A bedroom is a special place in our home where we relax after a long day. Personally, there is nothing I enjoy more than morning sleep-ins on a cozy Sunday. Sleep is one of the essential parts of our lives! By improving the quality of our sleep, we enhance the quality of our lives. That’s why picking the right mattress is critical to improving your sleep. It’s also one of the biggest investments because good mattresses are expensive. I recently moved, and one of my first questions was how to move a mattress. How do I keep my investment safe, clean, and protected? Here are some tips I’ve learned while researching the best moving company in the area.

Before the move:

1. Prepare your bedroom, clear out the space, and if you feel handy, take apart your bed ( It will also save you money on the moving process ) 
2. There are different options you can buy ahead of time for Mattress protection, such as plastic covers and mattress bags. You can get them online or in your local Uhaul store or Home Depot. They range from $9 to $40, depending on the quality and size. Make sure you get the right size. Don’t be like me. 
3. Putting the bag on can be challenging and will require two people to do it. I recommend leaving it to the movers. 

Moving Company: 

1. Movers know precisely how to move a mattress. The company I chose also provided plastic wrap free of charge. So when choosing a company, ask about mattress covers. Most companies will offer it for free. 
2. This is how the process looked for me: The movers wrapped the mattress in plastic wrap, hand-carried it to the truck, and placed it on the moving blanket ( to protect it from the dirt ). Then carefully strapped it into the remaining items they already had inside. 

After the move:

1. As a part of the service, movers assembled my bed, unwrapped the mattress, and placed it on the bed. 
2. If you plan to do it yourself, remember that covering your mattress with plastic and padding will help you keep it clean. 

Conclusion:

Using a Moving company saved me a lot of hassle and time. If I were to do it myself, I would bring a friend, buy a plastic bag, rent moving blankets, and choose a first-floor apartment ( Stairs are no joke! ). I hope these tips on how to move a mattress will help you and your mattress during your next move! 

The most important thing is the size. The whole truck is 33ft when the box size is 26ft. Max load: 20,000 lbs. This big truck can fit up to 3-4 bedroom houses, so if you have 1 or 2 bedrooms, you don’t even need to worry about fitting everything!

It comes with all our moving packages, and you don’t have to pay extra. It’s the same size as the biggest Uhaul, Budget, and other rental companies’ most expensive trucks.

Also, it will include 8 Wardrobe boxes, 3 two-wheel dollies, 2 four-wheel dollies, 50 blankets, tools, 2 boxes of shrink wrap, floor runners and everything else you may need to move your furniture safely!

Note: our trucks have ramps to help us load everything, but we do offer trucks with a liftgate as well.

While moving is often stressful, it does symbolize a new beginning and exciting experience for you. However, before you move, you have to realize that your dog might not feel the same way.

Dogs thrive on routine and any sudden changes to what they’re already used to can make them anxious and stressed. That said, here’s how you are able to make moving a less stressful event for your dog.

Mindset and Preparation

Prior to moving day, do your best to prep your dog as much as you can. Keep its daily routine, but add the following to get him or her acclimated to the pending changes:

1. When packing in the presence of your dog, constantly reassure it and give it treats to reduce its stress about the major changes in your home. If some familiar items in your home are getting packed up, your dog may get anxious about these sudden changes.
2. If your dog will be traveling in a carrier or crate, make sure that it is used to it. Make it a safe and comfortable space in your home where your dog will think of it positively. When moving day comes, the familiarity of the crate can help reduce your dog’s stress.
3. Most dogs like road trips, but if your dog hasn’t been on one, then try a short one with him or her in the crate. This way, your dog can get acclimated to both the crate and the car ride.

As moving day gets closer, increase the length of your car rides to help it cope. Reward it with treats and/or affection to give it good memories to associate with these trips.
