  • Patent number: 5863056
    Abstract: A complete mattress moving system which includes a horizontal strap with two detachable, rotating and adjustable handles, a pair of vertical straps each with an expandable, detachable and position adjustable castered platform. The horizontal strap wraps around and is secured to the mattress lengthwise while the handles are positioned on opposite mattress end edges, the vertical straps extend from the horizontal strap on opposite sides of the mattress and wrap halfway around the mattress widthwise, while the castered platforms are positioned on the mattress side edges and slidably attached to each vertical strap. Quick-release buckles allow the horizontal and vertical straps to be adjusted to fit any size mattress, box springs or other similarly shaped object to be moved. The system allows a mattress to be moved by a single worker, helps prevent injuries, and provides a quick and easy device for handling and moving a mattress.
