How To Make A Couch From A Twin Mattress

Twin mattresses can be used to make a couch. Work with both a twin and twin XL. Make sure your existing twin mattress is not damaged or sagging. If it is, the couch will not support your tailbone, hips, and lower back.

Here are six steps to turn your mattress into a couch:

1. Measure the mattress.
2. Remove the springs.
3. Get a frame that fits the mattress.
4. Create the cover.
5. Sew the inner part of the mattress.
6. You will need to sew the cover over the mattress.

Note: It is not the best idea to turn your old twin mattress into a couch. The old mattress is likely not to hold up anyway, and it may break down even further if it is a couch (more concentrated weight and pressure). Instead, you'd be better off investing your time in finding the right mattress.

Here are a few things you can do with your old twin mattress instead of turning it into a couch:

• Donate to a local Goodwill or Salvation Army.
• Dispose of or recycle by contacting your local disposal companies.
• When you buy a new mattress, you can pay for mattress removal (so you don't have to worry about it). For example, when the Saatva Classic is delivered, you can pay $35 for mattress removal.
