Would you ever purchase a used mattress? In an informal poll, we found that less than 10% of people would buy a used mattress. Surprisingly however, a ton of people try to sell used mattresses all of the time. We looked at the volume in which people were selling used mattresses: We found Mattresses were the 4th most listed furniture type behind Chairs, Tables, and Beds. Due to how people tend to categorize their furniture, it’s unclear how to make the distinction between bed frames and mattresses, but the data clearly shows that they’re a popular second-hand item listed to be sold. It seems likely that people were much more inclined to purchase a used table. In fact, in the same informal poll 100% of people said they would buy a used table. It’s clear that there is a strong difference between buying a used table and a used mattress. When asked about the reasons behind not buying a used mattress, it came down to concerns over cleanliness (let’s call it differences in uses) for the two furniture items.
Using Google Trends we found that new mattresses are listed roughly 2x as often as used mattress on the internet. Again, this is surprising data because we found that only 10% of customers are interested in used mattresses. There are two probable realities for this difference in the data: August is the most popular month for both used and new mattresses. The second most popular month is January. This lines up with industry experts’ suggestion of buying furniture in August and January due to new furniture entering stores. New furniture releases mean sales and clearance pricing. Many people attempt to sell their used mattress, but not as many people are interested in buying used mattresses. This means that there should be a ton of supply for used mattresses, which should drive prices down. If you’re trying to sell a used mattress… you’re not going to get much for the mattress, due to the simple fact that it’s used. To help increase your chances, try to increase the perception of it being as new as possible.
If any of the following is true, add it to your listing to increase your odds of selling! You’ll want to avoid the competition from furniture stores that comes in August and January. If you’re one of the 10% of people who don’t mind buying a used mattress… you’re in a buyer’s market! Be tough when negotiating with sellers, and don’t be afraid to shoot for a low price. Odds are, they aren’t getting many offers from anyone else. Many people will be looking to take advantage of the pricing deals, therefore getting rid of their old mattress. Take advantage of this! It’s hard to pinpoint an exact value without knowing the details about the mattress. You can run the different attributes through Blue Book for Furniture to get an estimate of its value, but the real market value is probably even lower. The most typical mattress price in the secondhand market is $250. Once the mattress has been taken out of its protective seal, it’s going to lose value similar to how a brand new car loses value after driving off the lot.
We’d suggest a healthy dose of low expectations when forecasting the future value of your mattress, otherwise you may be sorely disappointed.At CORT Furniture Clearance Centers, we know that a great night’s sleep starts with a great mattress.

He explained that on those times that he was stuck staying in Salem for the night because of his duties as Senator he wanted a bed for his office. He was a dedicated Representative who always fought for us and was okay with a used twin bed in his office. He will be greatly missed as a man of virtue and dedication.
