What To Do With A Mattress

If your mattress is old, uncomfortable, or causing health problems, you should replace it as soon as possible.

There are many ways to dispose of your mattress, but not all of them are worthwhile.

Your best options are to donate it, recycle it, or sell it.

Sleep quality, health, and body aches improve with new mattresses.

Invest in a high-quality mattress like the Saatva Classic. With normal use, they will last for 10-15 years.

Provides a great balance between cushioned firmness and contouring support.

They offer the "buy now, pay later" program (through Affirm), which is great for those who can't afford a new mattress with cash right now (most Americans).

Although there are many ways to dispose of your mattress, not all are recommended.

There are 3 main, favorable ways to consider:

1. Donate it: Great opportunity to help people in need while also making space for your new mattress. You can also give your mattress directly to someone if you can't find an organization or charity to donate to. Many states allow it.

2. Recycle it: Mattresses can be recycled in 80 to 90 % of cases. States, counties, and even individual cities and towns have different recycling laws, regulations, and standards. Several states (such as Connecticut, Rhode Island, and California) have laws that make mattress recycling and pick-up free or very affordable.

3. Sell it: Check online marketplaces. Others may want your mattress even if you think it's old and useless. Check Craigslist, eBay, and Letgo to see if anyone is interested in purchasing your mattress.

You should get rid of old and bad mattresses because they can cause health problems.
