Moving House - Family Assistance
Discussion
So we're moving house on Friday. Our families have offered to help and we need it so we're grateful.
Question: How do you hide a stained matress from your parents and gf's parents? I know it sounds horrible but surely most of us have a few questionable stains on them?
Other 'private' items are in a sealed brown envelope so the gf's Mum doesn't expire when she helpfully carries a drawer carcass out to the delivery van.
N.B. I'm not buying a new matress. Yet.

Being serious now, maybe the best thing to go for would be a mattress cover? Your could buy a decent one that will wrap round. If any one asks, just say it's to stop the mattress getting dirty in transit, or that it's hypoallergenic and stops the mattress stuffing giving you allergy problems.

Wrap it in bubble wrap?
Or do that one yourself before anyone else arrives? Same goes with the brown envelope which I assume contains something decidely dodgy (in terms of not a family matter) - surely that's something you move yourself?

You don't.If her Dad hasn't worked out you've been banging her senseless thrice nightly since you moved in together then he isn't MALE!
It's not like it's unwashed pillow cases now is it!
If you're really concerned you can have the mattress professionally cleaned before they come to pick it up. Bloke comes around with a thing like a carpet cleaner and vacuums the crap right out of it.
