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.

Re: Would you buy a mattress online?

@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

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!

Re: Would you buy a mattress online?

[ Edited ]

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!

Re: Would you buy a mattress online?

I would consider buying a mattress on line after performing proper research.  However, I doubt that I would ever purchase one from QVC.
