For anyone looking to move their mattress, look no further! This method worked perfectly on our drive from Los Angeles to Seattle! We drove through rain storms, snow storms, and coastal winds with no issues. Thanks so much Sleepy Sal!!
That's great! How fast did you drive and what kind of car did you use? I'm hoping my VW Jetta will be alright on my 2.5 hour journey that will require significant time on the freeway
LegoNinja21 Our car is a 2019 VW Tiguan! We drove the speed limit for the majority of the trip but we avoided freeways as much as possible. When freeways couldn’t be avoided, we stayed 5 mph under the posted speed limit and in the far right lane. Good luck on your journey! I’m sure it’ll be great.
Hi I have question: is the police stop you because you carry mattress on top of your SUV? Is it legal to bring the mattress on top of your car? Thank you
1:20 Ratchet straps at least 15 feet long 2:20 Unscrew the flexible antenna from your roof. Put cardboard over the remaining stub of the antenna. 2:40 Quilt/Soft side of mattress down to protect your vehicle. 3:20 Boxspring upside down on top of mattress. 4:10 Throw side with no hook across your roof to the other side. 4:35 Open any doors that will have people sitting and put strap INSIDE then shut door. This way the strap won't hold the door shut in an emergency. For seats without passengers, since they are ok to tie shut, it's ok to just thread the strap through the open window. 5:10 Take the other piece of the ratchet pair and go hook in hook, then position the hooks above the mattress. 5:20 Feed strap from interior toward exterior through the center slot of the ratchet, then pull the end down to get rid of the slack. 5:30 With one hand holding that free end down, use your other hand to ratchet up and down to tighten. 6:20 Do the same for the rear straps. Be toward the rear of the rear windows (end closest to trunk) to get max grip. 6:50 Position the ratchet and hooks a bit higher then again With one hand holding that free end down, use your other hand to ratchet up and down to tighten. 7:30 To UNDO the ratchet, hold the release button up as you pull down on the ratchet all the way down until it opens full parallel 180 degrees, at which point it will suddenly stop latching. Now you can pull the bottom strap off. 7:50 Summary. Buy ratchet strap at least 15 feet long and rated at least 400lbs strength. Need at least 2 sets, but could also use 3 sets of ratchet straps if you want to be extra secure. 8:10 You can then close your windows to have yet another thing holding the straps securely.
Honestly a single 2-inch strap was enough force for me. I did it with one. Full size mattress + box spring. 55 MPH. Because the extra compression/springs and surface conformity of the mattress creates a ton of friction to make it stay put.
Right? When I first clicked I was like, "How can this possibly be 9 minutes?" Proceeded to watch the entire thing and really buy into what this guy had to tell me about ratchet straps
Sal is a champ, moved my new mattress on 1.5 hour drive over two bridges. No lost flying mattress, made it to destination, ratchet straps huge help, great piece of mind.
Followed these directions for a 10 hour drive and safely transported my mattress with no problem! I checked on it every time I stopped and tightened the straps a few times, but it was probably unnecessary as it was securely on there. Thanks Sal!
I watched this video last night. Followed Sleepy Sal's instructions this afternoon and transported my son's full mattress and box spring on top of his Subaru Outback to his new college apartment. Sal's gives clear and thorough instructions. Watch this video and feel confident! If I can do it, you can do it! Thank you Sleepy Sal!
I was at the point to just give up and get a truck... But this video was crystal clear, and made me feel secure about driving with a mattress on top of my vehicle. It worked perfect... Thank you for this video
I don't know how I stumbled upon this video because I wasn't looking for instructions to move a mattress BUT I gave up trying to use ratchet straps a long time ago as I couldn't figure out how to use them. Here comes this video!!! I am going to go find an old ratchet strap and try this out. Thanks Sal!
I am moving from alabam to florida is it possibly to get pulled over and are the rules or regulations of how much overhang I have read a lot of things saying it is legal but still have friends saying it is illegal please help
This video saved me so much money on transportation. I was really nervous at first going on the highway with a queen size mattress and box spring, but once I got the ratchet straps on (I used three - 500lb straps) it felt realllllyyyy secure. I followed is directions exactly step by step and now I am 1000% confident the next time we have to move. Harbor Freight had the straps he’s using for 11.99 for the 4pack and the ones I used were 3.99 each (blue)
As I said that I will post my review after we reach the destination, We put our full size beautyrest mattress with bunkie board on top of SUV exactly as Sleep Sal showed, with the same brand racket straps. Since ours was suv we put 2 through the door in the front and 2 through the window in the rear. We drove without any issues @ 70 mph for 300 miles. We did have rain in the forecast so our mattress had double plastic cover and trussed with thick string. It took a long time for trussing this one but it also helped us in bringing down from our apartment and taking it up to another apartment. Thank you Sleepy Sal, without your video, we would not have done this adventure.
