Recently ordered a king size mattress and box spring, being the cheap ass that I am I declined the $100 delivery which in hindsite I should have just opted for.

With that said, anyone moved a king size mattress in a crew cab?

Take plywood or osb that is the same size and sandwich it with the mattress between it, then strap it over the top a couple of times and around back a couple of times.

Yes I did. But I also had a 18FT auto transport with it.


But seriously here. The box spring should be 2 parts. Stack them and then just wrap the mattress with tarps and just strap it down.

Have a bed cover. Simply placed it on top, strapped it down and was good to go. I've done it a few times with no issues

N1ck,

Just my opinion but WTF!

REALLY you got $35K pickup! To freaking stupid to be able to put a mattress set in the bed and secure it! You should sell the truck so you can afford to pay for your deliveries and go back to driving economy car!

But as stated above- I have a tri fold bed cover and the two times we have moved our king mattess and box springs just go on top of it. And they where not near locations, the mattresses where on the truck for a full day and a ton of miles.
Go to a Uhaul place and spend the 5$ to get mattress covers-
