Nordic Elk Mattsafe King Mattress Bag with 8 Handles
A sturdy reusable king mattress bag with eight handles, though the zipper seam lets water in.
We bought Nuovoware Mattress Bags for Moving and Storage, King, Reusable with 8 Handles. It's no longer documented anywhere, so this page reviews the closest well-covered match. It is also a reusable king mattress bag with eight handles and a zipper, and it is the best covered bag of that type.
The short version
- People moving a king mattress, especially up or down stairs
- Anyone storing a mattress for months and planning to reuse the bag
- You only need one short move and want the cheapest option
- The mattress will sit somewhere wet, since the zipper seam is not waterproof
What owners like
- Sturdy handles that make a heavy mattress easier for two people to carry
- Thick tarp that resists tears
- Slightly oversized, so thicker mattresses fit
Common complaints
- Water can get in through the zipper seam
- Costs more than plastic bags
- Opaque blue, so you cannot see the mattress inside

What it does
A reusable heavy duty tarp mattress bag for king mattresses with eight handles and a three sided zipper, reviewed here as the closest well documented match to the Nuovoware king bag that was bought.
- Zipper on three sides so the mattress slides in from the top
- Eight handles for lifting or dragging
- Extra room built in for easier loading
- Reusable for later moves or storage
- Also sold in twin, full, full XL, queen and California king
A strong choice for people moving more than once or storing a king mattress, since the tarp and handles make carrying and dragging easier than a plastic bag. The trade-offs are a higher price than single use plastic and a zipper seam that can let water in.
