How would a person get the old mattress removed?

give it away.

have it picked up by a junk hauler.

my daughter had hers picked up curbside from her old apartment once she wrapped it in a complete sealed protective mattress cover.

Give it away? Who wants an old used mattress?
I am a senior and wouldn't even be able to bring it down the stairs. I need the service of delivery, set up, and removal of old one. For that reason alone, I would not buy online.

believe it or not, there ARE people who will take a used mattress @Catch71 .....in particular, those who are in need and have no money. we have given away several mattresses of all sizes over the years and they took them out themselves.

@luvmybeetle @satva makes a very good mattress. I purchased an organic latex mattress because latex is what I wanted. Satvavwould have been a second choice if latex were not available. They are very very expensive. My neighbor ended up buying one but because of the cost she bought a twin size. I wasn't ready to buy a twin just to be able to afford it. I believe her twin was $1000

I knew I wanted a latex mattress and it had to be all organic, because my experience sleeping on a latex mattress was like no other for me. I had a sleep number bed for 18 years which had sprung a leak in the core and would no longer stay inflated so after researching for over a year for what was in my opinion, the best organic latex mattress I purchased one. I am sleeping better than ever and I was having issues with a good sleep for quite a few years.

Teddxat...I'm looking for a latex mattress also or a hybrid of latex and coils. Could you tell me what brand you went with? I have had a latex topper for years and love the feel, so we need a new mattress and I would love the latex I think.

@daisyk Hi... I know the question was not asked of me, but when we bought a new bed frame about 7 months ago from Room & Board (first time in that store... why did I wait so long???!!!!!), we also asked them about a mattress (ours was 25 years old, still felt fine... but it was time!).

They had a choice of 6. We were certain we wanted a coil mattress and knew we did not want foam. The sales rep (who was wonderful), told me he had one more mattress to try, after I was certain one of the coil mattresses would work for us ... it was a HYBRID NATURAL LATEX/COIL. OMG.. THE BEST EVER!!! I like a firm mattress and this was firm, but had a gentle give to very kindly cradle your joints and body. My husband tried it and we made the purchase. SO HAPPY WE DID.... it's a FABULOUS mattress. Highly recommend looking at the hybrids. Make sure it's NATURAL LATEX you look at which is different. It comes from a rubber tree. Good luck.

Edited to add: Our mattress was made in Minnesotta. Our new bed is a platform type with no box spring. First time I ever had that type of bed. LOVE IT! So happy not to have a box spring any longer. Plus.. it looks so much better!

@nyc1 Thanks so much for your reply! That sounds perfect. I will do my research!

Back when QVC was truly "Quality Value & Convenience,"

I ordered a "Sleep Select" from QVC when "Sleep Selects" first came out. They were soooo new, it doesnt have any "bells & whistles." So my "Sleep Select" is probably pushing 35+ yrs at least?

ABSOLUTELY 2nd BEST PURCHASE EVER!!!!

It's been the absolutely longest, most comfortable mattress I've EVER had! In fact, this is my 3rd mattress ever, (including the one I grew up with)! The one I bought from a store, in person, & carefully selected, 2nd mattress ever, hardly lasted at all. Within months after purchase, "was the pits!"

My "Sleep Select" grows & shrinks, "at my fingertip command," accommodating just where my latest life's "aches & pains" migrate to.

I also buy the best "4 inch toppers" to place on top of the "Sleep Select," & change them as needed.

All encased in an antibacterial, waterproof, anti-bug/dust mite mattress protector. All thick enough my whichever cat's accidental claws never penetrate any of this.

I have such incredible "peace of mind," & comfort, on this one place I spend almost 1/3rd of my lifetime, my bed.

(Altho, I'm soooo protective, panicky, hovering over "PITA" when I'm moving anywhere. And I must personally travel along, with this particular "bed set up!" if you can imagine! It CANNOT be damaged in any way!) So far, so good! More than 35+ yrs!

2nd BEST PURCHASE of my LIFETIME!
