Queen size mattress on roof rack.
Most mattresses won t fit inside a car s trunk or hatch.
Hi all i need to transport a queen sized mattress on the roof rack of a 2007 rav4 for about 5km.
For example most mattresses of any size will fit into a typical pickup truck.
Put a piece of rope on the roof of the car that goes from back bumper to front bumper.
Put the mattress on top of the car and rope so that it goes length wise with the length of the car see pics above.
Secure the front end of the mattress and then the other end of the mattress.
Once the rope is tightly placed on the mattress open all.
Buy sturdy rope nylon or polyester based.
Pull the rope tight so there is no extra slack.
But make sure that the mattress does not obstruct your forward vision.

Do you see this being a problem if i go really slow.
