Renting and Mattress

[user1469642396]

Hello - We moved to a new apartment a year back. I had asked for new mattress and they had replaced with new mattress but its of very poor quality.

I have developed shoulder and neck issues one after the other (I have the medical diagnosis for both and reports etc) and I think its due to the mattress. Now I am thinking whats the best way to manage this.

I am happy to spend money and buy a good quality mattress that suits my need. But what do I do with the 2 mattresses in my apartment as I don't have space to store them and I doubt the agent/landlord would be OK for me to discard them as when leaving they would need me to ensure the mattresses are in place for next tenants. I think the only option is I buy a reasonably good quality mattress and leave them when I leave the apartment in 2 or 3 years and discard (or sell for peanuts if I get lucky) the old mattress or is there something the landlord/agent/I can do.

Many thanks.

E.mail your landlord and ask him to collect

Are you in the UK? I'm assuming its been rented fully furnished? What is in the contract? I'd think unless it was in the contract that mattress needed to be an 'XYZ orthopaedic ....' then they won't be obliged to replace it- unless its faulty, falling apart etc.

Could you store the current mattress under the bed and put your own on top? Could you put a mattress topper, or even an entire mattress on top of the current one?

Its worth asking the landlord anyways and see IF they can do anything, or store the current mattresses.

I found that a good quality thick memory foam mattress topper transformed a cheap mattress for me. Is this an option?

Thank you all!!
