Donate a Mattress to Charity

You’ve just bought the perfect new bed, mattress and box spring. You can just throw the old ones away, right? Wrong. You can prolong the life of your old bed by donating it to charity. Donate your old bed to help an individual or family through a tough time. Donating an old bed or mattress is the ecologically responsible choice, too. Our landfills don’t need more of our stuff, particularly things that can have a second life in the hands of someone else. Before you let the deliverymen haul off your old bed and mattress, find out if they’re just going to be dumping them. If so, take a few minutes to check out DonationTown.org. You may even find a charity in your area that will come pick up your old bed from your doorstep.

Wondering where to donate an old mattress?

DonationTown.org will help you find a charity in your area that will accept your bed, mattress and other furniture donation. You can also, within minutes, schedule a free pickup of your items. That’s quite a service, considering how heavy and unwieldy beds and mattresses can be! You might also be wondering where your donated bed will go once it’s in the hands of the charity you’ve chosen. Some charities will sell your items to help fund their activities and further their mission. Your donations can go to support a range of individuals and families in different situations. Donate a bed to help a family that’s just lost everything in a fire, earthquake, hurricane, or other natural disaster. Donate a mattress to a battered women’s shelter or refugee center. Donate a mattress to a homeless shelter. Donate a bed to an individual in transition, trying to get back on his feet. Your former bed can help someone else rest easier at night.

Will charities accept beds and mattresses of any size?

You’ll need to check with the charity first, but many organizations will accept your donated bed and mattress of any size. Donate a hospital bed. Donate a baby or crib mattress. Donate an inflatable mattress. Donate a single or twin bed. Donate a full bed. Donate a queen bed. Donate a king or California king bed. Please ensure that your bed and mattress are in good condition. Please do not donate broken, stained, or unsanitary beds and mattresses. And please take care to tell the charity whether the items were in a home with pets or smokers, as people in fragile health can be extremely sensitive to pet hair and cigarette smoke.
