    Should be it you did both like that and did the rachet straps like i did. Just verify they are really toght, and if going a long diatance like i did i always stop after about first 20 miles and check toghtness then finish trip

    Or rent a U-Haul.

    There are a lot of things in the world that can be done without the proper tools, but many of them are a whole lot easier and less aggravating to do when you have the proper tools...

    Ok so I was mistaken. It was a queen bed which was a piece of cake.

    BTW: if you all don't own any retractable ratchet straps you should buy some. They are so awesome. A little pricey but really useful.

    Hope it's a hot girl that's asking you to move this. I've moved a queen size bed from Dallas to Houston before and put it at an angle, Of course I have a longbed so it has the extra foot support lengthwise. Move was easy.

    A king size would hang a lot on the sides and lengthwise. Personally I would only move it for a hot girl.

    Do not fold, it'll destroy the mattress. Ask me how I know? lol

    Box springs are two twins so they fit between the fenders stacked. Lay the mattress across the bed rails on top, secure down. IMO it is too big to move one side in the bed and the other side hanging off one side. Safer to lay across the top. USE GOOD RATCHET STRAPS!

    It was for my brother in law. I wish it was a hot girl but then probably not because my wife would stab me.

    Amazon has several affordable retractable ratchet straps.

    I don't think HF has any honest-to-G retractable ratchet straps--theirs are all the thread, pull sort of tight, then ratchet up sort...

    Yes, that is why I referred to them as "ratcheting but not retractable"...

    Because I did it once, destroyed all the springs, had to buy a new one. Most expensive move ever. Should've just got a uhaul.
