Mattresses are just about the bulkiest item a consumer can recycle. On the plus side, you’re likely only disposing of one once every 10 to 20 years, but the size and weight means it won’t be an easy process.

It provides additional protection beyond what the warranty offers on the product. Service contracts are similar to warranties in that both concern service for a product. However, there are differences between warranties and service contracts. Warranties come with a product and are included in the purchase price. In the language of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, warranties are "part of the basis of the bargain." Service contracts, on the other hand, are agreements that are separate from the contract or sale of the product. They are separate either because they are made some time after the sale of the product, or because they cost the customer a fee beyond the purchase price of the product. If a manufacturer offers a service contract, the Act requires the manufacturer to conspicuously list all terms and conditions in simple and readily understood language. However, unlike warranties, service contracts are not required to be titled "full" or "limited,' or to contain the special standard disclosures.
In fact, using warranty disclosures in service contracts could confuse customers about whether the agreement is a warranty or a service contract.“Is it really illegal to remove a mattress tag—even in your home home? Don't do it until you read this warning!” It's become almost an urban legend in recent years, the idea that you cannot remove the tag from a mattress because it violates a law. Are police officers really going to storm the retail store and cuff you if you dare touch the mattress tag? No, this is a myth that's been blown out of proportion—and in some cases it's kept alive by mattress stores and manufacturers themselves who will print on tags “It is unlawful to remove this tag.”They certainly don't want mischievous teens or toddlers ripping off parts of their merchandise. However, there is no special law involved here. Rather, the tags are there for your protection as a consumer. They are printed and kept intact in order to show you that A. You are buying a new product that has not been used before.
B. What materials are used in the making of the mattress. Mattress Laws for Your Protection! The law doesn't really apply to you, but to the retail store itself. They are not allowed to remove the tag until the sale and delivery of a new mattress is finalized. This shows adherence to the law, and emphasizes the original quality of the brand new mattress. The specific law is Title 15, in Commerce and Trade, Chapter 2, Sub Chapter V - Textile Fiber Products Identification, Section 70c. According to this law, the removal of the tag (not to mention other removable parts of the mattress like the stamp and label) is considered official tampering or mutilation of a textile fiber product, and would be violating the rights of the consumer. Any one that were to violate this law (as in retailers) would be guilty of violating the FTC Act of “unfair method of competition” or “deceptive act or practice.” So legally speaking, the only one authorized to remove a tag on a mattress would be the consumer who bought the bed.
