Foam Mattress into Couch?

We’ve changed beds and we have this great mattress and a cool kids nook in the basement that would be a perfect spot for a floor couch. I’ve tried googling a variety of phrases around this and have come up empty — but has anyone ever partially sliced into a foam mattress (ours is a Leesa) in half or thirds to make it fold more easily? It would be great to keep the thing as an additional sleeping option for guests with kids, but I would want it to almost be like a bigger, comfier Pottery Barn nugget kind of thing. My cut says if it’s like 8” thick that I can probably cut 6” deep so it can fold upwards into a 110° or something and then those last 2” will keep it together enough to unfold back into a bed when needed. What do you think? submitted by /u/Useful_Welder_4269 [link] [comments]
