I bought a mattress off of Amazon a few months back. I like it but my wife hated it. So I went to return it and Amazon said I could keep it. Put it in a guest bedroom, whatever I wanted. Refunded me the $400. I’m laying on it right now and sometimes feel guilty, but my wife is sleeping on our old queen sized bed so I guess I don’t feel that guilty, since eventually I’ll still need to get a mattress she likes.

Apparently mattresses can't be reused/resold (at least in Canada) so mattress companies usually either pick up the mattress and donate it[0], or tell customers to keep them

Bed bugs are an awful scourge that you don’t want under and circumstances. I was an exterminator a lifetime ago and dreaded when I’d see those telltale track marks of blood.

This is the hell I have come to live and be trapped in partially as a result of the pandemic. Those things are pure evil manifest.

I believe that Goodwill will not accept mattresses or pillows, at least in Washington, DC.
