Could you fit a queen-sized mattress into a '98 CRV?

[UnatcoAgent]

Well, could you? We're moving on Sunday and borrowed a friend's CRV.

 

[Gooberlx2]

No...at least not without folding the thing in half. I have an '05 CRV, which has more room, but still not enough space. When I moved in with my wife I had to wrap it up and tie it down to my roof-rack.

A tape measure is your friend and you could look up the cargo area of the CRV on line, but I think you will find that idea fails.

A normal queen bed is 60 by 80. Use those dimensions when measuring.

Yeah I'm not thinking it's going to fit unfortunately, maybe sticking out of the back and bending it in the middle a bit :S

Tie on the roof and play the sound track to the Sanford & Son theme on the stereo!

Lol I was thinking something along those lines.

Rent a van from Ryder or Enterprise for $40 and be done with it.

WINNAR!

Do queen size beds still come with a one piece box spring? You'll have a bit of trouble bending that.

I couldn't fit a full size mattress (the size below queen) into a Grand Cherokee without bending, so I doubt you'll fit a queen into a CRV

Yeah, a two-piece box spring for a queen usually costs extra.

I doubt you'll get a queen inside a CR-V. I'd definitely put it on the roof, but make sure it's secure. Don't underestimate a mattress's desire to fly off the front of your car when you come to a stop.

Yah I think this is what we're going to end up doing. Fortunately we're going about 6 blocks and that's it through a light residential zone.

Thanks guys!

6 blocks? 6 BLOCKS?! As in one more than 5, one less than 7?

Carry the damn thing, ya'lazy bum! *harrumph* When I was your age, we carried our mattress uphill, in the snow, with no gloves on, for 16 blocks!!! *harrumph!*

You got everyone all thinking and helping and stuff for SIX BLOCKS. Don't you feel guilty?

*coming soon*

My thread: "I'm buying some really heavy canned goods from the market today. I live two blocks from the market. Should I take a taxi, rent a UHaul or hire a street person to carry them? NEED ANSWER NOW!!!!!"

Actually, as of late, my video box is turned off unless I am using it. Electricity bill is killing me. I post from my quadcore box which I game on a few hours per day. That's four cores of QUALITY POSTING, mind you.

And I seriously would carry my mattress (with a friend) if I only had six blocks to go and nothing else to move. I.E. boxes of clothes, etc.
