How do I Shorten Box Springs?

There are many reasons for wanting to shorten a box spring. Some people feel that their beds are a little too high. If a box spring is too tall for a frame, it may be necessary to buy a new frame. However, there are a few options you can try first. If you don't have access to a spring press, you should probably invest in a low-profile box spring.

Instructions

- 1
  Place the box spring in a centered position on the bed, without the mattress.
- 2
  Put the box spring press on top of the box spring and connect it to the power source. The rails should move simultaneously out from the middle across the box spring, compressing it and applying force on the edges.
- 3
  Check the box spring for compression. It should be significantly shorter. If it isn't compressed enough, do not attempt to repress the box spring; it may cause damage.
