{Tips & Tricks}Online Mattress Moving Tip/Trick

Have or ordered one of the many mattress options out there being sold online?  They are so convenient because they are delivered  right to your door. We ordered our Nectar mattress over a year ago and still love it.  If you remember, the king size  mattress  was  delivered looking like this and was taller than Mr. Click at 6'2". 

Around the same time City Girl was moving to another apartment #havelostcount and needed a new mattress so we ordered her a queen size.  It's fairly easy to get it into a space but what happens when it's time to move it to a new place? Especially one that has five narrow flights of stairs.  I was picturing lots of "PIVOT"!! 

(Fun thing:  Google Ross Geller and click on the little sofa under his name).

These mattresses are heavy and big and we were worried about moving hers.  Luckily she found this video on youtube that gave us hope.

Their trick was to put the mattress into a plastic mattress bag (available to UHaul stores and places like Home Depot for under $10)  then seal it up with packing tape and remove the air back out of it with a vacuum cleaner.   For more  detail you can watch the video.  

Amazing, it actually worked!!

 Then it can be rolled up and taped for transport! (Not recommended for long term storage).  It was so much easier to pack and transport (those five flights of steps were not easy though!)  Once we got it back on her bed and took the plastic off, it went popped right back to it's original shape.  This was a lifesaver for us so we didn't have to rent a truck for the move.
