Lightly used mattresses from a known brand sell quickly on Facebook Marketplace, because half of Australia wants a decent bed for a spare room, a rental or a first flat without paying new prices. This page gives you the listing, the price and the process, and the money lands in your hand this week instead of a refund cycle.
A pickup return refunds 100 percent of the mattress price, minus nothing, but it does carry the flat $250 pickup fee and a couple of weeks of process. Selling costs nothing, ends the moment someone drives away with it, and on our most popular models the numbers land surprisingly close or better. Put in what you paid and see both paths side by side.
Asking price guidance is roughly 45 percent of what you paid, which is where clean, lightly used name brand mattresses tend to move within days on Marketplace. Your mattress, your price, so ask more if it is near new.
Put fresh sheets on, make the bed properly and open the curtains. A made bed in daylight photographs like a bed someone wants, a bare mattress against a wall photographs like a problem.
One straight on from the foot of the bed, one from each side, one close up of the label so buyers can see the brand and model, and one of the mattress stripped to show it is clean and stain free.
The generator below writes the title and description for your exact model, including the details buyers ask about anyway: size, firmness, age, and why you are selling.
Start at about 45 percent of what you paid, rounded to a friendly number. Marketplace buyers expect to haggle, so build in a little room and decide your walk away number before anyone messages.
Open the Facebook app, tap Marketplace, tap Sell, choose Item, add your photos, paste the title and description, set the price and your suburb, and tap Publish. It is live to your whole region in under five minutes.
Reply to every enquiry with the same line: it is available, pickup only from your suburb, cash or bank transfer on handover. Serious buyers confirm a time, everyone else disappears, and that is the filter working.
Daytime pickup, another adult home with you, money received before the mattress leaves the door. Most buyers bring a ute or trailer, so you never lift anything further than the driveway.
Everything on this page in one printable document: the seven steps, the photo checklist, the listing templates and the safety rules. Handy if you are helping a parent sell theirs.

Selling your mattress ends the 120 night comfort guarantee for it, because we can only refund a mattress we collect or that you dispose of through the portal. Tell buyers plainly that it is a used mattress, keep it clean and stain free, and hand over the care instructions if you still have them. The 15 year warranty covers manufacturing defects for the original purchaser and does not transfer with a private sale. If you are unsure whether selling or returning suits you better, run your numbers through the calculator above or email us at info@mattresscrafters.com.au.
