Hi. I sleep on an old mattress but some of the metal coils in the mattress have pierced the top of the mattress and stick me when I am trying to sleep. I need to trim the coils so they stop sticking me. What's the best kind of snips to get?

Please help. Thank you.

Please help - I want to order the snips off of eBay or Amazon or any other online retailer that sells snips cheap ASAP.

Heavy Duty Diagonal Cutters – make sure they're big enough because they make small ones for precision work which won't cut spring steel

@hightor,

Thank you for responding. Mattress coils are made of spring steel?

Spring steel is a name given to a wide range of steels used in the manufacture of different products, including swords, saw blades, springs and many more. These steels are generally low-alloy manganese, medium-carbon steel or high-carbon steel with a very high yield strength. This allows objects made of spring steel to return to their original shape despite significant deflection or twisting.

I've used a hacksaw on many a mattress.
