You can donate your mattress to several organizations and charities, provided it is clean and in good condition. Here are some common options:
- The Salvation Army : Accepts used mattresses for shelters or thrift stores, and some locations offer pickup services
- Goodwill Industries : Some branches accept mattresses, but you should call ahead to confirm
- Habitat for Humanity ReStore : Accepts mattresses that meet size and condition requirements; local branches may offer pickup
- Local Homeless Shelters : Often in need of mattresses; contact shelters in your area to see if they accept donations
- Furniture Banks : Accept gently used mattresses but usually have strict condition requirements; check locally
- Local Charities and Nonprofit Thrift Stores : Many accept mattresses to support their programs; contact them directly
- Online platforms like Facebook Marketplace or Freecycle : You can list your mattress for free to give it away locally
Before donating, ensure your mattress is clean, in good condition, and meets any specific criteria such as intact fire safety labels. It's best to call or check online with the organization beforehand to confirm acceptance and arrange pickup or drop-off
. If donation is not an option, consider recycling programs or municipal bulky waste pickup services in your area
