How do I deconstruct this vintage sofa to turn into a queen headboard?

This vintage sofa would look so inviting as a queen headboard. I’m thinking ‘hollowing“ it out and adding a mattress support and I’d love to use the front as a decorative piece to the bed to tie it in. I’d also want to repurpose the cushions as pillows and bolsters.

    This lady did something similar and it turned out beautifully. Maybe it will give you some ideas - http://chezlin.com/for-the-home/tufted-headboard-from-an-ugly-couch/. Your couch isn't ugly though it's beautiful

      I think it's an absolutely stunning idea Don. I'd love to see how yours turns out and hopefully you'll share a tutorial on hometalk too so others can see how you did it

    The curved back looks like it would make a cozy headboard, but I am wondering how the inside width, what is presently the seating area, will accommodate a queen-sized mattress..... Is it too narrow or too wide?
    Before you start sawing the couch apart, measure twice to be sure that it can fit a queen mattress. Cutting into a mattress will damage its integrity, and bedding for a non-standard sized mattress/bed will be difficult find. The bottom fitted sheets will most likely have to be custom made.
