Hi mattress experts.

We have recently bought a King Size Euro Coolmax Performance 1500 Pocket Sprung Memory Foam Mattress.
 
We are about to move house and don't plan to get a very big van. The only (potential) problem is the mattress. 
 
Is it possible to compress, bend, roll or fold in half this mattress? To fit into a small van (similar to image here)
 
 
We aren't moving far so the mattress won't need to be folded for long, an hour maximum.
 
Is this a wise thing to attempt? will it cause lasting damage? 
 
Thanks all

I had a look at that mattress and it does have real springs in it. It can probably bend a little bit but no way should you fold it in half. Metal does not like bending like that.

No way. Isn't the cost of a bigger truck smaller than that if a new mattress?

pocket springs should never be pressured that much.

You need a machine to compress the mattress into a large bag. Maybe you can ask for help from the courier company. 100 percent memory foam mattress or others.
