How Do I Get Rid of an Old Mattress?

Mattresses are a great item to buy and then "dress up". Buying a new mattress is always a new and exciting experience because you don't do it very often. Mattresses are built for comfort and are made to last. But before most people get too excited about buying a new mattress, they usually ask themselves, "How do I get rid of an old mattress?" There are a few options you can take. You can recycle it. Locate and contact your nearest recycling center and see if you can recycle it. Sell your old mattress. Many people are into buying used mattresses because of the price tag. You can always donate it too. If you don't end up doing any of those, you can always take the mattress apart and if it has padding, use the foam padding to make cushions. If it has coils, take them apart and sell them at your local junk shop. Now we can get to the fun part in finding the perfect mattress for you.

Size is important for a lot of people. Especially people who like their space and really tall people. Comfort would be the ultimate reason for buying a new bed. You want something that will keep you asleep and comfortable all through the night. Comfort comes in levels, firm, cushion firm, plush, pillow top and ultra plush. If you like to sleep on your sides, then you'd need a softer mattress. If you like to sleep on your back, you'd need a firmer mattress. Finding the perfect mattress now gets a little more complicated.

For the best support and durability, you want a mattress with either a lot of padding or a lot of coils. The higher number of coils in a mattress, the better support it will give. The more layers of padding and the better quality it is, will give better support and will also last longer. Stay within your budget but remember what is that money in your pocket worth when you have countless sleepless nights because of a bad mattress?

Finally, luxury bedding has to be the cherry on the pie when you have a new bed. You can get electric mattress pads to give that added warmth in the Winter or you can purchase silk sheets as an early Christmas present and spoil yourself. There's nothing better than sinking into an amazingly, comfortable bed in clean, fresh, soft sheets. Finding the perfect mattress has now become an exciting experience.
