What to make from an old mattress and springs from it

Many old items seem like junk to people. But if you look at them from a different angle, they can be a godsend. A regular mattress is useful for many things.

This is the name of the panel used for room decoration and storage of things. The spring frame will be a godsend for the designer. Using the same principle, a mattress can be used to create a desktop or place old photos.

Everything is simple here too. Where necessary - cut, in other places - hem. It's worth the effort, but there is a downside - the process will take a lot of time.

New mattress

If the product is not yet very old, but only the upholstery has deteriorated, you can reupholster it. All you need is new fabric, a stapler or hammer, nails or staples.

First, the old upholstery is removed in the garage or outside. Then the internal structure is cleaned of dust and dirt. All that remains is to do the tightening. To do this, the structure is covered with lining and then finishing fabric. Then you need to tighten and secure it. If the springs are not damaged, rather than buying a new mattress, it is better to simply improve the old one.
