Free Old Mattress Pickup in California

Under California law, customers are eligible for free pickup of one used mattress for each new mattress purchased.

Because Mattress Express delivers through common carriers such as UPS or FedEx, pickup is arranged separately and will take place within 30 days of delivery of your new mattress.

To request pickup, please contact support@mattressexpress.com when placing your order or as soon as possible after delivery.

We may decline pickup if the used mattress is contaminated or poses a health or safety risk.
