So, you've finally decided to part ways with that old, lumpy spring mattress taking up precious space in your home. If you've realized that hauling a bulky mattress to the dump isn't as easy as it sounds, you're not alone. Enter the art of mattress dismantling - or as we like to call it, "The Mattress Make-Under."
Sometimes, you don't want to throw the whole thing away. Maybe you want to repurpose part of it, or maybe you just need to make it small enough to fit in your disposal vehicle. Can you cut a spring mattress to make it smaller? The answer is yes - with some caveats.
While it may sound straightforward, cutting a mattress can be a tough job. It requires time, patience, and the proper tools. Furthermore, once you cut it, you've essentially killed any resale or donation value the mattress might have had.
Perhaps you're eyeing those springs for a DIY project. But how do you cut a mattress spring without wrecking it - or worse, injuring yourself?
