Description
We love our memory foam mattresses, but that love is often lost when it comes time to pack and move it. The combination of weight and lack of structure can make memory foam mattresses difficult to handle, especially when it becomes necessary to move them in and out of tight spaces. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to compress your memory foam mattress down and roll it up, the same way it came from the factory? We created the VacuFlat Mattress Bag for just that purpose. Our bags allow you to compress your mattress to a fraction of the original size, making it significantly easier to move, ship, or store.
Did you know that storing your memory foam mattress on it’s side may damage it and void your warranty? Memory foam mattresses consist of multiple layers of different density foams that are sandwiched and adhered together. When a memory foam mattress is stored on end, it can cause these foam layers to separate. Worse yet, storing a memory foam mattress on its side for any length of time may void the manufacturer’s warranty on your mattress. Don’t take that chance — pack it in a VacuFlat Mattress Bag.
Note: Before purchasing a VacuFlat Mattress Bag, please check with your mattress manufacturer to ensure that compressing and storing your mattress in a VacuFlat Mattress Bag will not void its warranty.

We have a king size Nectar Mattress that was a source of anxiety leading up to our moving date. I was not sure how we were going to move it as we had limited help in the days leading up to the move and I was not confident that 2 people would be able to move the mattress. Vacuflat came to the rescue and made moving the memory foam mattress simple. The options for moving memory foam mattresses are currently quite limited and even the customer service departments of mattress manufacturers offer nebulous and vague advice.
Here are the pros and cons I experiences with the Vacuflat mattress bag.
Pros:
– Service was phenomenal, I preordered the mattress bag and received the mattress 3 days after release day. They clearly have their logistics in good hands.
– The bag is big! More than enough space to fit the mattress without a struggle.
– The plastic is thick!! This is a sturdy bag and survived the move without any damage. We did use a second bag as an extra layer of protection and that bag tore easily, but the vacuflat bag stayed strong.
– Easy to use. I used a regular home vacuum over the course of an hour and saw significant reduction in the size of the mattress. I did not plan to roll the mattress, but by vacuum sealing the mattress it was possible for two people to carry it without much difficulty. Sealed in the bag, the mattress got more and more rigid the more air we vacuumed out which made carrying it much easier. The vacuum gasket/valve worked well. There is not a fitting that latches into the vacuum hose, but despite that holding the end of the hose against the valve worked great.
Cons:
– I think the mattress bag ziplock seal did leak a bit while the mattress was in the storage container we used to move for a week. The mattress was a bit bigger coming out than when we packed it. However, believe user error is at least 75% to blame. I was in a really big hurry while packing things up and I did not take the time to carefully close the seal with it stretched out how the instructions described. If I would have been more careful and taken the time to double check or redo the seal, I am confident it would not have leaked. I do wish the seal part was a little more “dummy” proof, but compared to the alternatives I am happy with the performance.
In closing, I am very happy with the experience with the Vacuflat bag and recommend using it for moving memory foam mattresses. My advice to you is to plan ahead and take your time. It will take time to suction out the air from a large mattress, don’t expect your vacuum to be able to shrink the mattress down in 15 minutes. I spent about an hour total vacuuming my mattress. This accounts for taking breaks for the vacuum so it didn’t over heat. The more time you can take, the smaller you can get the mattress.
Thanks for the great product!
