How to Transport a Bed in Nairobi
The best way to transport a bed is to prepare it properly before loading.
A typical bed can be easier and safer to transport when it is dismantled into smaller sections.
Dismantle the Bed Before Transport
Dismantling a bed makes it easier to carry through doorways, staircases, corridors and apartment lifts.
Depending on the design of the bed, you may need to remove:
Headboard
Footboard
Side boards
Centre supports
Other removable sections
Use the correct tools for the bed fittings. A screwdriver, spanner or Allen key may be required depending on the type of bed.
Keep all screws, bolts and fittings together in a labelled bag so they don't get lost.
How Much Does It Cost to Dismantle a Bed?
If you need help dismantling your bed, we offer bed dismantling at KSh 0 per bed.
This can be useful when you don't have the right tools or would rather have the bed prepared professionally before transport.
Protect the Bed Parts to Avoid Scratches
Once the bed has been dismantled, protect the individual parts before loading them.
This is particularly important for wooden, painted, polished or upholstered beds.
You can use blankets, cardboard, bubble wrap or other suitable protective material around the parts.
The aim is to prevent the bed components from rubbing against each other or against other items during transport.
The mattress should also be protected from dust during the journey.
Use the Right Vehicle to Transport a Bed
The vehicle should have enough space for the dismantled bed frame and mattress.
A suitable cargo vehicle makes it easier to:
Load the bed safely
Keep the parts organized
Protect the mattress
Secure the furniture during the journey
Unload the bed at the destination
Before booking bed transport in Nairobi, provide the type and size of the bed so the transport arrangement is suitable for your furniture.
Check the Pickup and Delivery Access
Before arranging to transport a bed in Nairobi, check how the bed will be moved in and out of both properties.
Consider:
Door sizes
Staircases
Apartment lifts
Narrow corridors
Parking areas
Loading areas
If the bed is going into an apartment, tell us if there are stairs or other access challenges when booking.
This helps us prepare for the collection and delivery.
Reassemble the Bed at the Destination
After the bed reaches its destination, it needs to be assembled correctly before use.
All the original screws, bolts and fittings should be available.
If you need assistance, we offer bed reassembly at KSh 0 per bed.
