How much to sell super king mattress for?

[Raisondeetre]

I’m trying to sell a super king ottoman bed and mattress. Someone just wants the mattress which has always been used with a topper and about four years old. Good quality pocket sprung . What should I ask for it? It cost about £800.

Absolutely!

I wouldn’t pay them to take it away. I’d advertise it for free though.

How much were you selling the mattress and bed for?

Frankly I think you'd be lucky to get a penny for it. There's no market for second hand mattresses, they don't hold any value.

We have a local free giveaway page where I see similar items.

She literally has someone asking to buy it

I completely disagree, the risk of mattress from a house (especially one where you collect it so can see the cleanliness) is much lower than a hotel with lots of different people using it.

Ok, I disagree with you. We can agree to disagree.

£700

£50

I don't think people buy used mattresses anymore. They'd rather a cheap one that's new than not to know what's happened on it.

Literally a tenner? But more likely you'll need to pay the council to remove it. Charity shops won't take it.

WHAT!!! £700 for a 4yr old mattress and base that cost you £800😧😂

I don't know why people are jumping on you for this? We've had a second hand mattress. It was in great condition when we got it.
It sucks but you are going to have to accept a massive loss, no one wants to pay much for anything second hand. Have a look on your local FB marketplace and see what they are selling for on there but I'd guess £100-150. Good luck!

I agree. I wouldn't want to think what happens to the hotel mattressea I've slept on 🤣

I would say that you want to sell them together.

@Raisondeetre ask the potential buyer to make you an offer.

I’d ask the potential buyer what they are willing to pay.

You'd be lucky to get £50 in my opinion. Second hand mattresses have no value at all.

If you’re Kate Middleton or JLo, maybe a couple of grand?

If you’re Jane Doe, £0.

It’s a 4-year-old used mattress for heaven’s sake!

Bed bugs

I sold the bed as a complete set and got £800. However it had only been slept on 30 ish times. It took 18 months to sell but went in the end. It had cost £1600 new and really did look brand new.

I’ve tried but no takers

It was the mattress that cost £800, she didn’t say what the cost of the bed was. But I totally agree that’s a stupid price for a second hand bed

Then drop the price to something reasonable

Ewwwww

A hundred. Where I live mattresses are generally free and with the words guest bed immaculate and hardly used. They do get snapped up.
