Cutting and Folding a Box Spring

Step 3Fold it in half

Fold it in half
Using a doorframe or other straight fulcrum, carefully bend the box spring in half along the exact middle of the top side. Guide the top fabric to slip off the corners of the wooden frame. Once the thick steel wire is partially bent, move it against a wall and fold it the rest of the way. This is a good job for two people, to keep it from springing back and hitting someone.

Have one person hold the box spring while the second person ties it shut with rope or twine. Now you should have a nice, compact package that is easy to transport up stairs, around corners, in the back of a vehicle, etc.

Don't leave it in this state for too long, though. It's possible that the wire would lose its springiness and be warped upon reconstruction.