Great advice Sleepy Sal!! It worked for me. I just moved my mattress from my old apartment to a new one. I did not havw to rent a truck or a u haul thanks to you
Just used this method to strap a mattress to the roof of our car in freezing Chicago temperatures and light snow - worked like charm! Thanks, Sleepy Sal!
Based on the comments, I’m going with this method. I’m moving to a different city tomorrow and I’m a nervous wreck but the way how he explained it made me feel calm and confident to do this now.
Thank you SO much for posting this video. We’re getting a brand new mattress for extremely cheap through a friend, and we were concerned about truck rentals and traveling all that bull and money piling up, you just saved us a ton of money, this is awesome!!!
We moved from Indiana to Arizona, and this really was a helpful video for us. We couldn't afford the trailer, so we decided to put the mattress on top of our suv. Our family laughed at us, but it genuinely worked perfectly fine. This method really saved us money and prevented us from getting rid of our mattress and having to pay for another. Thank you for this!
Sleepy sal, it’s 630pm and my partner and I were packing, they were grumpy because we packed everything and couldn’t figure out how to fit the bed on top of our car. We TH-camd how to do this and your instructions were so clear, we had the straps and as I type our queen mattress is secure on top of our car and we’re finally heading home. Thanks man.
this video was a life saver! I was sobbing out of frustration, but with this video i was able to strap my mattress on by myself!!! I’m a tiny women with only a latter. thank you!
Great advice. To add to it further, put microfiber washcloths or other soft material between the strap and the door or window jam. This prevents the strap from scuffing or scratching your cars paint or damaging moldings/weather-strip.
True, if you have a very nice vehicle, you may want to take the extra step. I have used ratchet straps several thousand times and have never had a single incident of damaged paint. I can see that it is possible, so taking the precaution may be wise on some vehicles.
I’m about to do this soon and this was one of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen. Not just on this topic, but the best tutorial period. Thank you Sleepy Sal!
Thank you Sal! Awesome video for anyone looking to transport a mattress, with precise details you'll fell confident that the thing won't fly off your car at 65 mph. I moved a mattress 185 miles, all highway miles without worrying about a thing.
Thank you. Just got two 15ft x 1in, 300 lbs, cap., to haul a queen sized mattress on a 2007 Prius, similar to the video. Worked like a charm and your instructions were fabulous. 👍🏾
Life saver! Had no idea what strap to use or buy, much less the sense on how to use it. All I knew is bungees as a kid seeing my parents do it. Thank you sir I’ve learned a lot today!
Awesome!! This worked perfectly and was very easy to follow (especially because I’m the least handy person I know) and do ourselves! Thank you so much Sleepy Sal!
Salute! Sleepy Sal coming through for us knuckleheads thats done this tons of times with their dad but never paid attention to the actual details of how these damn straps work!😂
Thank you so much for this video. I had the help from a girl friend to put the mattress and box spring on top of my car. And, I was able to drive more than 200 km, on the highway, at a relatively fast pace, with a bit of rain. There was no issue at all. Thanks again.
Thank you very much sleepy Sal you saved me from having to hire a van to pick up a super king size mattress 60 miles away. Good looking out brother love and blessings from your Uk bro 🙏🏽
Thanks so much for your video! We just got a mattress to take up to my son's room for college and wanted to do it safely. Your video is so helpful!! Thanks again!
Thank you so much. I wasn’t sure about transporting my old mattress to a friend an hour away with my Dodge Caliber. Now I feel more secure about doing it.
Wonderful! You rock, Sleepy Sal! I've moved many a mattress but feel even more skilled now with your video and great tips. Grateful for your quality step-by-step and suggestions.
This video was amazing! I happened to be close to a harbor freight with the same straps for $12. It was easy and saved me from getting someone to drive an hour out to pick up the mattress. I wouldn't have been comfortable using ropes. Thank you! 60mph was fine didn't want to push it
God bless you Mr. Sal .. We are in Louisiana trying to get back home to Maryland .. I have speakers to transport and luggage . with three children in my Prius thank you so much . because I almost lost hope .. I didn't know how I was going to do it .. I had brought those straps from Walmart. Lol but I didn't even understand how to use them . you are a blessing .. And god sent .. What's the odds that u were using the same car that I have .😇😇😇😇😃
