Foam Mattress

My grandmother has a king sized tempurpedic mattress and is moving to a smaller house that no longer has room for it. She has offered me the mattress but I live several states away and it will be shipped to my house. I was wondering if you could cut it in half for:
1. Less weight per mattress half
2. More compact
3. Easier to move

I can always just push them back together on the frame in my house if this idea is plausible. If you are going to say that it will ruin the mattress, please support your ideas.
I don’t understand how cutting a memory Foam Mattress will ruin it. I understand spring mattresses, because, well, common sense.

Thank you so much!

before you hack it in half, talk to the company that will be shipping it. Even cut in half, while each half will weigh less, now you are paying for 2 itemss to be shipped and together the weight is still the same but you will need 2 protective covers or both will need to be wrapped, etc, and 2 fees, besides the weight fee.
After all, those size mattresses get shipped all the time as it is, from new.
So if you did need to cut it in half, I don’t see a problem with it if they for sure are just a certain kind of foam. As for putting them back together, I would imagine some creative use of duct tape wrapped securely around the 2 halves to secure them would work.

Best Mattress for your health
