Mattress attacks motorcyclist. Motorcyclist lands safely on mattress...

When I put anything on top of my GX it gives me anxiety no matter how secure I think it is. I always fear causing an accident with it flying off.
I was on Georgia 400 running 80 mph or so and noticed the car in front of me braked and pulled right of the fast lane I was in....Hello 3 wheel scooter that fell off of someone's car

Whenever I hear of or see someone carrying a mattress on the roof of a car, I have this image of the front edge of the mattress blown back and up by the oncoming wind, and the mattress about to tear away from its tie-downs, to blow right into the windshield of the poor soul who is unlucky enough to follow that car.

Not sure about a King-Size box-spring...though possibly (?), if it is tilted up sideways and the vehicle has a high enough length and a high enough roofline. A King-size mattress might (?) bend a little bit, making it a little easier than a box-spring. But, in general, that is one reason why King-Size bedding (and sometimes Queen-size) bedding is usually store-delivered to your house in large company (or contracted) trucks.

Guy on the bike was lucky he didn't go over the handlebars. Also I think you'd be hard pressed to get even a double/full size matress in an SUV, even in something big like a Suburban.

I think that only the twin (single) mattress would fit in full-size SUVs, pickup trucks and minivans, considering that they are designed to fit the proverbial 4x8 (48in x 96in) sheet of plywood between the rear wheel wells.
Mattress sizes:
Twin (Single) Size Mattress
Width: 39 in x Length: 74 in
The twin size mattress would fit between the wheel wells of a full-size SUV, pickup truck and minivan but would likely be a tight squeeze in mid-size SUV / crossover. The mattress would be extending out past the rear bumper though, on anything except the longest full-size SUV or pickup truck.
Full (Double) Size Mattress
Width: 54 in x Length: 74 in
The full size mattress would probably fit ABOVE the wheel wells of a full-size pickup truck and may fit in a full-size SUV, like the Suburban.
Queen Size Mattress
Width: 60 in x Length: 80 in
The queen size mattress MAY fit, ABOVE the wheels wells of a full-size pickup truck but I am not sure about a full-size SUV, like the Suburban.
King Size Mattress
Width: 76 in x Length: 80 in
The king size mattress WON'T fit flat in a full-size pickup truck nor full-size SUV but would likely fit upright in a full-size, extra-high-roof van, like the MB Sprinter.
Cars with full size mattresses tied to the roof are not an uncommon sight.