Perfect! And you've just saved me $100 on a U-Haul rental to pick up a headboard I bought on FB Marketplace for $80!! I'm so glad I checked out your video too because I also drive a smaller Toyota.
Well, thank you for making your video Sal. Well, thank you for making your video. Sal used your advice. It was perfect your play-by-play or step-by-step video. I use the exact same straps from Harbor freight to take an extra long twin mattress on a sedan car. I used all four of the Harbor freight straps the exact ones that you used. We’re only 799 at Harbor freight so that was cool and I took your advice to put something underneath my antenna receiver I was driving 75 miles an hour on the freeway had no problems. Thank you.
Great lesson on using ratchet straps, couldn't be explained more simply and consice! Thank you Sal! You've gained a new follower and I look forward to seeing what other knowledge you offer.
This guy is a great teacher! :) Sal you deserve an award for this! I am serious haha this video is helping humanity one bed and box frame transfer at a time!
I got a free full mattress on the marketplace and I have a Honda Civic and I almost rented a truck but I found your video and you gave me hope!! Will come back to tell you how it went! Thank youuuuu
This was a great explanation! I need to move my daughters mattress today and I drive a SUV. I’m on my way to buy some ratchet straps. Simple explanation too. Thanks can wait to see what other helpful videos you put out !
I'm so glad TH-cam is here to teach me the things my parents never did 😅 This was clear, concise, and incredibly helpful. This will save me a bunch of money. Thanks Sal!
Your advice saved me, otherwise I would not have bought ratchet-straps and use the rope instead. I discovered that up to 35mph it worked well, but when I tried to drive faster, the mattress was going upwards.So, I didn't want to risk and arrived safely (some 50miles) driving slowly. By the way, yes,king size one.
That was such nicely explained, thanks for sharing this video. Tomorrow I am bringing home queen mattress from Costco on my CRV and like this will be so much easy. Now I don't have to rely on someone who has a truck or van, thanks again.
I was going to have my mattress and box spring delivered from Costco. But after seeing this video, I decided to do it on myself. Thank you, Sleepy Sal!
Yo Sal thank you are the man I strapped a beautyrest silver mattress and 5" box spring on the upper west side of Manhattan NY and drove 70 miles to Dutchess County NY at 55 mph with 4 rachet straps it was stuck on the roof of my toyota matrix like fly paper. If you where in NYC I'd buy you lunch brother!!!
Really helpful video, Sal. Thank you! It definitely will work with queen size single mattress. I need to understand if this technique can also be used for a queen size double mattress without a box. Your wings comment kind of told me that there could possibly be a different technique so such a mattress. Thanks.
Getting ready to move a mattress and this video was SO helpful! The only thing I would change or that would have made it more helpful is to show the packaging for the ratchet straps so we can see what brand you used and also share where to get them. I’ve never moved a mattress and would have appreciated that. Thanks for this video! ✨
Thank you so much for this video my daughter and I are helping her move and if we can transport her mattresses like this we are going to save some money on movers! Thanks again this was so cool
Great video followed the steps that you gave. It was a little difficult trying to find a 15-ft ratchet strap pack, but the 16 ft pack that I got worked extremely well
This method worked perfectly well on an hour drive over the highway. The mattress was snug all the way through without any issues. I am sure this will work for a longer haul too. Thanks Sal!
this video saved me from renting a truck or trailer, plus the associated increased gas costs. I also put the metal frame on top of the box spring. used 4-15 ft rachet straps. drove 100mi, 99% interstate, mostly 55 mph, brief stints slightly above 55. we did this on a sunday so traffic was light. thx Sleepy Sal
Thanks man this video just literally saved me from embarrassment at Walmart. Got a 14 mustang and bought a 65 inch tv didn’t know what to do at first lol
Thank you so much!! Ive been worried about picking up my boxspring because I only have an SUV no truck. Now I feel confident that I can safely transport it AND I know exactly the kind of straps I need. Very very useful. Keep up the good work 🙌
Update: we transported our boxspring on top of my Santa Fe SUV using 3 ratchet straps (I bought them rated at 1000lbs) and it was sooooo windy, but nothing moved an inch using the tips in this video. I am beyond thrilled because this means I no longer need to rely on people with a truck anymore ☺️ thank you! 🙏
For anyone looking to move their mattress, look no further! This method worked perfectly on our drive from Los Angeles to Seattle! We drove through rain storms, snow storms, and coastal winds with no issues. Thanks so much Sleepy Sal!!
That's great! How fast did you drive and what kind of car did you use? I'm hoping my VW Jetta will be alright on my 2.5 hour journey that will require significant time on the freeway

