Single and Double Clear Polythene Mattress Bags – 250 Gauge / 62.5 Micron

Our single and double mattress bags provide a practical and economical way to protect mattresses during moving, handling, temporary storage, decorating and refurbishment work. Manufactured from clear 250 gauge / 62.5 micron polythene, these medium-duty mattress covers help prevent dust, dirt, moisture and general handling marks from reaching the mattress surface.

The clear material keeps the mattress visible, helping removal teams, warehouse employees and homeowners identify the contents without opening the bag. This visibility is particularly helpful when several mattresses or pieces of furniture are being stored or transported together.

Each mattress bag has an open-ended design, allowing it to be pulled over or around the mattress. Once the mattress is inside, secure the open end using suitable packaging tape or ties. The generously sized format provides room for the mattress depth, making the bags easier to fit than a flat cover with no allowance for thickness.

These clear mattress storage bags are available individually for occasional use or on rolls of approximately 50 bags for removal companies, furniture retailers, storage facilities and other businesses requiring larger quantities.

Mattress Bags Provide Reliable Protection During Moving and Storage

Mattresses can easily collect dust, dirt and marks when carried through doorways, placed in removal vehicles or kept in temporary storage. Our clear polythene mattress bags create a protective layer between the mattress and its surrounding environment.

They are particularly useful during home improvement work, helping protect mattresses from decorating dust, paint splashes and general building debris. They can also keep mattresses separated from floors, walls and other items while rooms are being cleared or refurbished.

Although the 250 gauge / 62.5 micron material provides dependable medium-duty protection, the bag should not replace careful handling. Avoid dragging a covered mattress across rough floors or sharp surfaces, as this may puncture or tear the polythene. Lift and carry the mattress correctly, using enough people for its size and weight.

These bags are intended primarily for moving, handling and temporary storage. For extended storage, ensure the mattress is completely clean and dry before covering it and keep it in a dry, well-ventilated location.

Available Mattress Bag Sizes

Our clear polythene mattress bags are available in two sizes:

• 38 x  44 × 86 inch / 965mm x 1118mm x 2184mm single mattress bags – designed to accommodate most standard single mattresses
• 54 × 63 × 86 inch / 1372mm x 1600mm x 2184mm double mattress bags – designed to accommodate most standard double mattresses

Measurements are shown as width × depth × length.

Mattress dimensions can vary between manufacturers, particularly for deep, pillow-top, orthopaedic and specialist mattresses. Therefore, always measure the complete mattress rather than relying only on its stated bed size.

Individual Mattress Bags and Rolls of 50 Mattress Bags

Both single and double mattress bags are available individually or on rolls of approximately 50 bags.

Individual bags suit households, students, decorators and customers who only need to protect one or two mattresses. Rolls offer a convenient bulk option for removal companies, self-storage businesses, mattress retailers, furniture manufacturers, landlords, hotels and property maintenance companies.

The bags supplied on rolls have perforations across the roll, allowing each mattress cover to be torn off when required. This format keeps unused bags organised while supporting quick and efficient dispensing.

How to Measure for a Mattress Bag

Measure the mattress carefully before choosing a bag. You will need to check:

1. The width of the mattress
2. The length of the mattress
3. The complete depth or thickness of the mattress

Include any permanently attached mattress toppers or padded sections in your measurements. Do not use the bed frame dimensions, as these may differ considerably from the mattress itself.

Allow enough room to slide the bag over the mattress without stretching the polythene. If your measurements are close to the maximum bag dimensions, contact our sales team before ordering so we can help confirm suitability.

How to Use a Polythene Mattress Bag

Make sure the mattress is clean and completely dry before covering it. Moisture already present on the mattress could become trapped during storage.

For easier packing, stand the mattress carefully on one end with assistance. Open the bag fully and guide it over the mattress without pulling excessively against the corners. Alternatively, place the bag flat and slide the mattress into it.

Once the mattress is completely covered, fold the excess polythene at the open end and secure it using suitable packaging tape or ties. Do not cover or block the perforated holes.

When moving the mattress, lift it correctly rather than pulling or dragging it by the bag. The polythene cover protects the mattress surface but does not provide carrying handles or structural support.

Why Choose Our Single and Double Mattress Bags?

Our clear mattress bags offer a convenient way to protect valuable mattresses without using bulky or complicated packaging. The medium-duty 250 gauge / 62.5 micron polythene provides a useful balance of flexibility, protection and ease of handling.

The transparent finish allows immediate product identification, while the open-ended design makes packing straightforward. Customers can purchase individual bags for one-off moves or choose rolls of approximately 50 for frequent commercial use.

These mattress protection bags suit homeowners as well as professional removal companies, self-storage facilities, landlords, furniture retailers, mattress suppliers, hotels and refurbishment contractors.

PPWR Compliance Information

Regulation (EU) 2025/40 on Packaging and Packaging Waste, commonly known as the PPWR, applies to polythene and polypropylene packaging placed on the EU market. Material specifications and supporting product documentation are available for our polythene and polypropylene products to help customers complete their compliance assessments.

However, material type, recycled content or food-contact suitability alone does not confirm full PPWR compliance. The responsible economic operator must assess the finished packaging and its intended use against all applicable requirements, including packaging minimisation, substances of concern, recyclability, recycled content, labelling and technical documentation.

Customers intending to place these products on the EU market should email sales@expresspackaging.co.uk to request the latest available documentation and confirm suitability for their application before making a PPWR compliance claim.

Material and Responsible Disposal

These mattress bags are manufactured from polythene film. Where the bag remains clean and undamaged, consider reusing it for further storage or protection before disposal.

Recycling availability for flexible polythene varies between local authorities and commercial waste providers. Keep used bags clean, dry and separate from general waste where a suitable film-recycling service is available. Please check with your local authority or waste contractor before disposal.

Important Safety Information

Keep mattress bags and all polythene packaging away from babies and young children because plastic film can present a suffocation hazard. Keep the bags away from naked flames, heaters and other sources of high temperature. Do not climb inside a mattress bag or use it as a sleeping cover. The bags do not provide carrying handles or lifting support. Always use safe handling techniques and enough people to move the mattress correctly.
