Cutting and Folding a Box Spring

Step 2 Cut the dust cover and frame

Find the center of the box spring, and cut the dust cover with your scissors or knife. Tuck each half of the dust cover into the springs on either end to get it out of the way.

Moving the top fabric out of the way, saw through the wood frame on each side. Your box spring is finally flexible! If all you need is to be able to bend it around a corner, you can skip the next step.
