Can You Fold A Memory Foam Mattress

No. You cannot fold a memory foam mattress for long periods of time.

Cheap foams? Maybe. But not premium foams with at least a 4 lb foam density core.

The Loom and Leaf is a good example of a high-quality foam mattress that cannot be folded for more than a few hours.

It is not a good idea to buy a cheap foam mattress that can easily be folded.

A queen-sized premium memory foam mattress should cost between $1500 - $2000.

The thickness of the mattress, along with the material itself determines whether the mattress can be folded.

Folding mattresses up to 5 inches thick is acceptable, but mattresses up to 6 inches thick shouldn't be folded.

The mattress should not be kept in a folded position for more than 3 weeks in order to avoid damage.

Note: Innerspring and pocket spring mattresses should never be folded in half.

To prevent damage to your mattress, follow these 4 tips:

1. Secure a folded mattress with straps: If your mattress can be folded for moving, secure it with straps or belts. You should be careful not to damage the mattress when tightening the straps. Secure the mattress by using more belts and making them less tight.

2. Shrink the mattress with vacuum bags: A foam mattress can be vacuum packed by simply placing it in a vacuum bag, sealing it, and then using a household vacuum cleaner to remove the air. Roll it up and let it sit for a day. This way it will be kept dry and protected from moisture, dust, and rain.

3. Lift the mattress with moving straps: Use a two-person strap lifting system when moving mattresses between rooms or in and out of a moving vehicle. This way you will avoid strains and damage when lifting and moving the mattress.

4. Prevent mattress damage with a dolly or cart: For heavy or large mattresses, you can use a hand truck or dolly to move them to the car or the next resting spot.

Note: No tip guarantees that your mattress won't be damaged. You'll most likely damage it if you fold it and move it. Instead, get a high-quality mattress that is built to last like Loom & Leaf.
