About this product
The bit of a move that ruins a mattress is the doorway.
A thick tarpaulin bag with reinforced handles and a full-length zip. Reusable, so it is still there for the next move and for storage in between.
A mattress survives a move or it does not, and the damage is almost always mechanical: a doorframe, a stair edge, a wet driveway.
This is a thick tarpaulin bag with a full-length zip and eight reinforced handles, sized to the mattress.
It is reusable, so it does the move and then does the storage.
Everybody imagines the mattress getting dirty. What actually happens is that it gets torn, scuffed on a stair nosing, or dropped on a driveway that turns out to be wet. A thin plastic sleeve does nothing about any of that; it splits at the first corner and the tape lets go in the van.
This is a tarpaulin bag, which is a different class of thing. It is thick, it resists tearing, and the seams are reinforced where a bag normally gives way. The zip runs the length of it so a mattress goes in flat rather than being wrestled through an opening.
The handles are the part people notice on the day. There are eight of them, placed so two people can grip a queen mattress at sensible points and steer it through a doorway instead of hugging it and hoping. A mattress with handles is a two-person job; a mattress without them is an argument.
It is water repellent rather than sealed. It will shrug off rain between the house and the van and a damp concrete floor in a storage unit. It is not a dry bag, so do not treat it as one for a long stint outdoors.
Because it is reusable, it keeps working after the move. Most of these end up storing the spare mattress, with the ID tag filled in so nobody has to unzip three bags to find out what is in them.
Still deciding?
Not sure yet? That is fine.
You can change your mind. Under our own policy you have 30 days from delivery on any unused item in its original packaging; you pay the return postage. Australian law gives no statutory cooling-off period for an online purchase, so that window is ours rather than a legal right.
If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. Under the Australian Consumer Law you are entitled to a repair, a replacement or a refund. We pay the return postage and nothing on this page limits any of it. Read the detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.
There are five sizes: Single, Double, Queen, King and California King. Buy the one that matches the mattress. A bag a size too small cannot be zipped without straining the seam, and one two sizes too big is harder to carry.
Is this mattress bag reusable?
Yes! Unlike thin disposable plastic covers, our mattress bag for moving is built from thick, tear-resistant tarpaulin material designed for multiple uses. Its a cost-effective investment for anyone who moves frequently or needs ongoing storage protection.
How many handles does the mattress bag have?
Our mattress moving bag features 8 strategically placed reinforced handles. These handles reduce strain and improve control when lifting, navigating stairs, or maneuvering through tight doorways and spaces.
Is the mattress bag waterproof?
The mattress storage bag is water repellent, providing excellent protection against moisture, spills, and humidity. This makes it ideal for storage in basements, attics, garages, or storage units where moisture can be a concern.
How does the zipper closure work?
The heavy-duty smooth-glide zipper provides secure, full enclosure protection for your mattress. Simply slide your mattress inside and zip it closed for complete coverage against dust, dirt, moisture, and damage.
Can I use this bag for long-term storage?
Absolutely! This mattress storage cover is perfect for long-term storage. The durable tarpaulin material protects against dust, moisture, pests, and environmental damage whether storing for weeks, months, or years.
What is the mattress bag made of?
Our mattress protective cover for moving is crafted from thick, high-quality tarpaulin material with reinforced construction. This heavy-duty material is specifically designed to handle lifting, loading, and transport without splitting or tearing.
Does it come with an ID tag?
Yes! The mattress bag includes a convenient ID tag insert, making identification easy when you have multiple items in storage. Simply write the contents or destination on the tag for quick reference.
Is this better than plastic mattress covers?
Far better! Unlike thin, flimsy plastic covers that rip easily, our heavy duty mattress bag is built from tear-resistant tarpaulin with reinforced handles and a durable zipper. Its reusable, provides superior protection, and wont split during your move.
What other moving supplies should I use with this?
Moving blankets for the corners and edges of hard furniture are worth having, and a trolley if there are stairs. We sell the mattress bag rather than a full moving range, so those come from a hire company or a hardware shop.
How do I clean the mattress bag?
Simply wipe down the tarpaulin material with a damp cloth to remove any dust or dirt. Allow it to dry completely before storing for your next use. The durable material cleans easily and maintains its protective properties.
Can I use this for a mattress topper as well?
Yes! While designed for queen mattresses, the bag can also protect mattress toppers, memory foam pads, and bedding during moving or storage. The flexible design accommodates various bedding thicknesses.
What is the bag made of?
A thick tarpaulin with reinforced construction at the seams, which is what separates it from the thin plastic sleeves that split on the first doorframe.
Is it waterproof?
It is water repellent rather than sealed. It will shrug off rain between the house and the van and a damp concrete floor in a storage unit. It is not a dry bag, so do not leave it outdoors for a long stint.
How many handles does it have?
Eight reinforced handles, placed so two people can grip a mattress at sensible points and steer it through a doorway rather than hugging it.

The one that matches the mattress: Single, Double, Queen, King or California King. A bag a size too small cannot be zipped without straining the seam, and one two sizes too big is harder to carry.
Can I use it more than once?
Yes, that is the point of it. Most of these do the move and then store the spare mattress afterwards.

Yes. Air the mattress and let both it and the bag dry completely before zipping it up. Storing anything slightly damp is the one reliable way to ruin a mattress in a unit.

Will it fit a mattress topper as well?
It will hold a topper, a memory foam pad or bedding during a move. Buy the size that matches whatever is going inside it.
Is it better than a plastic mattress cover?
For a move, yes: plastic sleeves tear at corners and the tape lets go in the van. This is tarpaulin with reinforced seams and a full length zip.

The complete guide
Getting a mattress through a move undamaged
3 min readMattress Protector Company Australia
Buy for the mattress, not the room
The bag is sized to the mattress, so measure it rather than going by what the bed is called. A mattress in a bag one size too small cannot be zipped without straining the seam, and one in a bag two sizes too big flaps around and is harder to carry.
Handles change how it is carried
Without handles a mattress is carried by pinching the edges, which is why it ends up bent, dropped or scraped. Eight reinforced handles let two people lift from proper points and keep it flat through a doorway. That is the difference between a mattress that arrives and one that arrives creased.
Dry before storage, always
The one way to ruin a mattress in storage is to zip it up slightly damp. Air it, wipe the bag out, and let both dry completely before it goes into a unit or a garage for months.
