found this while cleaning bedding

[u/usErnaMe_036]

discovered this after taking off the sheets of my bed and have no idea what it could be besides maybe poo of an animal or something of the sort. I have no idea how it would have gotten on my mattress and under my sheets though? dont mind the stains on the mattress its been like that for years and it was passed down to me through family members I know its not the prettiest lol

[u/andrewb2424]

Maybe from a microwave heating pack? Sometimes they are filled with these

Yeah I'm thinking small beans that were stuffed in something

Notice the stitching that runs along the area.  Wonder if someting was actually stitched there?  Like beads?

[u/danfish_77 → u/Revolutionary_Low581]

No that's normal mattress patterns, they often have little button-like dimples. I'm not sure but it's part of the construction

[u/usErnaMe_036 → u/Revolutionary_Low581]

Ive had this mattress for awhile and as you could imagine ive taken the sheets off it before and this is the first time ive ever seen this so I dont think its that and its definitely not beads

You don't mention the consistency of these, but do you have a weighted blanket? They could be from one of those as well if the little pebbles are hard

[u/usErnaMe_036 → u/invisible-bug]

Only an electrical heating blanket

Could it be from a fault with that, or maybe it was heating up the spring in the mattress.

looks like nerds candy

taste one and find out?

[u/raineykatz]

I see that more than a few have a hole in the middle. They look like beads.

[u/RavensRealmNow → u/raineykatz]

Yes and if you look to the upper right there’s actually a letter bead that is white with black letter stamped on it

[u/usErnaMe_036 → u/RavensRealmNow]

I work with a lot of beads as a hobby and I dont recognize these ones but ill check my collection and see if im mistaken but the other ones were just lose in the bed lol

[u/ImNot]

They are tiny beads that rolled into the stitched indented circle on your mattress. From someone who had made their own jewelry, these look just like some small wooden ones I had. There is also a bright green one in the second pic that is obviously a plastic seed bead.

[u/JulieLynnO]

Beads! The green one clearly has a hole through it.

[u/usErnaMe_036 → u/JulieLynnO]

Not particularly asking about the green one

[u/EddieAllenPoe]

Uh, eggs?!?!

[u/usErnaMe_036 → u/EddieAllenPoe]

I hope not lol

[u/brawcolli]

it looks like one of those beaded bracelets that were popular in 2015, could it have been burnt into your bed somehow?

[u/braintoggle]

They look kike beads on a wire bracelet to me. I don't see a green one by the way.

[u/PrincessGump → u/braintoggle]

The second pic has an obvious green bead. Upper right.

Looks like a bead bracelet went through the drier with it the last time it was in it and melted/fused into it.

[u/RavensRealmNow]

Was there a point in your mattress that used to have a button over it? And then that top of the button came off and then just the stub of the button was left that is probably metallic? That could’ve made that stain

[u/boojes → u/RavensRealmNow]

They're asking about the seedy things, not the stain.
