As with any item that comes in close contact with people, mattresses have to have special treatment for protection and safety. They can easily be damaged during a move or when placed in storage. The best preventative measure is a plastic mattress bag made from sturdy and durable material.
Each step of a move is normally carefully planned to avoid overwork and errors. Most of the planning concentrates on proper packing of precious items and keepsakes. This form of planning should also be applied to the packing of mattresses. Though mattresses appear to be very sturdy and reliable, they are delicate comforts that require special handling and care. This is especially true when they are being moved.
Strong and rugged plastic mattress bags are designed to care for mattresses and offer special protection against contaminants and dirt. Plastic mattress bags have gussets that allow them to fit any size mattress from twin to king and are easy, efficient, and convenient to use. The proper use of a plastic master bag guarantees the life of your mattress and protection from disease.
There are specific steps that need to be followed when placing a mattress in a plastic mattress bag. Prior to packaging the mattress, it should be laid on a clean floor to be checked for damp spots or moisture, which should be dried to avoid damage to the mattress during transport or storage. For best results, two people should assist in putting the mattress in the bag.
Most mattress bags have a resealable flap designed to seal the bag and protect against germs and contaminants. They are vented with small holes to release access air when being sealed. As an extra precaution, the flap should be sealed with tape. Once the mattress is packed, it should be gently placed in the truck away from any items that may puncture the bag or bend the mattress.
When planning a move, it is essential that special care be given to your mattress to ensure that it arrives in the best possible condition. Plastic mattress bags increase the life of your mattress and protect against moisture, contaminants, and germs such as dust mites, allergens, and bed bugs. They are an investment in one of your most prized possessions.
