Why Beds Need Careful Handling

Beds are bulky and mattresses can be damaged if bent or dragged. Disassemble frames and wrap the mattress. A man and van or house removal team can handle the job. Use our quote calculator and check our areas we serve.

Disassemble and Protect

Remove the headboard, footboard, and slats. Keep screws in a labelled bag. Wrap the mattress in a mattress bag or old sheets. Never bend or fold a mattress. Use our furniture delivery service for single items.

Moving and Transport

Carry the mattress flat or on its side. For stairs, professional movers use straps. Load the frame parts last so they are easy to unload first.

At the New Address

Reassemble the frame. Place the mattress on top. Allow a memory foam mattress to expand for a few hours if it was rolled.
