Disassemble the Frame:

Separate Headboard and Footboard:
- If your bed has a headboard and footboard, carefully remove them from the frame.
- Store any associated hardware in separate bags or boxes and label them accordingly.
Disassemble Slats or Support System:
- If your bed has slats or a specific support system, remove them.
- Ensure they are labeled and bundled together for easy reassembly.
Protect Fragile Parts, Frame and Components:
- Wrap fragile or decorative components, such as finials or ornate bedposts, in bubble wrap or furniture blankets to prevent damage during transit.
- Cover the frame pieces, headboard, footboard, and any other disassembled parts with furniture blankets or bubble wrap to prevent scratches and damage.

Secure Hardware and Wrap the frame:
- Tape the bags or containers with hardware securely to one of the frame pieces or another component to keep them organized and easily accessible.
- Use plastic wrap or bubble wrap to secure the disassembled frame parts together.
- This will help prevent them from shifting or getting separated during the move.
Unload and Reassemble:
- Carefully unload the bed components at your new location.
- Follow the reverse steps for reassembly, using the labeled hardware bags to guide yoU.
Make, Set Up and Enjoy Your Bed:
- Once the frame is reassembled, lay the mattress and box spring on it.
- Reattach the headboard, footboard, slats, or other components as necessary.
- Finally, make your bed with fresh bedding and enjoy a good night’s sleep in your new space.
