Moving Tips

  1. 1A king mattress is unwieldy due to size, not weight — use mattress handles or straps for a better grip.
  2. 2Always use a mattress bag. King mattresses collect dirt easily due to their large surface area.
  3. 3For tight stairways, carry the mattress lengthwise on its side with one person above and one below.
  4. 4Split king mattresses (two Twin XLs) are much easier to move — check if yours separates.
