Shipping Mattresses, Box Springs or Bed Sets
A bed set will typically have 4 pieces. If it were a king sized the estimate of the weight and measure of the pieces might be:
mattress and box springs: 80 x 78 x 24 inches, 130 lbs (sometimes each will be in their own box - 80 x 78 x 12 mattress at 90 lbs, box spring or springs at 80 x 78 x 12 or 80 x 39 x 12 inches) and 40 lbs or 20 lbs each
bed frame: 84 x 16 x 6 inches, 50 lbs
headboard: 80 x 48 x 5 inches, 30 lbs
The pieces will be boxed. They do not have to be palletized for shipment.
Used Mattresses, Box Springs or Bed Sets
the mattress should be bagged (as in the bags found at Uhaul and/or boxes such as at ecoBox) and then shrink wrapped
the frames need to be boxed or wrapped in cardboard and then shrink wrapped
