Some are designed to be rolled and transported with ease, while others may suffer structural damage if improperly rolled. Here's what you need to know:
When in doubt, check the warranty or consult the manufacturer. Rolling a mattress the wrong way could void your warranty.
There are several reasons you might need to roll a spring mattress:
Let's get down to the nitty-gritty. Rolling a spring mattress involves a few more steps than just, well, rolling it.
Ensure the mattress is bare, removing all sheets, pillows, and any mattress protectors.
Make sure the mattress is lying flat on the ground, without any incline or angle.
This is where the fun begins. Fold your mattress in half, lengthwise, taking care not to damage the springs.
Use heavy-duty ropes or straps to secure the folded mattress, ensuring it stays folded as you proceed to roll it.
Begin rolling the folded mattress from one end to the other, taking care to roll as tightly as possible.
Once rolled, use more ropes or straps to secure the rolled mattress.
