The waterbed mattress should be rolled up if it is a fiber
filled or "baffled" mattress.
There is a lot of confusion caused by the fact that new
mattresses come folded. While this is true, the fiber in a
new mattress is dry, flat and under vacuum allowing it to fold easily into
a small package that is easily shipped. Once the fiber is
wet, it swells and takes on weight making it much harder to
handle.
Roll the mattress from the head of the bed to the foot, much
like you would roll a large carpet. Then you can use two
wardrobe boxes to box the mattress. Moving companies usually
have wardrobe boxes.
Slide the base of each box over the end of tha mattress. Use
tape to secure one end of the box to the other. It is now
safely packed for moving.
