How to move a mattress...

Moving?

Don't know how to prepare those mattresses for the move?

Well first, check with the moving company you are using to see if they provide free shrink wrap for your mattresses.

If not, you can ask them the cost they charge for their mattress covers (like the ones seen in the photos above), they are usually under $10 a piece. You may find them cheaper at another place like Home Depot, a UHaul Store, or elsewhere. Remember to get one for your mattress as well as for your box spring if your bed has one.

Your movers will wrap your headboards and footboards with padded moving blankets, shrink wrap and tape to protect them during the move.

It's a good idea to provide the movers with zip lock baggies labeled for each bed to place your screws from the bed in, then have one person, either yourself, or your foreman keep the baggies in one spot so they don't get lost when it's time to put the beds back together again. This is also helpful for any other furniture that the movers may need to disassemble and reassemble.

Hope this little tidbit was helpful! Keep a watchful eye for more tips to come!
