Mattress removal
starts here.
A mattress and box spring take up space quickly and may be difficult to carry through a narrow room or stairwell.
Plan an estimate
What to include in the request
List mattress size, count, box springs, and any bed frame pieces. Describe condition or contamination so acceptance can be checked in advance.
Clear the path, note stairs or elevator access, and ask about a building’s move or loading rules.
Make a useful item list
- Count large pieces and describe the smaller items.
- Note the pickup address and the room or storage area.
- Describe stairs, gates, elevators, and parking.
- Ask about unusual materials before placing them in the load.

How the work moves forward
Share the list and access details first. A provider can then assess the load, explain how the estimate is set, and confirm what the job includes. Final timing and price need direct confirmation.
Before anyone arrives
Keep items you want to save in a separate area. Clear the path where practical, and tell the provider about building rules or restricted materials.
