Mattresses are heavy, bulky, and oddly emotional. You spend a third of your life on one — so when it’s time to replace it, the question naturally pops up: Can I sell my old mattress in Singapore?

Let’s break down what’s possible, what’s not, and how to avoid fines, frustration, or a smelly mess in your corridor.

Junk Value Team Removing An Old Used Mattress For Disposal in Singapore

Where To Sell My Old Mattress in Singapore?

Let’s be real: the resale market for old mattresses in Singapore is close to zero. Why? Hygiene.

Even in decent shape, most people are hesitant to buy someone else's mattress due to:

• Dust mites or bedbugs

• Odours and stains

• Sagging or back support issues

• Unknown hygiene or allergy risks

Most secondhand dealers, exporters, or upcyclers won’t touch used mattresses, and platforms like Carousell are flooded with listings offering them for free — with few takers.

Common Misconceptions About Mattress Value

People often believe:

• “I bought this for $1,200, so it must still be worth something.”

• “It's only 2 years old — surely someone can use it.”

• “It’s branded — Simmons, Sealy, etc.”

Unfortunately, those things matter far less than condition, hygiene, and pickup logistics.

Even branded mattresses lose most of their value after just a few years. In fact, many “free” listings still sit unclaimed.

Know The Options. Sell, Dump or Pay?

Here’s the breakdown:

Option	Will It Work?	Notes
Sell on Carousell	❌ Very unlikely	Buyers avoid used mattresses
Donate to charities	❌ Usually rejected	Health & safety regulations apply
Scrap dealers	❌ No	Mattresses have little to no scrap value
Town Council	✅ Sometimes	HDB only, limit 3 bulky items per month
Junk removal service	✅ Yes	Fast, legal, and stair-friendly

Can I Sell My Old Mattress in Singapore? What to Expect

If you do try to sell:

• Expect few views and no replies

• Be prepared to offer free delivery (most buyers don’t own vans)

• Even giving it away free may not work — unless it’s visibly like-new

Save yourself the energy. Your time is better spent arranging a proper removal.

Left Your Old Mattress at the Void Deck or Corridor?

Illegal dumping is a serious offense in Singapore.

Mattresses dumped in public spaces may:

• Trigger NEA investigations

• Lead to fines up to $10,000

• Upset neighbours or condo management

If your mattress is blocking common areas or left outside a lift lobby, you could be held responsible — even if someone else placed it there later.
