I purchased my first shikifuton mattress hoping to use it as a guest mattress in our new home we are moving to.
I just unpacked the full sized mattress and it is way more bulky and hard to move than I realized! I was planning on shipping it to our new home (across the country 😬) but I can't even fit it back into the box it came in 😳
does anyone have suggestions on transporting and storing a full sized shikifuton mattress? I was really excited about this purchase but now I'm worried it's going to be a hassle to move. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Go to a big box store and get the largest vacuum storage bag they have. They will help you slightly shrink the mattress if used properly and I bet you can fit it back in that box.
Sauce: moved a twin shikibuton this way
