Lower Mount Royal Self Storage, located in Lower Mount Royal, Alberta Canada has a lot of moving supplies to sell.  Some of the products you may find necessary but some you may look at and wonder why you would ever need such a thing.   It is easy to understand why Lower Mount Royal Self Storage would sell boxes and tape.  After all, when you are relocating across the country or just moving across town, those are the first things that come to mind.  But something that may not be the first to come to mind would be plastic covers for your mattresses.

For some reason people have no problem spending large amounts of money on packing the dishes, books, old mementos and clothes in cardboard boxes.  But when it comes to the items they lay their head on every night, they feel that chucking their sleep number bed on the floor of a moving truck is just fine.  First the mattress might lie in the yard while waiting for its place in the moving truck.  Then it travels with all of the other belongings to a unit in Lower Mount Royal Self Storage. Once it arrives at its permanent or temporary home, it may be chucked on the ground while it waits its turn to be stored or to be reassembled in the new home.  Lower Mount Royal Self Storage is a professional self storage business, but even the best places can’t protect an unprotected mattress that has been subjected to the rigors of a move.  There might be oil on the sides where the mattress was drug through an old garage, or maybe some road salt inadvertently entered the moving van on its way to the new location.  If treated like an old shoe, the mattress will have a shortened life, and will definitely not perform like something you plan on sleeping on for the next umpteen years.  Mattresses are notoriously difficult to clean once damage like this has been done.  Even after an attempt at cleaning they are rarely the same.

Now look at the same trip in a mattress that has been protected by a plastic mattress bag.  As soon as the mattress is removed from the bed it is slid snugly in to its temporary shelter.  A plastic force field protecting it from the oil in the garage, the neighbor’s dog that decided to help out with the move, the road salt left over from one of those Lower Mount Royal winter storms or maybe just some good old fashioned mud.  This mattress doesn’t care because it is protected.  For a few measly dollars, you are now sleeping on something that is as clean as the day it left your old home.  It doesn’t care if it sets in a self storage unit for six months or if it is laid in the yard for a day during a short snow shower.  It will be clean.

There are thousands of homes in Lower Mount Royal and thousands of self storage units.  If one was to go door to door they would find many a person who wished they had known about this marvel of modern science.  Oh what a difference a plastic mattress cover can make in your next move.
