Reuse your mattress

An old mattress can be used as an extra bed in a guest bedroom, or it can be used to temporarily house a guest, simply put on the floor for the night.

This solution is simple and effective, but it has a serious drawback: it requires you to be able to store your old mattress when you're not using it!

Avoid the cellar, because the mattress may quickly take on moisture.

This is a solution that is not suitable for everyone.

Sell ​​your mattress

If you believe that your mattress can still be used for a while, and that it is in a sufficiently clean state to be attractive, you can try to sell it on the Internet.

Selling a second-hand mattress on the Internet is always difficult, because the buyer cannot see the wear and tear with the help of photos.

If the mattress is in good condition, you can still find a buyer.

Do not be too greedy on the price: do not sell it for more than a few tens of euros.

Donate your mattress

You can also make a gesture to help someone out and donate your mattress.

Many donation platforms exist on the Internet: you can register there to offer your mattress.

It is also possible to turn to an association, such as Emmaüs, which will be able to reuse it if possible, or recycle it if it is too worn.

Have the mattress picked up by a sign

If you decide to buy your new mattress on the Internet, or go through a store that delivers to you, find out about the possibility of having your old mattress taken back by the delivery person.

Some mattress vendors participate in recycling programs.

Very often, the recovery is completely free, provided that it is carried out at the time of delivery of your new mattress.

It's a good way to get rid of it without having to go through the hassle yourself.

Recycle your mattress

There are many organizations that take care of the recycling of furniture, and this also includes mattresses.

Secondly, Recyc-Matelas Europe and Éco-mobilier are among the associations that can take back an old mattress in order to separate its different materials, and recycle what can be.

The ideal is to find a drop-off point near you by doing an Internet search, and bring your mattress there yourself.

If it is impossible to get around, some associations can come to your home with a van, for a small financial contribution.

Call the bulky

The vast majority of French municipalities offer a bulky waste service to their inhabitants.

It is possible that the bulky waste truck passes through your neighborhood once a month, on a fixed day, or that you need to schedule a passage in front of your home when necessary.

Generally, this service is free: all you have to do is call the town hall to get the information you need to use it.

This is a practical approach, because it saves you from having to travel.
