Watching this video really helped me. I am a single woman living alone with no one to help me move things around. I just saved hundreds of dollars-I almost had to spend hundreds of dollars for someone to help me move some furniture up steep stairs to my loft🥰

And of course on my own with my also small 10 year old son in a new city where we don't know anyone. I don't want to pay hundreds to have small things like this done, so I appreciate you ladies taking your time to make videos like this for us 🙂

THANK YOU SO MUCH ladies! I am 'ONE old man with a van' I cant afford house moving help this time. in the past i had money to pay movers.😪 May I add another way to just carry a mattress around ALONE on one floor. ADD TWO STRAPS to make it into a HUGE back pack - arms through the straps on your back and OFF YOU WALK! Its is incredible the weight us humans can carry on our backs a a balanced load. I am a 63 year old Veteran - I can do it - so can most people.🙂

[@CleanFreakGermaphobe]

Wonderful! We love hearing that this helped you. How do you put the straps on? Tie down straps like we tied the rope? Can you explain a little more? Honestly I can’t remember exactly what we did in this video because it’s been a few years and I no longer move mattresses as often.

[@puzzletherapy4u]

Looks like you were using your back🙂 I got a free king size temperpedic off craigslist 2 years ago. I had to take it apart at their house and move it out. I'd never done this before but I just took some rope with me and folded it and tied it up tight. Me and my 15 year old son carried it out down their front steps to our minivan. We got it home and almost had it in place when I wrenched my back. Ugh, being the weaker sex is a handicap sometimes. Temperpedic mattresses are super heavy but I wanted to try one without paying a lot since I was having a lot of sleep problems and hip pain. We have to move in a few months. I'm going to have to cut it down to a full size so I can lift it without damaging my 55 year old back. Thanks for the great video!

[@CleanFreakGermaphobe]

You’re going to cut a king down to a full? That’s going to be some work! Maybe you could ask a neighbor to help or pay someone on Task Rabbit or a service like that?

[@ahmedtan2003]

Two people should normally carry your Sealy mattress flat on its side. It's easier to handle and less likely to get damaged. Don't bend your mattress under any circumstances. * Bending may damage the innerspring unit.

[@CleanFreakGermaphobe]

Yes as we pointed out in the video this doesn't work for all mattress types. Best on mattresses without springs unless they come in a box. Some specifically state, do not fold. I folded mattresses for 3 years. Different brands. Up to 13 inches thick with springs. Not just one, many of them. Although if you're folding it to take to the dump than it works on all mattresses that are possible to fold!

[@GMRWellness]

@@CleanFreakGermaphobe Some mattresses are designed to fold, i own one of them

[@daniellebissonnette3304]

I use this flipping method a lot to move big items . It works very well, and it means I don't have to wait for the husband or a other people to be available to help. We are going to be helping our daughter move to a new apartment with an external spiral staircase, not sure we can fold her mattress, this is where I regret that she chose the cheaper spring mattress over the slightly more expensive latex mattress... I think we will have to lift it up the rail on the balcony.

[@CleanFreakGermaphobe]

Good luck!!

[@daniellebissonnette3304]

@@CleanFreakGermaphobe It turned out to be a breeze. My husband tied heavy mover's straps around the mattress, and pulled it up and over the railing. I helped him flip the mattress over the railing. Not something either of us could have done alone, without risking a back injury though.

[@beatmeater5225]

Ah, a large US house. If you can do a video of a 4 storey 130 year old English house with tight, tight, tight stair wells that would be great 😂

[@CleanFreakGermaphobe]

I moved a lot of mattresses, including through tight and narrow halls. You just have to squish the mattress through. It’s hard, especially up steeper stairs, but it’s possible. If it’s too tight leave it flat, put it in its side and put a blanket under it to help it slide.

[@xanadu8628]

Thanks for the tip! I have a King Tempurpedic that is clocking in at 115 lbs. It's the only thing I need help with getting down the stairs and this saves me the the hassle of hiring movers just for that. I honestly never would have considered folding it. Now I just need to figure out what type of covering to use to protect it. With my old mattress the cover I bought just shredded right off.

[@CleanFreakGermaphobe]

That happens more than you think (the shredding). If you have a tarp, that will work to wrap it in just to move it.

[@ftumi]

​@@CleanFreakGermaphobe what about a really thick blanket?

[@slemons8701]

This would be a fail for me but u go girl ! 💁🏽‍♀️🥳

[@teel6060]

My question is, does folding and strapping the mattress ruin it? Does it now have a weak spot in the middle?

[@CleanFreakGermaphobe]

Not for a foam mattress unless you leave it folded. I’ve done it with spring mattresses too, like an Avocado. But there’s a risk that it could cause damage. If it came rolled in a box there’s a good chance you’re ok. I did it for years. But I wouldn’t on a mattress that comes flat.

[@seanofto]

Doesn’t folding a mattress cause damage to it?

[@jgettier]

They're assuming everyone has a memory foam bed in a box mattress

[@CleanFreakGermaphobe]

We state that in the video also

[@alsheremeta]

Great idea! But need to really be careful about the hard parts on the straps damaging the walls when the mattress is kinda rolling around out of control with the one person method.

[@CleanFreakGermaphobe]

Good point. I make sure the straps are positioned at the top so they don’t hit the walls or the floor.

Going to try this today. Not sure if the mattress will arrive in a box and if so, not sure it would be best to take it out of the box first! By the way, I'm a 70-year-old female, so if I can do this than anybody can! Film at 11!

[@CleanFreakGermaphobe]

If it comes in a box I would move it in the box. Much easier. I rock it back and forth on the ground to move it or put a blanket or tarp under it. Got going up stairs use a dolly if possible. One stair at a time. Make sure the wheels are clean.

[@michaelharris8421]

Another easy way once folded take a bunch of tape and wrap ends it will probably take a while roll but put it at ends and or length wyes and you can use tape as handles to carry it

[@radtech4682]

Really depends on the weight of the mattress. My king size "original mattress factory" mattress with hinge in the middle weights a ton. This isn't possible with this mattress. It took 2 men and 1 woman(me) to get it up a straight flight of stairs and we had it folded in half with ratchets. We currently redid our upstairs floors and we moved the mattress to a room that was already done. Husband isn't home and I'm trying to get it back on the bedframe. It's folded in half and I got it as far as the end of the bed. Can't lift it to actually put it on the bed. I hate this mattress. The next time I move it, it's going to be in pieces and thrown out the window

I've folded mattresses for years. If it's the boxed kind and all foam it should be fine. I also fold pillow tops and hybrids. But it's up to you. I don't fold them for a long time. Just long enough to move them. I stored hybrids or thicker foam mattress flat. I used to work for a mattress nonprofit.

[@WhosThisPersonNotMe]

you can't do this with all mattresses. if your mattress has a metal frame with metal springs in it and you try to bend it, it will damage the mattress.

[@CleanFreakGermaphobe]

We explained this in the video but said it's got to come rolled in a box or be all foam. As you said, other style mattresses won't bend.
