Re: Matrress through a seccond floor window,
You could hire a cherry picker, with a bloke to operate it, for a hundred quid or so - or you could find a nearby small hire centre and walk in there with some cash and a suggestion....

i have took furniture in and out of a first floor window using ladders , not sure i would like to do it on the second floor though , 2 sets of ladders side by side is the way to go , and a rope around the mattress held at the top , have fun

Re: Matrress through a seccond floor window,
Why not one of those memory foam mattresses, I think most of them come in a small roll, something like this in the picture.

Why not buy a memory foam matress, They come in a role like a loft isulation roll and are good to sleep on too.

Re: Matrress through a seccond floor window,
I did a similar thing with a friend's wardrobe when he moved house - it was lifted up onto the garage roof and in through the bedroom window (which was ridiculously large!).
From experience, then, all you need is two ladders and four six-foot blokes. Oh, and one woman to make the tea.......
Edit: Just noticed, second floor window. In that case, I'd go with the cherry picker!
