Preparing for a do-it-yourself move. Challenge is a California
King foam mattress situated on the second floor. This was a
hassle enough bringing in while new, it was wrapped and compressed.

Any suggestions for moving this down steep narrow stairs?

Rub your ass with butter...that would involve a dip.

took two husky guys to move my ~220lbs cal king tempurpedic 30 miles

220 POUNDS for just the mattress???? My non-cal king (which is the
same as cal, is it not, except cal is 6" longer?) couldn't have
weighed anywhere near that much. My stairwell wasn't steep or narrow
and it wasn't foam but a standard mattress, but I think I brought it
upstairs myself when I was 36, and took it downstairs myself when I
got a new one. IIRC

I did have help getting the one upstairs.

Even with help, a small guy in good shape, I can't believe my share
was 12/13 * 110 pounds.

Get a couple of pairs of sticky gloves and a case of beer and call a
husky friend. No beer till the job is done.

Can you compress it again with ratchet straps? I'd try that...

I like that idea. Straps providing a needed hand hold for moving
the otherwise unwieldy mattress.

I wonder if you could get a large enough vacuum storage bag that you can
use your vacuum to remove the air and reduce the size of the foam
mattress?
