Trying to Sell Your Old Mattress? Read This Before Calling a Disposal Service

So, you’ve got an old mattress sitting around. It’s “still okay,” “can sleep one more year,” and you’re hoping to make a bit of cash.You Google “resale mattress Singapore,” and instead of listing it online…🧠 You click on a Google Ad for a junk disposal company — and call them.

We see it all the time.And honestly? We’re flattered you thought we were interested in buying.But here’s the truth: You’re paying Google to find a service you don’t actually need — and we’re paying for the click from an ad that wasn’t meant for you.

Let’s clear the air.

**Old Stained Mattress For Bulky Junk Removal**

❌ Used Mattress = Tough Sell in Singapore

Even if your mattress looks clean and comes from a “non-smoking, pet-free home,” it’s still used.And in Singapore, that’s a tough pitch. Here's why:

Hygiene concerns: Bed bugs, mould, skin conditions — no one wants to take chances
No warranty: Buyers don’t want secondhand risk without protection
Transport issues: Most buyers don’t have a van or truck
Abundance of cheap options: Brand new mattresses from online brands go for $100–$200 — why gamble on used?

Even charities rarely accept mattresses, no matter how gently used they are.

🤔 Why Are You Calling a Junk Disposal Company, Then?

Simple: You’re not sure where else to go. So you Google it.

But instead of posting your mattress on platforms like:

Carousell
Facebook Marketplace
Preloved SG groups

…you call a professional bulky junk removal service that charges for disposal, not buys.

👉 And each of those clicks costs us money — even if all you wanted was a free resale opinion.

We're not mad. But let’s stop wasting both our time.

💸 Want to Sell? Here’s the Right Way

If your mattress really is in good condition, try these first:

List it on Carousell: Be honest about condition, measurements, and buyer pickup
Post in JB or SG Preloved Facebook groups: Especially if you're near the Causeway
Ask friends or helpers: Some may need a temporary bed setup

Just know that even a “free” mattress can take weeks to find a taker.

🗑️ If You Can’t Sell It, Here’s the Responsible Option

If it’s stained, sagging, or rejected by multiple buyers — it’s not resale material.It’s bulky junk. And that’s where we come in.

Junk Value offers:

✅ Same-day disposal for mattresses in Singapore

✅ Dismantling help if your bedframe’s still attached

✅ Legal NEA-approved dumping (not just throwing it at the bin centre)

🤷‍♀️ TL;DR:

Don’t call a disposal company hoping to sell your mattress.If it’s junk, we’ll clear it.If you want to sell, go to Carousell or Facebook Marketplace.

If you’re not sure — send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
