I used a similar product, and found it easiest to roll as I vacuumed. When it first starts to compress, start rolling, add a weight or person ontop [or underneath one side if just starting). Doing it like this removed more air than doing it flat, because it causes a void around the valve where air can easily be sucked out. Remember to take breaks to allow your vacuum to cool.
I'd also assume this works better on 100% foam mattresses since there aren't any spring and other non foam components in them. I am surprised how flat they got it.
Hey there! Couple of questions. Does your hybrid contain springs? I see some hybrids don’t (mind does) and I want to vacuum seal mine if possible for an upcoming move. Were any of the springs displaced because of the vacuum seal? Did the bag maintain its seal for your trip? Thanks!
6hp vacuum cleaner not everyone has or can afford it but yeah that's the key to compress mattress properly - bags do 10% work, vacuum cleaner and forces do 90%.
Thanks for making this video and showing me that it's not just me who struggles with this. I have a 12-inch memory foam mattress I tried something similar with that I left sealing for ~3 hours and got to around...maybe 3? But I didn't roll it up because my roommate said it should be flatter, and it re-inflated overnight. I see I should just let it get back to that point and force him to help me, haha.
You’re welcome. I really expected it to be easier! Yes, get him to help you!! A regular mattress bag, fold the mattress in half and tie it works best. For a foam mattress.
That helped me. I've ordered a new mattress that's been vacuum sealed and was worried it was too narrow. I know know that happens when it's vacuum sealed. I can breathe easy again as I just lugged it up three flights of stairs and don't want to have to return it.
Show the detail of where you put in the vacuum hose. You definitely can squish out a lot more air. Suction it with mattress on floor so you can walk it constantly to squeeze out all the air. Put the straps around it before you roll it up and kneel on it and put all your weight on it as you're rolling it and then cinch the straps
I have a few questions since I am moving next week and need to do this for FedEx Home Pickup. I have an IKEA firm spring hybrid mattress. I am wondering if this would work. 1) What vacuum are you using? 2) Why are you walking on the mattress? LOL I love how strong you are. I wish I had your strength. I love that we can do this by ourselves. Thanks for this video. Girl Power!
I think it would work with an Ikea mattress HOWEVER, the ones I've seen are really cheaply made. I'd be afraid it would ruin it. I knew I took a chance on this one and sometimes I wonder if I should've done it with a hybrid. But I really really wanted to know if it would work. For about 3 years I folded hybrids in half to move them, like a taco and I didn't see damage. That gave me confidence. But it was only with mattresses that came rolled in a box. So they're made to be rolled. Ideally you only do this with a foam mattress. In other words, do it at your own risk. 1 - Oh man, I can't recall but it was an upright one that I borrowed from a friend. 2- I'm trying to get out more air, but I'm not sure it helped Thank you, I have lifted and moved a lot of mattresses, frames, boxes...it's my weightlifting. Your comments made my day!
To comress it more have several friends lay on the matress once you get to the 80% mark or place a 4x8 sheet of plywood on it and weight it down with a couple of hundred pounds.
It's a lot of work, I tried it again today and I couldn't get compressed enough to roll it. Too bad I don't have a bunch of people to lay on it but your comment makes me want to try it.
Hi! Just wanted to ask/make sure, this mattress is a hybrid (foam-spring combo)? I have a basically brand new dreamcloud hybrid and keep seeing mixed reviews about being able to vacuum seal hybrids and potentially displacing the springs.
It could and I mention that. I folded mattresses with springs to move them for years. They were mostly bed in a box type mattresses which come flattened and rolled up. These bags are meant for all foam mattresses. I wanted to test it on a thick mattress with springs.
Please help . Mine is puffy lux queen moving out of state ? And planning to use vacuum bag. do you think it'd damage it ? Have you ever tried compressing Puffy matters ? how did it go ? How long compressed mattresses should stay ?
It’s my opinion that it will work but I would leave it flat and not roll or fold it. I have compressed a Puffy but not the lux. I would try not to leave it there for long. However, I folded mattresses of all kinds for 3 years and they’d stay rolled for a month or longer. It’s just not advised by the bag company to us for spring mattresses. My point is, I would, but I can’t say for sure if you should. Or in other words, at your risk.
It took a while. I should’ve timed it. But it will also depend on your vacuum suction and how well it fits the valve. Overall, it was harder to use than I expected.
There are a lot of types but the ones that come rolled in a box should work - because they were tightly rolled and they're usually not as thick. The mattress in the video has springs but the company doesn't advise it.
I wouldn't store it that way, just long enough to move it. If you have an all foam mattress you could leave it for a few months (at your own risk, this is not tested, only what I've read).
It's harder and only for thinner mattresses that came rolled up. But that's why I tested it on a spring mattress. It worked great, just harder to roll.
This method is not suitable for frameless (without spring) mattresses. Without a spring, the mattress will become smaller in length, width and height. The mattress cannot be rolled after a vacuum. It won't work out. I tried.
A good way to destroy a spring mattress. Compressing a spring mattress short-term might work but not roiling it or bending it in half will 100% damage any spring-loaded mattresses.
*The thumbnail is 100% clickbait.* "This into this " showing paper thin strapped up..... whatever that is. When the reality was *nothing* like that. And two of you struggled to get it strapped, 10 x thicker than that picture. sigh... 😒
My photoshop skills aren't great and there was not an easy to way to show the goal or what the product does. I ask if it works in the title. I could've put a question mark on the thumbnail but it would give away the results of the test!
