How To Move A King Size Mattress By Yourself

It is not a question of "how can I move my king mattress alone?" but "should I move my mattress at all?".

It is generally not a good idea to move a king-size mattress.

If you insist on moving your king-sized mattress, ask for someone's help and follow these 4 steps:

1. Cover your mattress
2. Fold up your mattress
3. Lift from the knees
4. Take your mattress to your vehicle

Note: A king-sized mattress is too heavy and trying to move it yourself is a terrible and dangerous idea (especially if you have to move it upstairs). King mattresses should be moved by groups rather than by a single person.

Your best option is to buy a new study mattress like the Saatva Classic. Incredibly comfortable and durable.

Saatva has extremely friendly policies including a generous 365-night trial and a lifetime warranty.

You can't move your king-sized mattress by yourself. Replacing it is your only real option.

If you insist on moving your mattress, you'll need the following 7 items:

• Mattress Bag
• Tape
• Tie-down straps
• Rope
• Cardboard
• Dolly
• A truck

Then follow these 4 steps:

1. Cover your mattress: Remove all bedding, pillows, toppers, etc., before you begin, and then cover your mattress with plastic wrap. You will likely touch stairs, floors, the ground outside, and the inside of your moving van with your mattress.

2. Fold up your mattress: It will make it less flimsy by reducing its height and width. Do it width-wise, not height-wise. The mattress base's top and bottom should touch. Tie it down with straps or ratchets.

3. Lift from the knees: Don't lift anything heavy with your back, including your mattress. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Lift the object as close to you as you can. Slowly lift using your hips and knees.

4. Take your mattress to your vehicle: Have someone help you. You can get a dolly if you can't recruit someone. Renting a larger vehicle may also be necessary.

Note: You should also ask a friend for help.

King-size mattresses weigh about 90-180 pounds. It depends on the mattress type.

The latex weighs more than the memory foam. Foam mattresses usually weigh more than hybrid/innerspring mattresses.
