If you’re going to get a little brave be sure to check your mattress warranty before making any moves!įitting it into a back seat or rolling it up stairs would be much easier at half the size-this is also a logical thought. That being said, we know it has been done before and it will certainly be done again, but vacuum sealing your mattress isn’t recommended. Prolonged compression of the foam in most mattresses might cause it to stop bouncing back, which can not only change how it feels, but cause it to degrade sooner. The other problem that may arise, or rather, won’t arise, is the potential for the foam to be damaged and to lose some of its loft. When we compress our mattress that first time around, the amount of pressure we apply is done completely by factory-grade machinery and a vacuum typically can’t offer the same effect, so it may not shrink down to as convenient of a size as you’d hope. We’ve even seen it done, if we’re being 100% honest with you, but there are a few things to consider before you borrow your neighbor’s shop vac. And logic would tell you that it absolutely could happen again, we get that. Before you start down a DIY mattress compression rabbit-hole on Youtube, take it from the pros. Maybe you’re moving to a new city for your dream job or just swapping rooms with your downstairs roommate so you can have the good bathroom, whatever your reason, moving your mattress should be as easy as possible. There are all kinds of reasons you may find yourself staring at your mattress, contemplating ways to somehow origami it into the back of your Fiat (A swan perhaps?).
