Specialty moving boxes are not identified by size but rather by use:

Mattress covers are available in all bed sizes including baby cribs. If a mattress is going to be stored, it is highly recommended that a cover be used to protect it.

What size boxes should I use? Are there guidelines for proper packing?

The size box that you should use is determined by the size and weight of the items you wish to place in it. As a general rule, no box should weigh more than 50 lbs. Your heavy items should be packed in your small boxes, and use the large boxes for light items. When your box is full, fill the dead space with crumpled paper to avoid having items shift during transport. Check out our tips for Packing Yourself to see more detailed information.
