Anyone Bought A Superking Size Mattress And Had Trouble Getting It Upstairs?

[suzyangel]

I just wondered if it will bend as there is a 10inch difference in space on the stairs. Help!

Depends very much on the type of mattress - some are quite bendy, others don't bend at all.
10" is a hell of a bend

Looks like you'll be taking the bedroom window out:-(

My mattress is in two parts maybe that would be a solution. Unless you've already bought it...

Our superking was actually a zip together so we didn't have a problem at all, it should bend though.

In my limited experience matresses will bend. It's not like you need a right angle fold, a slight curve should get you around.

My husband used to deliver beds and mattresses. He says unless it's a zip together you may have trouble because they don't bend. Apparently they have an internal metal frame to hold the springs and if you bend it you end up with a bulge or dimple in it!

Ar'nt they 2 x 3ft mattresses zipped together?

or, if it's a latex mattress, it will bend quite a bit...
