How to protect your mattress when moving

When we consider a change of home, the dreaded moment of organizing the move arises. Over the years, we may have collected many belongings, among which are some large ones that make it difficult to pack and transport.

Each element of the movie needs a different treatment. In addition, the fragility of each thing will need specific packaging to guarantee that they do not suffer any damage during the transfer.

The problem comes when we talk about large items, such as mattresses, that frequently arrive dirty or torn after the move. Therefore, it is advisable to follow some simple guidelines that will extend the life of our rest set for this simple advice when facing a move.

• Wrap the mattress: Make sure to protect the mattress well. Use a plastic roll or a canvas used as a base for tents, cover it and avoid possible dirt and moisture. If a mattress gets wet, it must be aired to dry completely before use. The surface of the mattress must be well covered as well as the sides and corners. You should use mattress bags for moving. The idea is not to drag it.
• Placing blankets under the mattress: To get extra protection for the rest equipment, you can place blankets at the bottom to prevent movement inside the truck during the transfer.
• Choose a closed-moving vehicle: If it falls within your budget, hire a vehicle with a covered surface. In this way, you will avoid inclement weather. If this is impossible, plan your moving day to coincide with a day without rain.
• Place the mattress between two pieces of furniture: If the mattress is placed between two pieces of furniture, in addition to preventing it from suffering blows inside the vehicle, it will be protected from damage that other furniture/items may cause that may move and impact the mattress.
• If the mattress is going to stay in a storage room for a while, you must tell the agency not to place any weight on the mattress.
• And a very important one: during transport, it is not advisable to fold the mattress if the interior is spring.
