Feel terrible throwing away a very decent queen mattress that is 15 years old, pillow top, slight indentations from our bodies, and no stains. Anyone know of a place like a women’s shelter or another organization I could take this to? Not a huge fan of soliciting those in tent city directly. Seems like SOMEONE could use this great mattress and keep it out of the landfill!

Unfortunately you will probably have to take it to the dump. I tried a few years ago, drove around to several places like Goodwill and Value Village and no one would even consider taking a mattress and that was just about bed bug concerns. Now with covid I doubt you’ll get any takers.

The very best thing to do is to have your new mattress deliverers take away the old one – that’s usually an included service if you’re not having a compressed mattress (like a Puffy or a Purple) delivered by FedEx or something. Otherwise, you have to haul it to the dump. No one wants mattresses unfortunately.

Yep, got the kind in a box. Not going to stores right now to find a mattress. Actually, we had great luck on OfferUp. We offered it for free and it got taken that day. Only thing is that I’m not sure how “needy” the person that picked it up was…wish I could donate to a women’s shelter or something like this but at least this way it’s not in the dump!
