@Region Philbis,

I don't care about the particulars regarding the pair of cutters I bought, like having to use them at a weird angel as you claim. I'm happy as long as I can trim the coils sticking out of my mattress.

The eBay vendor I bought the pair of cutters from confirmed it will cut the coils in my mattress. The coils are between 2 and 3 mm thick.

The snips arrived in the mail. I was able to trim the coils sticking out of the top of my mattress with no problem. I don't have anything sticking me when I'm trying to sleep now.

I had no idea what 'snips' were.

They sound like something you'd get in cheese 'n onion or salt 'n vinegar flavour.

We call them wirecutters.

Thanks for sorting that out, because all this time I was convinced you were trying to cut your bedsprings with a tasty snack.

@izzythepush,

We Americans call cutters "snips".

Really?

I would never have known.

Thanks for sorting that out because I thought you used crisps as tools and consumed hammers and screwdrivers for your tea.

Let me put it another way.

I don't need you to point out the flaming obvious.