@@oliviapugsley9587 Awesome thank you! I will do my best to avoid as much of the freeway as well. Good advice
Hi I have question: is the police stop you because you carry mattress on top of your SUV?
Is it legal to bring the mattress on top of your car?
Thank you
Welly Hartono Nope! And we drove past several police cars on our drive. Nobody seemed to care.
1:20 Ratchet straps at least 15 feet long
2:20 Unscrew the flexible antenna from your roof. Put cardboard over the remaining stub of the antenna.
2:40 Quilt/Soft side of mattress down to protect your vehicle.

Thank you also. Hyw safety is 100% vip. However, still many don't get it

Thanks this was very helpful.
Extremely detailed yet SIMPLE, and clear instructions. Liked.
What's the mpg after the upgrade?
this is the oddly specific highly quality useful content i live for

just wanted to post i strapped my queen size mattress to the top of my old as heck camry and drove it 300 miles with no trouble. You are a life saver.
Thanks uncle! Me and my sister both pulled your video up and effortlessly were taught

The hook in hook is an amazing tip that im surprised I've never thought of myself. I'm 43 & still learning all the time.

SLEEPY SAL YOU’RE THE MAN!!!! Thank you for teaching me how to do this!!! I’d be lost without you bro!! God bless 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you for your kind words.. :) Hope you are having an amazing weekend so far.

You saved my move Sal!! Wouldn’t have a bed with out you! Delivered my KING SIZE MATTRESS for about 20 mins away! Thank you!
This might be the best instructional video I’ve ever seen anyone make! Hats off! 👍

I just stacked a queen mattress, a full mattress and a full box spring and drove over 100 miles in a VW Passat using this method! Thanks Sal!
Nice work!
this video was a life saver! I was sobbing out of frustration, but with this video i was able to strap my mattress on by myself!!! I’m a tiny women with only a latter. thank you!
Thanks for this comment. I’m short and I’ll be doing this on Wednesday
Thanks for making this! Don’t have a dad so seeing something like this helps a ton.
Excellent video. Ten different websites told me "don't do it". Sleepy Sal was clear and concise with simple instructions.
Great advice. To add to it further, put microfiber washcloths or other soft material between the strap and the door or window jam. This prevents the strap from scuffing or scratching your cars paint or damaging moldings/weather-strip.
True, if you have a very nice vehicle, you may want to take the extra step. I have used ratchet straps several thousand times and have never had a single incident of damaged paint. I can see that it is possible, so taking the precaution may be wise on some vehicles.
I’m about to do this soon and this was one of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen. Not just on this topic, but the best tutorial period. Thank you Sleepy Sal!

