Does anyone know any window fitters in/around Leeds ??
Having issues getting a king size mattress some very awkward stairs and think taking the bedroom window out may be the only option!
Either that or some super bed delivery guys with mattress folding secret tricks of the trade 
Colin cane ltd fitted our double glazing as a firm they were efficient honest and cheap . The fitters were a bit brutal getting the old frames out but if you just need the glazing out I'm sure it would be doable .
Cheers, will try them.
I do need the frame out though. Although it's a PVC frame that's not been fitted all that long so shouldn't be too difficult hopefully.
Any other recommendations ?
Smaller firms or local do it all builders.
If it would fit through the window with the frame in, it would be an easy DIY job to knock out the beading, carefully take out the glass. Then refit.
Fitters use a scraper like tool to push into the beading to prise it off without marking it.
Would that work?
Have you tried straps on the mattress?
I used some to get a super king size mattress down stairs and then in the car and to the tip.
They worked a treat although I suppose it depends how awkward the stairs are.
EDIT - just to clarify straps as in fasty straps or similar
Have you contacted any removal ninjas to see if they've got any ideas?
Might be cheaper and easier.

As mentioned above, if it's only the glass that needs to come out, lift the bead from inside, take glass out, job done. Just make sure you check for packing under the glass and make sure you put it back if it's there.
must be a sturdy mattress if it won't bend enough to go round corners or through doors. Are you sure it won't bend?
It's proper sturdy, and the stairs have a 180 degree bend just beyond a door frame.
The frame needs to come out totally as the window is split half way so taking the glass out isn't an option sadly.
Removal ninjas is a good call though, worth a shot before taking the house apart anyway.
water bed...because you are worth it
Good suggestion 🙂
Doesn't solve the problem of the huge mattress stranded in the living room though 🙂
The removal ninja suggestion wins.
A guy came round this morning, slightly bent it in two directions (like a Pringle) and muscled it through the doorway, round the 180 degree bend, up the stairs, round the 90degree bend, and into the bedroom.
£20.
Happy days!
