Pack Memory Foam Mattress For Moving

Most of the foam mattresses have a high-density foam and folding them would not damage the foam. The solid foam, memory foam mattress or solid latex mattress can be bent or folded to accommodate a move. Obviously, the mattress box for folded or banded foam mattresses is different from the other types of mattress boxes. You have to fold it or bent before you buy the box to define the measurements of it.  The other steps of preparation for moving are the same.

Separately, it should be said how to move a queen size mattress. The queen size mattress is very big awkwardly shaped, bulky and very inconvenient for moving around. You will need to prepare the following equipment:

  • huge mattress bag;
  • huge mattress box;
  • huge friend;
  • moving straps, ropes and packing tape.

When you collect all of this you have to follow the paragraphs 6-10. Actually, the processes of packing and moving are the same as for normal size mattress but because of the huge size, it will be harder for amateur stevedores.
