Stand it up on the side or end and start wrapping with plastic kitchen wrap. That's what a lot of manufacturers and grocery stores do with pallets of products.

Is there a mattress store near you? Maybe they would give you one they have taken off a display mattress. Wouldn't hurt to call. Sorry about your loss. ❤️

We got the plastic mattress covers for our mattresses  and box springs when we moved. Easy to use if you have one other person to help. And they are pretty inexpensive.  I imagine much easier than trying to wrap a mattress in Saran Wrap.

Odd?  They actually want it wrapped in plastic?  I thought we are trying to eliminate plastic in our dumps?

A cheap clear plastic drop cloth that you can buy in the paint department of any box store will do.  Simply wrap and use some painters tape to close the ends.

I hear ya about the plastic in land fills but people (delivery drivers/trash men) don’t want to touch a mattress that someone has slept on for years & years.

I am not talking about the OP of course but there are some of these old mattresses that are way less than sanitary.

Then there is the issue of bed bugs.
