Forearm forklift straps

Two days ago we move the queen size bed upstairs. The 2 straps are laid out in a X and the mattress put in the centre. The 2 amateur movers put their arms in the loops at the end of the straps and then place their palms on the mattress in a prayer like gesture and lift. It works. The box base is lighter but more awkward around corners as the rigid frame cannot flex. Mildly proud of ourselves and will indulge in further procrastination and much love to all. But will not volunteer as movers.
