HOW TO PACK
How to pack a mattress for shipping internationally
When it comes to international mattress shipping, the risk of damage is quite low. However, we recommend packing and protecting the mattress properly before shipping not only for hygienic reasons but also because the courier will not accept an unpacked mattress, unless the service booked is Van Delivery. Follow these simple steps to pack the mattress for shipping:
- If possible, roll up the mattress, place it inside a bag and vacuum pack it. Alternatively, you can wrap the mattress with cellophane.
- Place the packed and rolled up mattress together with the other parts of the bed in one or more boxes.
- Close and seal the box and, if using a pallet to ship the different parts of the bed disassembled, secure everything with straps and cellophane.
- If the shipment is too big to use a box, you can also opt for the Van Delivery Service.
How to pack a bed frame for shipping
Below are some recommendations for sending a bed frame by carrier:
- Disassemble the bed as much as possible (legs, slats), and wrap each part in bubble wrap or packaging materials. We recommend writing down where to position each piece for reassembly.
- Put the parts in a bag and attach to the bed base.
- Pack everything in a box. You can follow the same recommendations as for shipping a mattress.
