Shoes With A Bit Of Bounce
There were 249 of these [springs] in the mattress. That was too many to throw away, so I tried to think of a good project to re-use some of them. What I came up with were spring-soled shoes. I coiled 5 bedsprings together with some of the other bed-wire and hot-glued them to a pair of Converse low-tops.

This part was funny:
Mattress marketing concentrates on how comfortable the beds are for sleep. Strange that cars, clothes, liquor, medicine, cosmetics and tiny, wireless video cameras are sold with sex, but mattresses are marketed with sleep.
