Moving is always a stressful experience, and one of the most challenging items to move is undoubtedly the mattress. Whether you’re moving to a new apartment or house, here are some of the hurdles you might face when transporting a mattress, and tips on how to make it a smoother process.
- Size and Bulkiness
Mattresses are large, heavy, and difficult to maneuver, especially when navigating narrow hallways, doorways, or staircases. Measure your mattress and the spaces through which it needs to pass. It’s also a good idea to have extra hands to help.
- Protecting the Mattress
When moving a mattress, you must ensure it doesn’t get damaged or dirty. Invest in a mattress bag or cover. These protective covers will shield the mattress from dirt, dust, and any potential moisture. Make sure the cover is durable and fits the mattress snugly.
If you don’t have a truck, consider renting a moving van or hiring professional movers. They can secure the mattress properly, ensuring it stays in place throughout the journey. If you’re using your own vehicle, tie the mattress securely to prevent any movement during transit.
- Handling Heavier Mattresses
If you have a thicker or heavier mattress, the added weight can make the move even more challenging. Use proper lifting techniques, such as bending your knees and keeping your back straight, to avoid injury. If possible, consider using a dolly or a mattress moving strap to make lifting and transporting the mattress easier.
- Storage and Storing Your Mattress
Store your mattress on a flat surface in a dry area. Avoid placing heavy items on top of it, and, if possible, store it in a cool, dry place to prevent any moisture buildup.
When in doubt, don’t hesitate to ask for help from friends, family, or professional movers.
