Mattress Removal

Finding the best mattress for you isn’t a fun experience. Luckily, once you find the right one for you, it'll last for several years if handled correctly.

However, every mattress owner inevitably reaches the point where they know it’s time for an upgrade. It may be because they’re interested in a new mattress model, they need more space, or simply their comfort requirements changed due to age, weight, or personal injury.

But before buying a new mattress, you need to get rid of your old mattress, which is also a frustrating experience the larger it is.

It may seem easier to just store your mattress in your attic and be done with it, but this leads to several consequences that will cost you even more problems. One of which is a serious case of infestation. 

Termites not only love to chew on wood, but they also feast on mattresses. Rats and other critters will also tear up mattresses and use it as a nesting place. If left unchecked, mattress infestations will lead to property damage and addressing it alone will cause a lot of money.

Save yourself from spending even more money by removing your mattress correctly if you don’t plan on using it again. A mattress removal service is all you need and our crews at Milwaukie Junk Removal have removed tons of mattresses.

What Signs Do I Look Out For Before
​Getting a New Mattress?
There are several signs that it’s time to get a new mattress. These signs are hard to miss since they negatively change your quality of sleep. 

What you need to look out for are:

  • Sagging (Rolling towards the center when lying down)
  • Bulging (Having a hard time getting comfortable)
  • Noisy springs (Creaking when moving)
  • Sharp metal ends sticking out (Increased difficulty falling or staying asleep)
  • Bedbugs (Having a lot of insect bites in the morning)

Other reasons you should consider are:

  • Mattress is over 8 years old
  • Your back or neck hurts when you get up in the morning
  • You don’t feel like you got a restful sleep each night
  • Waking up with a congested nose due to dust allergies
  • Unwashable odor
​
The quickest way to tell if your mattress needs to be replaced is asking, “Do I get a good night’s sleep on most nights with my bed?”. If your answer is no, then it’s probably the best time to replace it.

Can I Donate My Mattress?
Donating a mattress is not as easy as donating clothes. Charity organizations have a strict standard when accepting mattresses because it’s hard to clean, refurbish, and store them.

Each organization has its own criteria, but there are a few general guidelines:

  • Cleanliness: Due to a lot of health risk precautions, charities prefer a certain level of cleanliness from donated mattresses. Mattresses should be clean of pet hairs, dust, and other crumbs that might lodge into your mattress. Guidelines also prohibit any stains no matter the size.
 
  • Physical Condition: Used mattresses will carry abuse from its previous owners, but too much damage to the mattress is unacceptable—this includes excessive sagging, enormous lumps, broken coils, and large obvious rips, tears, or holes.
 
  • Infestations: This goes without saying, never donate an infested mattress. Even though the infestation was fixed, a mattress with any infestation history will not be accepted.
 
  • Odor: If thoroughly washing the mattress doesn’t fix the odor, then reconsider donating it. Guidelines prohibit such odor because the only way to remove it is by using strong chemicals that can damage the mattress and cause health problems for the people that’ll use it.

If you think your mattress is in good shape for donation, then that’s great! We can handle the mattress removal and donation process. You don’t need to lift a finger.​
