Moving a mattress to a new place might be challenging. Sometimes, people even consider purchasing a new one rather than transferring the old one. Honestly, buying new mattresses online relieves you of the bother of moving if your old one is in bad shape and needs to be replaced.
But if buying a new mattress in the middle of a move is not convenient, required, or economical then shifting the mattress just tops the moving-to-do list.
Therefore, we bring you some tips on how to transfer a mattress to reduce your burden. Read the complete article to know more.
Measure the Size of the Mattress and New Place
Measure your mattress before moving it to be sure it will fit in the new location. Moreover, make sure you can fit the mattress through the entrances, hallways, and staircase by taking their measurements as well.
Ensure to Clean and Sanitize the Mattress
To get rid of any dirt, dust, or debris that may have accumulated on your king-size or queen-size mattress throughout its use, carefully clean and sanitize it. Any stains you find can be spot cleaned, vacuumed, or cleaned with a steam cleaner.
Wrap it Smartly
Use a mattress bag or cover to preserve your mattress during the relocation. Make sure to tape the bag or seal it to keep it from slipping off while being transported.
Transfer it Carefully
Shift the mattress carefully to prevent any damage. To make shifting easier, you can use a hand truck or a dolly. In case you don't have a dolly or hand truck, then carry it with a group of people. Make sure to lift the mattress from the button and not the sides. Also do not bend or fold it.
Load It onto the Truck
Be certain to carefully load the mattress onto the moving vehicle or a truck and fasten it strongly in order to prevent it from shifting while being transported
Unwrap and Set It
Unpack the mattress and place it in its new place when you get there. Ensure to clean the surface before placing it and give it enough time to air out before using.
If you have a memory foam mattress and need to transfer it then you can fold it in half or roll it up for easy transportation. Just keep in mind to keep it horizontal for shifting to avoid any damage.
