Fiber, Baffled and Chambered mattresses should
be rolled only. Be sure to get all the water out and draw down the mattress under vacuum to prevent the insides from moving. If the fiber moves it will probably ruin the mattress. Folding this type of mattress can damage it.
Free-flow, Full Motion or Non-Baffled mattresses are easier to handle
when folded.
Folding a Mattress: Fold the mattress end - t
o -
end at the middle of the mattress first. Then fold it
roughly 1/3 of the way from the top, finally fold the
remaining 1/3 of the way.
The mattress should be wrapped and or tied or taped and
boxed so that it is protected in shipment. Do not put tape
directly on the mattress.
Larger mattresses require a wardrobe size box. Be sure to order extras for your waterbeds when discussing your move with your moving company.
Place bed hardware in a zip lock bag and pack carefully.
If you have a wooden frame and it is not wrapped to
protect it in some way, prepare to live with some
scratches.
Heating pads should be rolled up and placed in a box of
some type. Do not try to fold them or force them into any
shape because many models are not capable of bending.
