Hey I. Have sealy king mattress how many days can I keep it like vacuum & gold can I keep for 6 months like that

I used a similar product, and found it easiest to roll as I vacuumed. When it first starts to compress, start rolling, add a weight or person ontop [or underneath one side if just starting). Doing it like this removed more air than doing it flat, because it causes a void around the valve where air can easily be sucked out. Remember to take breaks to allow your vacuum to cool.

Thanks. Moving soon and I had this idea. Glad you beat me to it. Thanks for the tips

I had no idea this existed! It’s going to be so useful once we move out.

With all vacuum-cleaner storage bags, it's recommended to push down on the bag so it flattens evenly, not just where the vacuum valve is.

You just have to put it on the floor before u pack it and walk all over it while the vacuum works it’s magic.

The problem is you didn't use a powerful enough vacuum, try using a shop vac. I used a 6hp shop vac, and it pancaked my hybrid mattress with ease.

I'd also assume this works better on 100% foam mattresses since there aren't any spring and other non foam components in them. I am surprised how flat they got it.

Hey there! Couple of questions. Does your hybrid contain springs? I see some hybrids don’t (mind does) and I want to vacuum seal mine if possible for an upcoming move. Were any of the springs displaced because of the vacuum seal? Did the bag maintain its seal for your trip? Thanks!

6hp vacuum cleaner not everyone has or can afford it but yeah that's the key to compress mattress properly - bags do 10% work, vacuum cleaner and forces do 90%.

Thanks for making this video and showing me that it's not just me who struggles with this. I have a 12-inch memory foam mattress I tried something similar with that I left sealing for ~3 hours and got to around...maybe 3? But I didn't roll it up because my roommate said it should be flatter, and it re-inflated overnight. I see I should just let it get back to that point and force him to help me, haha.

You’re welcome. I really expected it to be easier! Yes, get him to help you!! A regular mattress bag, fold the mattress in half and tie it works best. For a foam mattress.

That helped me. I've ordered a new mattress that's been vacuum sealed and was worried it was too narrow. I know know that happens when it's vacuum sealed. I can breathe easy again as I just lugged it up three flights of stairs and don't want to have to return it.

Hi! Just wanted to ask/make sure, this mattress is a hybrid (foam-spring combo)? I have a basically brand new dreamcloud hybrid and keep seeing mixed reviews about being able to vacuum seal hybrids and potentially displacing the springs.

I need one of those bags

Show the detail of where you put in the vacuum hose. You definitely can squish out a lot more air. Suction it with mattress on floor so you can walk it constantly to squeeze out all the air. Put the straps around it before you roll it up and kneel on it and put all your weight on it as you're rolling it and then cinch the straps

Please help . Mine is puffy lux queen moving out of state ? And planning to use vacuum bag. do you think it'd damage it ? Have you ever tried compressing Puffy matters ? how did it go ? How long compressed mattresses should stay ?

@UnboxMattress

2 жыл бұрын

It’s my opinion that it will work but I would leave it flat and not roll or fold it. I have compressed a Puffy but not the lux. I would try not to leave it there for long. However, I folded mattresses of all kinds for 3 years and they’d stay rolled for a month or longer. It’s just not advised by the bag company to us for spring mattresses. My point is, I would, but I can’t say for sure if you should. Or in other words, at your risk.

Any inputs regarding the what type of vaccums should be used to wrap the mattress.Any Vaccum recommendations please

An upright (not cordless) with a hose attachment is best. Shark makes them, Bissell, etc.

Also this looks like a good way to defunk a bed

Would this fuck up the springs, having ut folded and tied up for few weeks

@UnboxMattress

It could and I mention that. I folded mattresses with springs to move them for years. They were mostly bed in a box type mattresses which come flattened and rolled up. These bags are meant for all foam mattresses. I wanted to test it on a thick mattress with springs.

I wonder if a shop vac can be used for this.

You probably could of compressed it alot more flatter to roll it. You could of also used winch straps to hold it down

@UnboxMattress

You just hold it on the opening, it doesn’t attach to the bag.

Supposed to roll and squish as you vacuum… that helps flatten it more.

Unfortunately, I don't think so. But I haven't tried it. I should try it to be sure. Fewer people have upright vacuums...

I wonder how well this would work on a hybrid that didn't come rolled up in a box. I figure there'd be risk, but would it compress similarly?

I wouldn't store it that way, just long enough to move it. If you have an all foam mattress you could leave it for a few months (at your own risk, this is not tested, only what I've read).

There are a lot of types but the ones that come rolled in a box should work - because they were tightly rolled and they're usually not as thick. The mattress in the video has springs but the company doesn't advise it.

It would be tough...check the link in the description. There are several on Amazon. Good luck!!

This method is not suitable for frameless (without spring) mattresses. Without a spring, the mattress will become smaller in length, width and height. The mattress cannot be rolled after a vacuum. It won't work out. I tried.

A good way to destroy a spring mattress. Compressing a spring mattress short-term might work but not roiling it or bending it in half will 100% damage any spring-loaded mattresses.
