Abstract

In embodiments, a mattress is bagged, compressed, and sealed at a first geographic location. A bag utilized for the bagging has an openable and closeable vent. The bagged, compressed, and sealed mattress is shipped to a destination, second geographic location. It may be warehoused in the bagged, compressed, and sealed state, and may also be further transported to distributors or retailers. At a desired point, the bagged, compressed, and sealed mattress is vented before the final end use. Such may occur before delivery to the retailer or retail customer. The vent is reclosed and the bagged uncompressed and sealed mattress is then delivered to the retailer or end user. A bagged, compressed, sealed mattress has an openable and closeable vent.

Mattresses can be manufactured in a remote location, such as overseas, and shipped to the destination country in cargo containers on board a ship or by truck. In such destination countries, mattresses are usually shipped by truck to distributors, warehouses, retailers and end users. Due to the reduced volume and corresponding shipping savings, it is advantageous to bag, compress and seal the mattress at its point ...
