If you ve got a long trip from the bedroom to your vehicle this may require two people.
Step 1 take the bedding off of the memory foam mattress and remove it from the bed.
An suv or truck bed will make things easier but even if you have a small car you ll still be able to transport the bed if you can fold down the back seat.
With that said i would recommend not folding or rolling up a memory foam mattress and storing it unless it is very short term regardless if it was rolled up and vacuum sealed when you first purchased it.
Place your mattress on the bed of your choice.
The biggest risk of re rolling your mattress is the potential damage to the foam.

If you get a pocket coil spring mattress they are designed to pivot internally and are designed to bend up to 45 degrees without damage.
Unpack your roll up mattress and roll out to full size.
Allow your roll up mattress to expand slowly.
Plus there s a chance your mattress won t pop back up to its proper shape and you ll be out a bed.
