With the Memorial Day mattress sales now in full swing, purchasing from a brand that offers free mattress removal when buying a new bed will make the swap-over process straightforward and stress free.

What is free mattress removal?

Even the best mattresses with lifetime warranties won’t last forever, so the quandary of how to get rid of your old mattress when you buy a new one will crop up from time to time. Some mattress brands will agree to remove your old mattress — provided that the cover is intact and that it is pest free — for a fee.

Nectar and Leesa both charge $199 for this service, while GhostBed charges $279 and Bear charges $100. However, some mattress brands offer this service for free. Saatva, Stearns & Foster and Cocoon by Sealy all provide old mattress removal free of charge — see below for their best Memorial Day mattress deals.

Cocoon by Sealy Chill memory foam mattress: Was from $619 | now from $399 at Cocoon by Sealy
