After you packed up your mattress, you may need to put it in or on the car or move it up stairs. These videos will show you how. Or you use one of these vacuum pack mattress bags.

Put the mattress bag on, push the bed against the wall, put a ratchet under the bed on both sides. I folded the bed in half and while laying on it and I started winding up the ratchet. Super easy and fast. I fit the mattress in the back of my Kia Optima. No rope needed. Pushed it against a wall so it wouldn’t move.
I'm moving out for the first time and at the new place I'm living in the bedroom is essentially a remodeled basement, so the only way to access it was through a narrow staircase with a 90 degree turn.... I was losing hope on the mattress, but then I found this video! Thank you so much for this!
Thank you guys so much. Yall just saved me, and saved me money. You two made my day from me having a bad week. This is the first bed I ever bought. Its a king memory foam bed. I dont have a car n not that much money. I thought i would have to get a truck to move my bed. Now I can call a friend and it can go in the suv. Love u guys. Thank u so much
1:25 Method1. Mattress bag 3.5mil thickness. Other supplies needed... 2:05 Rope. 2:20 Tie Down Straps (Ratchet Straps). You can buy at a hardware store. 2:40 Mattress bag method. Put mattress into mattress bag first, then fold. 3:20 Link to mattress bag $5 in the description. Put mattress into mattress bag. 3:40 Fold mattress in half. 3:45 Slide rope under your folded mattress. 3:50 Taut line hitch knot. Regular half hitch, but loop it around one more time, then oop around to the top of the know and do one more half hitch. This type of knot allows you to tighten or loosen the rope around the mattress. 4:50 Rotate so the ends of the folded mattress are pointing upward. This allows you to use the rope itself as handles to carry the folded mattress. 5:20 Can use tie-down (ratchet straps) instead of the rope. 5:40 Method2 Use Painters Plastic. Get thicker one, at least 3.5mil thickness. Measuring tape. Scissors. Tape gun. 6:20 This method needs tie down (ratchet straps) also. 6:30 Need to unroll 7feet of plastic for a twin, 8ft for a Queen, 9ft for a King. Fold mattress in half. Tie rope on the inside of the plastic if you have tie downs for the outside. Tie rope on the outside of the plastic if you don't have a set of tie downs to act as handles on the outside. Wrap up the folded mattress in the plastic like you would wrap a present. 9:30 Method3: Use a clean tarp.
Thank you so much for this. It worked. I'm a single woman and I was able to do it all by myself. I used the mattress bag, rope, and heavy duty scotch tape. It wasn't even that heavy once it was folded in half, I put it on a dolly and was out of there! Thanks again!
I have a queen I have to move from the garage to the bedroom, I can now do it without going all the way around to the front door I never thought of folding it but that will totally work for me, by the way, I am 76 and I know I can do this !! So here goes I have 2 new straps I just bought perfect timing,
Thank you both so so much for making this video! My friend and I just used your advice from this video and the "How to Move a King Size Mattress Up Stairs By Yourself" video. For me, it was moving a Queen size mattress (15" thickness & 48lbs) from a first floor in one building, to a fifth floor in another. Using the method with the mattress bag, then folding in half, then using tie down straps to hold it together made the process SO EASY for us. From your other video, we then used the roll-up-the-stairs method up the five flights because my building has no elevator...yeeeeeeaaaaaaahhh...adventure?? Nonetheless, we were able to move it so fast! I just can't thank you enough for helping us make this excursion so much more doable than I could have imagined!
You gals are AMAZING!! Thank you SO much. Even though it was hard, we used your method to move a King memory foam bed from one house to another. With minimal arguing. It made it SO much easier to get it where we needed it on top of the box springs. Thank you!!
For quite a while now I've seen them send mattress in boxes now and still it never occurred to me that my very own mattress could be folded for easy transport.... haha
I used this method on my ikea mattress yesterday. Worked a charm. Had to use painters plastic and tape. But make sure you buy extra good packing tape! The stuff I bought was absolute trash and came apart.
You're welcome. I've done this to fit a king size mattress in a small U-Haul too. It's even tough to fit a queen size in a regular van without folding it. Happy i helped!