Salute! Sleepy Sal coming through for us knuckleheads thats done this tons of times with their dad but never paid attention to the actual details of how these damn straps work!😂
I’m moving in a few weeks and was worried how I’d get my mattress before I hired movers. So thankful I came across this video! 👏🏾🥰
Glad it was helpful!
Detailed! Direct! Simple and quick video. Great visuals and tribal knowledge. Perfect video!
Glad you liked it!
Great video! the lady running with the lawnmower in the background is a plus
Fantastic video. Clear, concise, comprehensive.
Of all the videos I have seen this is the best! Simple and plain other ones are confusing and make no sense thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I had the help from a girl friend to put the mattress and box spring on top of my car. And, I was able to drive more than 200 km, on the highway, at a relatively fast pace, with a bit of rain. There was no issue at all. Thanks again.
It took me 40 minutes and I watched this video over and over … but I did it all by myself and I’m so thankful to you!!!….. 🙂🙂🙂
This was incredibly helpful, thank you! Very well-explained and thorough without giving too much unnecessary information. Thanks again!
Thank you very much sleepy Sal you saved me from having to hire a van to pick up a super king size mattress 60 miles away. Good looking out brother love and blessings from your Uk bro 🙏🏽
Not gonna lie, this video was very simple, and very easy to follow. Thank you so much for making it.
Excellent video Sleepy Sal. I could've used this a couple of days ago. 👍🇺🇸👍
Thanks!! I bought a tool shed and didn't know how to transport it from Home Depot to my house. This solved it. You are awesome!!
I liked the way he explained it. He made it easy to understand. Thanks maybe one day I could use this when I move.
Thank you! This video is so clear and I feel capable of moving a mattress now
Thanks so much for your video! We just got a mattress to take up to my son's room for college and wanted to do it safely. Your video is so helpful!! Thanks again!
Thank you so much. I wasn’t sure about transporting my old mattress to a friend an hour away with my Dodge Caliber. Now I feel more secure about doing it.
The leather vest sold me. Thank you, Sleepy Sal!
Wonderful! You rock, Sleepy Sal! I've moved many a mattress but feel even more skilled now with your video and great tips. Grateful for your quality step-by-step and suggestions.
You can buy similar straps from Home Depot they cost around $25. The straps I use worked from Chicago to Seattle and back with no issues!
This video was amazing! I happened to be close to a harbor freight with the same straps for $12. It was easy and saved me from getting someone to drive an hour out to pick up the mattress. I wouldn't have been comfortable using ropes. Thank you! 60mph was fine didn't want to push it
God bless you Mr. Sal .. We are in Louisiana trying to get back home to Maryland .. I have speakers to transport and luggage . with three children in my Prius thank you so much . because I almost lost hope .. I didn't know how I was going to do it .. I had brought those straps from Walmart. Lol but I didn't even understand how to use them . you are a blessing .. And god sent .. What's the odds that u were using the same car that I have .😇😇😇😇😃
Thank you so much Sleep Sal! I thought I'd ran out of ideas on how to transport my mattress! You're the best, thank you!
Thank you so much!!! This is really helpful and practical. You saved my moving!
I really appreciate that you also show us how to unstrap the ratchet.
Love this video, it was so helpful!! Moving without my dad to help for the first time and really needed this 😅😅
Perfect! And you've just saved me $100 on a U-Haul rental to pick up a headboard I bought on FB Marketplace for $80!! I'm so glad I checked out your video too because I also drive a smaller Toyota.
Amazing video! I love how much detail you’ve added. I feel so calm & confident in being able to move my new bed with no issues 🤗
Glad it was helpful!
This was so through! I really did not want to have to rent a uhaul. Thanks Sleepy Sal 😊
I’ve moved 2 mattresses and box springs with this method. It has never failed me
Well, thank you for making your video Sal.
Well, thank you for making your video. Sal used your advice. It was perfect your play-by-play or step-by-step video. I use the exact same straps from Harbor freight to take an extra long twin mattress on a sedan car. I used all four of the Harbor freight straps the exact ones that you used.

