How to store a mattress in a storage unit?
One of the most common reasons people use self storage Manchester for is to store a mattress, we often get asked what the best way is to store a mattress and keep it safe and secure whilst in storage. With years of experience in helping customers we’ve put together a quick bullet point checklist so that our customers can ensure they store their mattress in a way that takes up the least space and keeps it in a good condition.
- Clean Your Mattress Before Storage
- Cover Your Mattress – We recommend using a plastic covering but even some old sheets will help keep the dust off
- Move your mattress with two people – If you do need to slide your mattress try to cover that side of it with a sheet
- When placing your mattress in your new storage unit try to turn it on it’s side to take up as little space as possible
- If you decide to lay your mattress flat you can take advantage of being able to stack smaller items on top of it or items you don’t want touching the ground
- We would only recommend storing very light objects on top of the mattress as anything heavier could damage the springs
