We spend a lot of money on mattresses. But when they’re done, they’re done. Or are they? When your mattress becomes too uncomfortable to sleep on anymore there are still ways that you can continue to use that mattress.

The inside of your planter can be used to create a beautiful garden planter. Just pull away all the fabric to reveal the inner frame and springs. Place it on the wall and fill the spring holes with tiny plants.
