If anyone knows of someone that would have use for it please get in touch. Bottom mattress is an inner sprung one and the top one is a foam mattress. I would think you’ll need a vehicle/ trailer that’s large enough to take it all. Beds are currently disassembled so it’s an easy pick up and go.
Call on 0212942282 or 0220642552 to arrange pick up.
