Protecting a mattress from damp and surface dirt

Mattress packaging involves more than covering its surface. Consider the material, journey duration and any storage period together.

Protecting a mattress from damp and surface dirt

Before you start

Check dimensions and manufacturer care instructions. Do not assume the model can be folded, and photograph existing stains or distortion.

Practical steps

  • Put the dry mattress in a suitable protective cover.
  • Prevent contact with projections that could tear the wrapping.
  • If storage is needed, agree its position and conditions according to the material guidance.

Checks on arrival

Inspect wrapping and surfaces on delivery. Assess damp packaging or changes in shape and arrange suitable ventilation before returning the mattress to use.

What to include in your quote request

Add the quantity, approximate dimensions and preparation status to your inventory. Include the floor, lift and vehicle access at both addresses. Photos help with the initial assessment. Confirm responsibility for packing, dismantling and reassembly in the written quote.
