Packing things in a truck when moving is probably the most difficult task, especially if you made a choice to do everything yourself. Professionals know how to load furniture like sofas and beds, appliances, and heavy boxes when moving, so they will be able to do it faster and risk-free. In fact, hiring a professional moving company will cost you money, depending on how far and how much you are going to move. But if you decided to move a bed yourself you will also succeed, because there is nothing complicated about loading and moving the bed.

How to move a bed FAQ?

1. Should I disassemble the bed before transporting it?

Definitely. Before moving the bed, it must be disassembled. You can argue that it doesn’t make sense to disassemble a single bed. There is a sense and it is that the doorways of  apartments are always narrow.

2. Can I disassemble the bed myself or invite the assembler?

It all depends on your confidence in your own abilities and the availability of a minimum set of tools. The bed consists of:

• footings;
• backs 2 PC.;
• of the sidewalls.

In order to disassemble an ordinary bed, you will need a screwdriver and some time. You may need the services of a furniture mover if you do not have a standard bed.

3. How should I pack the bed?

If you are planning to transport an ordinary bed, the packaging will be unnecessary. But if we are talking about rare or expensive furniture, then packaging is simply necessary. As packaging materials, you can use plastic or bubble wrap, paper and tape.

4. Should the bed be treated with protective and water-repellent agents before transportation?

This is at your discretion, but practice shows that the use of such tools is unnecessary.

5. How to handle the bed after moving?

It will not be very pleasant to spend your first night sleeping on a dusty bed. Upon arrival at the new place, it is enough to wipe the bed from the dust and, if desired, treat the wooden parts with a special furniture polish.

6. How many movers will be needed to move the bed?

If you are not the happy owner of an ancient relic and you use an ordinary bed as a bed, then two movers will be enough. Massive beds made of natural wood or metal will require much more effort.

7. What kind of car should I order to transport the bed?

If the bed is disassembled, then the standard truck will suit you one hundred percent. In the case when disassembly is impossible, you will have to consult the representative of the moving company which provide the transportation of oversized items.

8. How can I transport a bed in a car?

It is worth immediately warning you against such a rash and risky act. An exception for this type of transportation may be the transportation of a baby cradle or a single bed. They can be transported on the top trunk of the car in disassembled form. In all other cases, it is better not to risk the car, furniture and your own life.

And some additional tips when moving a bed:

• Try to distribute the furniture evenly so that the truck does not skew while driving.
• Ask your friends and family for help. Don’t carry heavy things alone. And remember: lift by straining your legs, not your back!
• Calculate your strength correctly. Take your time, take a break.
