone here in 1891 when making his way back to St. Petersburg after his Eastern journey.

In Omsk you are never more than a few steps from the village, made clear when one exits the center to the north, where most houses are wooden and roads unpaved. Stroll along Bulatova and Rabinovicha streets, a well-preserved ensemble of wooden architecture.

Omsk’s cultural heritage 

The Pushkin State Library is worth a look with busts of Russian literary figures adorning the front side of the building. At the corner under the big “M” is one of several stations of the never completed Omsk metro. Construction began in 1992, but as of 2014 the project is again dormant due to financing problems.

One of Omsk’s most famous sons is Symbolist painter Mikhail Vrubel (1856-1910). Vrubel ignored contemporary trends and focused on themes from fairy tales, demons and religious subjects and also designed a majolica frieze for the Metropol Hotel in Moscow. Omsk’s Fine Arts Museum is named for him and features a number of  his works .

Milhail Vrubel's painting 'Demon Seated in a Garden' (1890)

Over the years a number of tourists have tripped over the monument to Stepanych. This bust of a plumber rising from a sewer was the idea of Omsk’s former mayor after a trip to Slovakia in the 1990s. Stepanych has become one of the symbols of the city.

Omsk is a hockey town, with one of the major teams,  Avangard , in the KHL, Russia’s premiere professional league. Russian champions on several occasions, check out a match at Omsk Arena. But if you can’t catch a game there’s a large kiosk featuring the team’s merchandise at the airport.

Siberian   punk, jazz and the classics

While Omsk may not be on everyone’s radar musically, it does host a  musical theater  built just after the war. The building on 10 Let Oktyabrya Street is in the form of an enormous sloping grand piano.

Perhaps Russia’s most famous punk band,  Grazhdanskaya oborona  (Civil Defence), was formed here in 1982. The band was active until 2008 when lead singer Yegor Letov died of heart failure at age 43. Letov is buried at the Staro-Vostochnoe cemetery. A sprawling graveyard with thousands of graves, fans should stop at the administration for help in locating his grave.

In Russia, Omsk is known among the younger, tech-savvy generation primarily because of the “Omsk bird,” also known as Winged Doom. The origin of what became one of Russia’s most ubiquitous memes comes from a painting by German artist Heiko  Müller. One day in 2009 an Internet user posted this painting with the line, “Welcome to Omsk,” at the top. Additional versions menace viewers stating, “Don't try to leave Omsk,” and “Omsk is closer than you think.” Like many popular memes on the Internet, this one went viral and has become something like an unofficial symbol of the city.
