Lawrence County Mattress Moving

Moving your mattress is not easy. Mattresses are heavy, they are cumbersome to lift and sometimes they even flop around when you are carrying them down the stairway. But moving a mattress does not need to be a disaster. If you are relocating your mattress to a different house, you will probably want to wrap the mattress in a mattress moving bag, that you can get with the other moving supplies.

The first thing that you need to do when you are trying to move a mattress is to secure it to the floor. You can do this by putting a mattress protector on top of the old mattress. This will help protect the mattress from the jostling floor traffic as well as from scratches and marks. But if you want the mattress to stay put, you will need to use some other methods as well. Some people use duct tape to temporary fix their mattresses to the floor, but I find it messy and I would rather keep my old mattress.

For temporary mattress moving, I recommend the strap system that is used for temporary bed moving cases. The mattress straps are padded and will prevent your mattress from moving around while you move it. The mattress straps simply zip up around your mattress and tie around your body to keep it in place. These straps can either come individually or you can get ones that tie with straps that snap together. The drawback to this system is that your mattress will be heavier than if you had just brought an old mattress without the extra weight.

Another option is to use dollies. Dollies look like big cushions that fit over your entire mattress and are used for temporary relocation cases. These are very lightweight and portable. Just like the mattress straps, these also tie down the mattress with cords but the cords are not as obvious. They are hidden under the mattress and are easily removed by you or the truck driver. Again, you are going to be carrying a large amount of weight on your shoulders so this may not be the best solution.

If you cannot move a mattress using one of these methods, movers have other options. One of the most popular is the air-lift truck. This kind of moving method involves pushing a mattress into the air and lifting it up to the moving truck. Then the movers strap the mattress down and move it along using cranes and other lifting devices. These are great for cases when you can not move a mattress or are not comfortable carrying it around. However, if you are moving a large amount of weight, it may not be the best solution.

If you do not want either of these options and would prefer to move your mattress by flatbed conveyor, most movers have flatbed conveyor trucks available at their disposal. This is a special moving device that is made to move a mattress in one smooth motion. The only drawback of this type of moving method is that it can cost quite a bit more than moving using regular trucks and even more than moving on your own.

All three methods described above use a common foundation that is used to transport a mattress. Movers will use special truck beds that have special frames and are wider than traditional flatbed beds. A box spring will also be required. All of these moving supplies can be found at any moving supply store.

The last major product you need to purchase when you move a mattress is packing tape. You will want to wrap your mattress in packing tape before the movers begin tearing down your old bed. Packing tape helps to protect your mattress from being damaged as well as help to protect your belongings from the floor. This is especially important if you do not have any boxes or bags available to you.
