I've got multiple quotes of £30 for a man in a van to help me out with this, so should be fine. A new bed off eBay and a man in a van all in for £60 seems pretty good to me

I transported a double bed mattress thing with my S40 on the roof. There was no real over hang on the front as it was sticking out more on the back ... I did have a chest of drawers ontop of it as well. Tied that down with a lot of rope and ducktape and a bungee strap. Stayed on really well and commuted with it from Cirencester to Lemington Spa ... nearly 2 hour drive up the M5 (I was slip streaming a lot of lorries all the way down)
(I did have all of this on roof bars and not directly on the roof of the car) |

Never use bungee straps to secure loads on the roof as they can stretch and snap.