Thanks a lot Sleepy Sal! Just loaded my mattress like you showed on my Tahoe right now! Much appreciated!
Great lesson on using ratchet straps, couldn't be explained more simply and consice! Thank you Sal! You've gained a new follower and I look forward to seeing what other knowledge you offer.
Thanks for the sub!
This guy is a great teacher! :) Sal you deserve an award for this! I am serious haha this video is helping humanity one bed and box frame transfer at a time!
Best explanation video I’ve seen in a while! Thanks, Sleepy Sal!
I got a free full mattress on the marketplace and I have a Honda Civic and I almost rented a truck but I found your video and you gave me hope!! Will come back to tell you how it went! Thank youuuuu
It went great!! Who needs a truck!! Thank you sooo much!!
This was a great explanation! I need to move my daughters mattress today and I drive a SUV. I’m on my way to buy some ratchet straps. Simple explanation too. Thanks can wait to see what other helpful videos you put out !
Thanks Sleepy Sal for making videos like these! Very helpful
I'm so glad TH-cam is here to teach me the things my parents never did 😅 This was clear, concise, and incredibly helpful. This will save me a bunch of money. Thanks Sal!
Thank you Sal. Moving my mattress this way literally saves me $750.
Thank you so much! Very informative and I love your personality.
Chalk up another successful bed move using Sal's method! 👍🏼👍🏼
NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD NEED TO SEE A VID LIKE THIS BUT THANK YOU
5 STAR VIDEO... CLEARLY EXPLAINED ...THANK YOU !!!
Great video! Now, if only I had a Smart Car to try this with, LOL! Thanks again, Sleepy Sal!
This was so informative and makes so much sense!-Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

That was such nicely explained, thanks for sharing this video. Tomorrow I am bringing home queen mattress from Costco on my CRV and like this will be so much easy. Now I don't have to rely on someone who has a truck or van, thanks again.
Glad it was helpful!
I was going to have my mattress and box spring delivered from Costco. But after seeing this video, I decided to do it on myself. Thank you, Sleepy Sal!
Wonderful!
This is so thorough and helpful! Thank you for the details, like how to undo the strap!
Yo Sal thank you are the man I strapped a beautyrest silver mattress and 5" box spring on the upper west side of Manhattan NY and drove 70 miles to Dutchess County NY at 55 mph with 4 rachet straps it was stuck on the roof of my toyota matrix like fly paper. If you where in NYC I'd buy you lunch brother!!!
What about forward momentum as the car travels down the road? Can I go on the freeway? Thanks for the video!
Used this today and it worked beautifully! Great video.
Really helpful video, Sal. Thank you! It definitely will work with queen size single mattress. I need to understand if this technique can also be used for a queen size double mattress without a box. Your wings comment kind of told me that there could possibly be a different technique so such a mattress. Thanks.
Thankyou for the no nonsense straight forward guide 👍🏻
This was so helpful, thank you! I wish you made the instructional videos for all the areas of my life :)
God bless you sleepy Sal; You're everybody's pal!
Getting ready to move a mattress and this video was SO helpful! The only thing I would change or that would have made it more helpful is to show the packaging for the ratchet straps so we can see what brand you used and also share where to get them. I’ve never moved a mattress and would have appreciated that. Thanks for this video! ✨
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this video my daughter and I are helping her move and if we can transport her mattresses like this we are going to save some money on movers! Thanks again this was so cool
Great video followed the steps that you gave. It was a little difficult trying to find a 15-ft ratchet strap pack, but the 16 ft pack that I got worked extremely well
Glad it helped!
Thank you everyone for checking out this video and leaving some amazing comments! :)
We love you ..
This method worked perfectly well on an hour drive over the highway. The mattress was snug all the way through without any issues. I am sure this will work for a longer haul too. Thanks Sal!
Great to hear!
thank you for this video. very straight forward and informative. plus sleepy sal looks friendly. i like that. :)
this video saved me from renting a truck or trailer, plus the associated increased gas costs. I also put the metal frame on top of the box spring. used 4-15 ft rachet straps. drove 100mi, 99% interstate, mostly 55 mph, brief stints slightly above 55. we did this on a sunday so traffic was light. thx Sleepy Sal
Thanks man this video just literally saved me from embarrassment at Walmart. Got a 14 mustang and bought a 65 inch tv didn’t know what to do at first lol
Thank you so much!! Ive been worried about picking up my boxspring because I only have an SUV no truck. Now I feel confident that I can safely transport it AND I know exactly the kind of straps I need. Very very useful. Keep up the good work 🙌
Update: we transported our boxspring on top of my Santa Fe SUV using 3 ratchet straps (I bought them rated at 1000lbs) and it was sooooo windy, but nothing moved an inch using the tips in this video.
I am beyond thrilled because this means I no longer need to rely on people with a truck anymore ☺️ thank you! 🙏
This video has now gotten me through two mattress moves! Thank you!
