Unlike other online mattress retailers, we'll remove your old mattress at no cost to you. Because of sanitation requirements we do have to reserve the right to refuse to take an old mattress that is heavily soiled. Unfortunately, we cannot take futons, sofa beds or bed frames.

Most bedding retail stores will assist with the disposal of old bedding as a value-added store service. Ask about this type of service before you purchase!

Yes, most definitely. Mattresses that are old will have much higher levels of dust mites and droppings, dead skin, fungal spores, bacteria and germs. Our process is extremely effective and will make them clean and fresh again.

You should never place a new mattress upon an old sprung base. Although it may look in good condition, the internal springs will have worn in the same predominant sleeping areas as the previous old mattress. Which means the new mattress will sink and follow the contours of the worn areas. This will not only permanently damage the new mattress, but also give you an uncomfortable sleeping unit.

What do you do when the perfect mattress doesn't provide the same support that it once did? You try to find the same one, or the closest thing to it. Mattress lines are always evolving and tend to change every year or two. This means it might be hard to find the exact same mattress. However, by determining your preferred comfort level, you can find one that feels just like it.

Old beds turn up in the oddest places – in the bottom of lakes, by the side of the road, in the classified ads of the newspaper. Clearly, people don't know what to do with old mattresses! It estimated that nearly 70% of old beds stay in circulation, handed down like heirlooms to children and other family members. This is especially harmful for children, whose active, developing bodies require the support of a good quality mattress.

Children should have a comfortable, supportive mattress to get the deep restorative sleep their bodies need to grow. If your old sleep set was uncomfortable and lacked support, then it probably won't help your kids get a good night's sleep either. No! Sealy Posturepedic sleep sets offer correct support regardless of comfort level or price. Whether your Sealy Posturepedic is soft or hard, it will give you the same correct back support you need.

We have found that a new mattress, if used on a regular basis, would benefit from a cleaning after about 6 months use.

Occasionally one sees individuals with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis who have one attack and never have another one. A more common pattern however is for it to settle for long periods of time and then act up. The vast majority of people with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis lead normal and productive lives. They work, have families and go on vacations like anyone else.

If a mattress is no longer comfortable for you, it's not good enough for someone else – especially your child. As kids grow, they need supportive and comfortable bedding as well. Be sure your children have enough space to move around comfortably as they grow. In addition, your child's first "big girl" or "big boy" bed may not provide enough space or comfort for your adolescent.
