Does Denver Mattress Take Your Old Mattress?
Denver Mattress charges $49.99 per piece for mattress haul-away — and only when you buy a new mattress from them. That’s $100 for a mattress and box spring. Here’s whether it’s worth it and 4 cheaper alternatives.
The Quick Answer
Denver Mattress charges $49.99 per piece for mattress removal — only with a new purchase.
If you buy a new mattress from Denver Mattress, they’ll haul away your old one for $49.99 per piece. A mattress and box spring together costs $99.98. They will not remove a mattress if you’re not buying from them, and they won’t take other furniture items. The delivery team handles the removal at time of delivery.
Denver Mattress Policy Details
How Denver Mattress’s Haul-Away Actually Works
Denver Mattress (a division of Furniture Row) does offer mattress removal, which puts them ahead of many furniture stores. But there are several important limitations you should know about before assuming this solves your mattress disposal problem.
The service costs $49.99 per piece. That’s an important distinction — “per piece” means your mattress is one piece and your box spring is another. So if you’re getting rid of a full sleep set, you’re looking at $99.98 on top of whatever you’re paying for the new mattress. And this fee is non-negotiable. It’s not included in the delivery charge or bundled with your purchase. It’s a separate line item you’ll see at checkout.
The removal happens at the time of delivery. The delivery crew brings in your new mattress and takes the old one. That part is convenient. But there are several catches: You must be buying a new mattress from Denver Mattress — this is not a standalone service. They only take mattresses and box springs, not bed frames, headboards, or other bedroom furniture. The old mattress must be accessible and ready to go when the delivery team arrives. And if you’re not buying from Denver Mattress, they won’t help you at all.
For people who are already buying a new mattress from Denver Mattress and just want to get rid of the old one during delivery, $49.99 can be a reasonable convenience fee. But if you’re not buying from them, if you have multiple items to get rid of, or if you’d rather not spend an extra $50-$100 on top of your new mattress purchase, there are better options.

Same-Day Junk Removal
Call Junk Same Day and we’ll pick up your old mattress today — no purchase required. We’ll carry it out from any room, load it on our truck, and haul it away for proper disposal or recycling.

Denver Mattress Haul-Away (With Purchase)
If you’re already buying a new mattress from Denver Mattress, their $49.99/piece haul-away is convenient. The delivery crew handles it during setup. Just know that it only covers the mattress being replaced and nothing else.
City Bulk Pickup
Schedule through Denver 311 or your local municipality. You’ll need to wrap the mattress in plastic (bed bug prevention requirement in many areas) and move it to the curb yourself. Pickup is typically scheduled 1-2 weeks out.
DIY Drop-Off at Recycling Center
Some facilities in the Denver area accept mattresses for recycling. You’ll need to transport it yourself (they’re bulky and awkward to move without a truck). Spring Back Colorado and some transfer stations accept mattresses for a small fee.

Most mattress stores do offer haul-away, but every single one requires you to buy a new mattress from them first. If you’re already making that purchase, it may be worth adding the removal fee at checkout. But if you’re not buying a new mattress, or if you’re buying from a different store (online retailers like Casper, Purple, or Tuft & Needle don’t offer haul-away), a dedicated junk removal service is the only option that works independently.
