Move a Mattress

Wednesday June 10, 2009

BedThe other day, as I drove out of the city, I spotted a mattress along the side of the road. Now, perhaps someone wanted to get rid of it and dumped it off, hoping a passerby might want to pick it up. More likely, the lost mattress is a victim of a move gone wrong. It seems quite straight forward to strap a mattress to the roof of a car, until you start speeding down a freeway.

So, to prevent your mattress from such a terrible demise, find out how to properly secure it and know the precautions to take before you head out on the road.
