How to Pack a Mattress for Storage

Whether you’re moving house, clearing space for guests, or putting items away for the long term, knowing how to pack a mattress for storage is essential. A mattress is an investment in good sleep, and improper storage can lead to mould, moisture damage, or permanent sagging. In this guide, Pink Storagewalks you through the steps to protect your mattress while it’s in storage, keeping it fresh, dry, and ready to use whenever you need it.

Why Proper Mattress Storage Matters

A mattress might seem tough, but it’s vulnerable to damage if stored the wrong way. Even the cleanest storage unit can pose hidden risks. Humidity, dust, and changes in temperature can all affect how well your mattress holds up over time.

One common mistake is placing a mattress flat on the ground or stacking  boxes on top of it. This puts unnecessary pressure on the inner structure, which can cause sagging or deformities. Moisture is another concern. If a mattress isn’t properly dried and wrapped, it can become a breeding ground for mould and unpleasant smells.
