You may not be able to recycle your worn out mattress but you can turn the mattress frame into a book shelf by following this how-to guide from Instructables.

Step 1: You will need the following to complete this project —

1) Mattress box frame
2) Flathead screwdriver, hammer, pliers, measuring tape, and pencil
3) Approximately (16) 1.25″ Wood screws
4) Some sort of saw to cut wood (precisely!)
5) Drill
6) Sander, stain, and varnish….if you like pretty things.

A T-square also makes drawing lines easier, but is definitely not necessary.

Follow this, more after the jump.
