Double mattress: moving volume and packing
Double mattress: 0.2 m³, 0.067 LDM. Bag it, carry it on edge with straps and load it flat.
A double mattress is rated at about 0.2 m³ and 0.067 load metres, the same as a single because volume is counted per piece. Its size, not its volume, decides how it goes into the van: flat on a clean floor or standing on edge. Always use a bag and two carrying straps.
