Will a queen sized mattress + box spring fit in a small truck?

For instance a Chevy S-10? I need to move it about a mile..if not, what's the cheapest alternative in doing so?

I can borrow an S-10, unless it may be possible to fit it in the hatch area of an Integra with the seats down..
 
nope, but tie it down with a couple of ratchets ties or a good ropen and you should be fine... I don't think it woudl be worth it for anyone to move jsut a bed. If you really want, maybe one of those uhaul 20 a day deals.

My vote is to tie it down though.
 
we moved 4 queens and a cabinet in a toyo taco.
(i think they were queens; otherwise they were the biggest f'n twins i've ever seen)
 
When I worked in a furniture store my boss would deliver anything and everything in the back of his Ranger. It's not that hard to tie stuff down.

Hmm, anyone know how heavy a box spring is? Mapquest says it's half a mile, I wonder if two people can carry it over..

box springs are really light. there isn't much in them. and a queen sized box spring should be in two pieces, iirc.

Yep. I think its two peices, unless maybe you don't have a real boxspring and you just have one of those wooden foundation things.

Not sure about big the S10 is, but on my friend's early 90's nissan truck (smaller, probably compact) a full sized bed fits perfectly.
 
I moved everything that we owned in a Dodge Dakota when my wife and I moved from an apartment to our house. We have a queen bed (mattress and box spring). It rested on the bed rail, but I tied it down.

perhaps you're thinking of FULL size beds.
