David: The queen size matress will fit with a struggle - put the rear seat down and put the matress on top of it. I got mine home that way. You'll have to come up with some kind of carrier for the boxsprings - I had to pay for delivery for that - It doesn't bend like the matress. Gary 80 Westy; 88GL
