In many markets IKEA will remove your old mattress when they deliver your new one, usually for an added fee, but availability and terms vary by store and delivery provider. It is worth asking at checkout, and worth knowing the limits before you count on it.
How IKEA mattress removal typically works
Where the service exists, you add removal to a qualifying delivery and the team takes the old mattress when they drop the new one. The standard conditions apply: the old unit needs to be ready at the exchange point, dry, and free of pest issues. Removal without a delivery attached is generally not offered, so if you bought in store and carried the mattress home yourself, you are usually on your own for the old one.
Where the service falls short
Timing is the usual problem. If your new mattress ships parcel, which many boxed IKEA mattresses do, there is no delivery team and therefore no removal. And if the removal gets declined at the door for condition, the fee may come back but the mattress does not leave.
The alternative that works regardless of where you bought
Mattress removal through Mattress Disposal Plus starts at $85, with the exact price shown before you book and a Loader who hauls it from inside the home. Clean mattresses are offered to local charity partners first, recycling comes next where facilities exist, and the price never changes based on the outcome. Book it for delivery day and the swap happens in one afternoon.
