Moving an adjustable bed

[tml]

Need some advice on this. please. We have to move an adjustable bed down one floor for my elderly Father. The problem is these beds are a little more complicated than regular beds, and it was assembled by the original delivery people. I called 3 local companies that sell these types of beds to ask if I could hire their delivery people to move the bed and all said no. I'm assuming the best way to move it is to disassemble, move, and reassemble. Can anyone recommend movers that can properly move an item like this? Thanks in advance.

The simplest solution is to take the mattress off and haul the bed down with the help of several people. Go online to the manufacturers site and see if they have assembly ( disassembly ) instructions. Go to Google images and google the manuafactuires name and bed model and paste a pic on this thread so that we can get a better idea of the situation.

Call a mover! Probably will be a bit expensive but breaking the bed will be much more so!

tml had one here, it was a bitch getting it in the house. Gave it away after the wife's mother passed, and the people we gave it to partially disassembled it and it went out the doors and on to the back of a half ton, thankfully never to be seen by me again. This thing was an electric hospital bed, and the guy took a couple of pieces of it off so it would fit through the doors, Thing was incredibly heavy. Had to take the bedroom door off too. I think Perry is right call a mover.

Perhaps check youtube for dis assembly instructions if you are mechanically inclined.

If the bed is an single adjustable bed, it shouldn't be to difficult to do it yourself to disassemble and reassemble (better with 2 people) with the help of 'YouTube' if you forget on how to reassemble. I found with these types of beds, it's much easier to connect the rod that attaches to the motor with 2 people and the mattress is light enough for one person to carry if you're just going down just one floor.

What a great response, thank you everyone!!! My preference is to hire movers, but my concern is they will try and move it like a regular bed and damage it. I'll send some e-mails to moving companies and see what they say. You guys are the best.
