Materials You’ll Need
- Vacuum Sealer
- Plastic Mattress Bag
- Measuring Tape
- Scissors
Step 1: Measure Your Mattress
Use a measuring tape to determine the length, width, and height of your mattress. This information will help you choose the right size of the plastic mattress bag.
Step 2: Choose the Right Size Bag
Once you have the measurements, select a plastic mattress bag that is slightly larger than your mattress dimensions. This will ensure a proper fit and ease of sealing.
Step 3: Prepare the Mattress
Remove all bedding and accessories from the mattress. Make sure the mattress is clean and dry before proceeding.
Step 4: Slide the Mattress into the Plastic Bag
Open the plastic mattress bag and slide the mattress inside. Be careful while maneuvering the mattress to avoid tearing the bag. Ensure the mattress is centered within the bag.
Step 5: Seal the Bag
With the mattress inside the bag, carefully seal the open end of the bag using a vacuum sealer. Follow the instructions provided with your vacuum sealer for best results. Make sure the seal is airtight to prevent air from entering the bag.
Step 6: Vacuum and Compress
Locate the valve on the bag and attach the vacuum sealer. Turn on the vacuum sealer to remove the air from the bag. As the air is being extracted, the bag will shrink and compress the mattress. Allow the vacuum sealer to complete the process.
Step 7: Seal the Valve
Once the bag is fully compressed, carefully detach the vacuum sealer and quickly seal the valve on the bag to prevent air from re-entering.
Step 8: Store or Transport
Now that your mattress is vacuum-sealed, you can store it in a safe, dry place or transport it to a new location without any hassle. Remember to handle the vacuum-sealed mattress with care to avoid damaging the bag.
And there you have it! By following these step-by-step instructions, you can easily vacuum seal your mattress for storage or transportation purposes. It’s a simple and effective way to protect your mattress while optimizing space. Now you can enjoy extra space and peace of mind knowing your mattress is well-taken care of!
