Remove all bedding and pillows from the mattress.
1. Start by moving the mattress away from the bed frame. If you have a memory foam or foam mattress, you may want to place it in a mattress bag before transporting it.
2. Once the mattress is free from the bed frame, take any pillows or bedding off of it. These can be placed in a separate box or bag for easy transport.
3. If you have a memory foam mattress, be sure to secure the sides and corners before moving it. This will prevent the foam from tearing or being damaged during transport.
4. When moving the mattress to your new home, be sure to place it on its side in the moving truck so that it doesn’t get damaged. A king size mattress may need two people to move it safely into the truck.
5. Finally, clear a path from your front door to where the mattress will be placed in your new home so that there are no obstacles in the way. Once everything is ready, carefully move your mattress into its new spot and enjoy!
Fold the mattress in half or in thirds, depending on its size.
Moving a mattress may seem like a daunting task, but with a little planning it can be easily accomplished. Whether you’re moving your mattress on your own or hiring professional movers, there are a few things to keep in mind to make the process as smooth as possible.
If you’re moving your mattress on your own, the first step is to secure the mattress so it doesn’t move around during transport. The best way to do this is to fold the mattress in half or in thirds, depending on its size. Once it’s folded, tie it securely with rope or straps.
Once the mattress is secured, you can then begin moving it. If you’re using a pickup truck, place the mattress on its side in the bed of the truck. If you’re carrying the mattress by hand, hold it against your chest with one arm and use your other arm to steady it from below.
When you reach your destination, place the mattress on top of something soft like blankets or pillows to prevent any damage. If you’re hiring professional movers, they will likely have their own methods for securing and transporting the mattress. In any case, following these guidelines will help ensure that your move goes smoothly and that your mattress arrives safely at its new home.
Carry the mattress with another person or with a furniture dolly.
1. You will need another person to help you carry the mattress. Place the mattress at the top of any stairs.
2. If there is no one to help you, then you will need to use a furniture dolly. Position the dolly at the edge of the mattress.
3. Carefully tilt the mattress onto the dolly, being sure to keep it balanced. Wheels on the dolly should be locked into place before attempting this step.
4. Slowly and carefully walk backwards down any stairs, making sure that the front wheels of the dolly are going down first.5. When you reach your destination, simply reverse these steps to get the mattress off of the furniture dolly and into place
Place the mattress in the new room and unfold it.

3. Once the mattress is in place, begin unfolding it from one end to the other. Be sure to smooth out any wrinkles or creases as you go.
4. Once it is fully unfolded, take a few steps back and make sure that it looks level and even on all sides.
5. If everything looks good, congratulations! You’ve successfully moved and unfolded your mattress with minimal hassle.
