Bewildered motorists in Melbourne were baffled after one driver headed through the CBD with a bizarre household item hanging from their car boot.

Dashcam footage from Thursday shows the driver heading westbound on Victoria Street, approaching Exhibition Street with the corner of a double mattress trapped in the boot.
