To move a bed, strip the bedding, take the frame apart and bag the bolts, wrap the mattress in a mattress bag, and carry the mattress on its side with two people. Load the base and frame pieces flat, stand the mattress against them, and strap everything so it can not slide. If you would rather not, FLYTTE books a crew to move it across town, and you see the price as soon as you enter both addresses.
Taking it apart
Strip the sheets and pillows and pack them in one bag so the bed can be made up first thing at the new place. Take photos of the frame before you start, then unscrew the headboard and side rails.
Put every bolt and screw in a labelled bag and tape it to the headboard. Lost bolts are the most common reason a bed can not go back together on moving night.
Mattress and base
Slide the mattress into a mattress bag so it stays clean and dry. Carry it on its side, one person at each end, and avoid folding it.
Divan and slatted bases often go as one piece. Check the base against your doorways and stair turns first. King and super king beds are the ones most likely to need taking apart for tight spaces.
Or let FLYTTE move it
Add the mattress, base or frame and any headboard from the item list, enter both addresses and any stairs, and the price shows straight away. Mattress bags are standard, and frames are reassembled on request, so mention it in the notes.
