captpierre Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) Maybe a silly question but I need to take a queen bedset to the cottage on my Safari's roofrack. What would be the best arrangement? Boxspring below or on top? Or does it matter. 1.5 hr trip. I want to make sure it is secure. Lots of good memories on this bed. don't want to lose it peter Edited April 25, 2013 by captpierre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Box spring on bottom and make sure you have straps front to back as well as side to side. The boxspring will keep the mattress from being pushed down and the straps will keep it from being pushed up. Don't want this to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimsbylander Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Adding a sheet of plywood is good cheap insurance. Even if you have to buy one, you'll use it for something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlowPoke Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Box spring on top!!! Bag them if possible... mattress shops will usually give you a couple bags. Lay the mattress on the roof, box on top. Tape or rope the two together, then strap or rope them to the rack. Side to side AND front to back. Take your time driving and check your load OFTEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
