Guest Impatient Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Have heard all sorts about moving mattresses, about how you shouldn't because being stood on their ends for a month is bad for them. Trouble is, just had to buy one and am reluctant to leave it behind if it will fit in the container. Anyone have any experiences? Go on, tell me it is all nonsence, please!

Guest Impatient Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Think most of the problems are to do with the things being manhandled and bent and things, but I am sure removals folks have mentioned it being bad to stand them for long periods of time. Soz! Hope it is not a problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Worry no more - We moved here in January - container arrived in March with 2 mattresses and both were fine. The packers wrapped them really well. Ours were stood for 3 months on the container. I'm not a mattress expert but they seem ok to me Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Bring what you can, the more you bring the less you need to buy - it really does add up, we're glad we brought the majority of our stuff which all arrived in one piece. Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Not so sure about how they are suppose to stand but was told to make sure mattress was not wrapped in polothene of any type as they can sweat and go mouldy oooh the thought !!!!

Guest mr mover Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 i think they are refering to the old Box spring mattress,s, most modern innersprings are ok. Memory foam mattress,s should be laid flat.................mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KazzE Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Spooky :wideeyed: this has been one of our conversations this week end our mattress is only a year old and we made sure we got a good one we have a wooden bed frame, daughter has fairly new pine bedroom furniture..... and this may be a stoopid question :unsure: but are bed sizes the same in Oz, will we be able to buy a replacement mattress of the same size?
