How do I secure my matress and box spring on a pick up truck?

Question

the truck should be a f-150. like i said, all I have is the matress and box spring and 5 boxes full of clothes only... How do I secure the stuff? I'm moving about 5 mins away from where I currently live.

Answer 1

If you want use a piece of cardboard or something under the string so it cant mess up your matress. Its fine if it hangs over  because it shouldnt hang over by to much..if you cant use a light duty rope or strong string.

Answer 2

well put the boxes in first, then put the springs and mattress on. tie it down with rope. should be okay. If its a big mattress it may hang over a bit but what can you do?

Answer 3

9 out of ten state troopers recomend not trying to sleep and drive at the same time!!!