Thanks for the video!! It was very clear and well done, and I especially appreciated the explanation of how to tie a taut line hitch: it worked like a charm :)
Thanks for the video! My wife and I did this with a king size all-foam mattress that’s about 15 inches thick. We got it folded, but when I went to grab some ratchet straps - the mattress threw my wife right out the 3rd floor window... No, but seriously, the fold and strap method worked great for us. Tried it with the mattress on the bed- no go. Had to get it on the floor, folded it, and pulled 2 ratchet straps right at each end. Now we had half the size to deal with, PLUS handles! Gotta love handles! Not that I have love handles, I’m just saying handles are cool.
Not only compliments but funny jokes too. Although the part about your wife being taken out by a mattress sacred me for a second! I'm happy she's ok and that the method worked well for you!
All this time I thought getting a mattress pad was enough. The fact that the footprint on the moving truck could have been smaller makes me want to take my mattress off the bed and try it now. By the way, this is my second video that I've watched. I've found you'll by the review on the andCollar review when you showed how the shirts didn't stain. Subscribed because of the usefulness.
I can appreciate your enthusiasm but it makes me laugh that you want to try it. I've got to do this to move a heavy latex mattress this weekend and I don't want to. Moving it upstairs and into the car. Without folding it, it would be so much more work. To me, saying that you found out videos useful is one of the best compliments. Thank you for taking the time to tell us.
Thank you for your video. Without watching this there's no way we can buy and bring the mattress home ourselves. We would have to pay $150 extra online and $75 delivery. Just attracted a few eyeballs when we did it at the store but it saved us money 👍🏻
This video is still one of my favorites because of how this one and our mattress cleaning one have saved our viewers so much money, shame and stress! I’ve used them myself several times.

You're welcome. People have taught me knots and I couldn't get it. I was a girl scout but this part didn't stick. This knot works for me, ha ha ha! Happy it helped you, too!
Hey cheers, that's pretty much the method I'd planned to use myself but it's nice to get some confirmation that it works. I seem to remember my mattress came rolled (obviously done by a machine), does the 'bend' in the middle of your version not damage the springs in the middle of the mattress, I would have thought that inner line of springs on the crease would be under extreme pressure, the rest hardly under any stress at all! Knots advice especially useful. This mattress seems to be very close to the variety I've got, basically the cheapest quality mattress I could find from Ikea.
You can do more of a taco fold so it's bowed and not tightly closed together at the end. Since we can't rest it on all mattresses we can't guarantee it won't hurt it. But I did this many times to foam and spring mattresses.
Okay... I have a questions... what happens if the bed is just straight up coil/springs? can't really be going and folding the bed like that? you know? Basically screws up the bed
Awesome! I was wondering about this as I have a mattress and I am moving in a month. My mattress is part of a sofa bed so naturally folds in half. I just hope i can find painters plastic or a mattress bag in Korea.
Hmmm. Only one question 🙋♂️. What about mattress were the company that says your not to fold again once you open for the first time? If you do , it voids your warranty?
It can void your warrant along with a number of any other things. So if your mattress is still under warranty or you don’t want to take the rush then don’t fold it. Tears, stains, etc can also. Really, it’s for manufacturing defects or more dramatic issues like dips that are 2 inches or more deep. But yes, consult your warranty.
Does this work only for memory foam? I have a 10 inch hybrid mattress and I would like to move soon, but I can't drive a Uhaul myself, so, I was thinking on using an uber with this method...
Thanks for the wonderful information. Who knew you could fold a mattress? My wife was amazed. I told her two voluptuous women taught me this mattress trick🤔😳
This is a very late comment. But I have a Hesstun mattress from IKEA with measurements Length: 79 1/2 " Width: 59 7/8 " Thickness: 12 5/8 " It’s a euro top and on the website it says pocket spring and memory foam. Would this method work for moving it and if not how should I move it?
Great Awesome demo. Thanks!!!. May I know was the mattress you demonstrated a FULL / Queen. About time for the unexpected move. your video lessened my stress of moving the mattress. Cant wait to try it. Thanks in advance.
To be honest I'm not sure. If it was rolled up it should be ok. My only concern is that Ikea mattresses can be cheaply constructed. I took one apart that was only a year old. It was already lumpy. Mostly springs. Honestly if you can avoid it I wouldn't.
@@CleanFreakGermaphobe Thank you for the reply. I think I would avoid folding it then. What do you think of compressing it using vaccum in mattress sealable bag ? It is king size and heavy , so I am thinking of ways to avoid carrying it as it is 😃
