Here Are 41 Places You Can Get a Brand New Mattress For FREE (Online or In Person)

It's true that mattresses can be quite pricey, but they're crucial to your health and well-being if you want to get a decent night's sleep at home.

Although there are usually ongoing sales at mattress stores, mattresses can still be quite pricey.

It's human nature to try to find cheap ways to furnish one's home, and free beds and mattresses may seem like a tempting option.

That's why I've compiled this list of 40+ resources to help you score a free mattress for every room in your house.

It's time to stop stressing about your finances when trying to get some shut-eye.

The Best Ways to Obtain a Complimentary Bed in a Box Online

The free trials offered by mattress companies will be the primary focus of the methods I will discuss for obtaining a free mattress online.

Although this article addresses the issue of people abusing free trials by requesting a refund before the trial period is up, in practice I would advise against doing so.

I mean, give it some thought: if enough people did this, mattress companies would keep losing money.

A loss would mean the end of the free trials and/or an increase in prices, both of which would be bad news for consumers looking to buy a mattress.

Take advantage of these no-risk offers to sleep on the mattress of your choice for an extended period of time before making a final decision.

If it isn't, you can always call the company and ask for a replacement.

Keep reading for a list of alternatives to mattress trials if you're looking for a free bed.

These aren't always prominently displayed, so you may have to do some digging on a website or get in touch with support to learn more about them.

The goal of these initiatives is to get real people's opinions on newly released or upcoming products, in this case mattresses.

Since the mattress is non-transferable, you get to keep it at no cost to you through the tester program, and you won't even have to worry about returning it.

Learn How to Become a Sleep Blogger

Bloggers who focus on sleep, mattresses, or the home may collaborate with mattress manufacturers to review new products, often in exchange for a free mattress.

Having a sizable blog audience and high social media engagement will make you more attractive to mattress brands looking to collaborate with bloggers.

There should be some way to find out if a specific mattress manufacturer has an ambassador program, such as by visiting the manufacturer's website or getting in touch with the manufacturer directly.

When browsing Reddit, you never know what you might find.

Add Them as a Social Media Friend

The same thing can happen if you subscribe to your preferred mattress brands on social media.

Having them on your follow list can be helpful, as they occasionally hold follower-only contests and giveaways.

It's best to check a company's website for social media page links if you can't track them down on the various networking sites.

And Sign Up for Their E-Newsletters

Finally, you should sign up for a mattress company's newsletter, which is typically available through the company's website.

By signing up for promotional email lists, you can find out about free mattress giveaways before anyone else. These lists are often used to announce new products, sales, and contests.

Really neat, huh

Find a Location to Get a Free Bed Span

Here are some options for acquiring a free bed in your area:

Quite a few of them can find you a secondhand bed, which is great for those who want to save money on their bedroom makeover or who need to furnish an extra bed.

However, there are some suggestions that could net you a free replacement mattress.

Inquire Amongst Your Pals

A good place to start is with the people you already know and trust, such as your family and friends.

They may be able to provide a new or gently used mattress to those in need.

Facebook

Try asking around on Facebook if anyone you know is willing to part with a mattress.

Alternatively, you can search the Market and hopefully find a low-cost or even free option there.

Craigslist

The "Free" section of your local Craigslist page is the best place to look for free mattresses.

If there aren't any for free that you're looking for, you could always try the "for sale" sections.

Department of Health or Employment and Family Services in your community

If you are below a certain income threshold, your local health department or Job and Family Services department may be able to assist you in acquiring a new mattress.

These offices are linked to other local aid organizations and can help you find what you need.

Churches

There is a chance that a church could provide a mattress to a member in need.

A mattress is a necessity that your church may be willing to help pay for from the funds they set aside to aid their members in times of need.

Yard Sales

If you have something of value to trade, the owner of a yard sale might be willing to let you have a cheap mattress for free or at a very low price.

Stores Selling Used Items at a Discount

Even though thrift stores are known for their low prices, it is possible to find items that are completely free of charge if you look through the donation pile outside the store.

If you see a donated mattress and would like it, you can always ask a worker if you can have it for free.

Mobile Application Commerce

Check if anyone close to you is selling or giving away a mattress using a local buying and selling app like OfferUp or 5miles.

Salvation Army

The next step is to make a post asking for a free mattress in your local group.

Beds4Kidz

In New Mexico, there is a group that facilitates the distribution of donated beds to families in need.

Consult lodgings and lodgings.

Mattresses in hotels and apartment complexes need periodic replacement.

You can inquire at local establishments about retiring older models and, if so, whether you can take one off their hands.

This nonprofit is able to provide free furniture to families in need in select regions of California.

Mattresses from Furniture for Families are available through caseworkers only.

Strollers for parents

To inquire is not to incur any harm.

Checkup on Benefits

It's possible to find senior furniture and mattress assistance programs in some communities.

Does Amazon Offer Free Mattresses?

My research into this matter turned up numerous inquiries from people hoping to score a free bed from Amazon.

Can it even happen?

Some people fall for the "free mattress trial" scam, but others get a free bed by taking part in a similar "Amazon mattress" scam.

They do this by purchasing a bed from Amazon, only to return it for a full refund.

Mattresses cannot be resold because they have been used.

As a result, Amazon will issue a refund and you can keep the bed.

Getting a free mattress in this way is neither legal nor ethical, so you should not expect it from any retailer, including Amazon.

In short, Amazon does not provide free mattresses.

Things to Think About Before Buying a Used Bed

Unfortunately, there are a few issues that can arise from a used mattress, and they can escalate quickly.

The first problem is the dreaded bed bug.

It's disgusting to consider, but bedbugs are a common problem with secondhand mattresses.

Since mattresses are a favorite hiding spot for bed bugs, it's likely that you'll encounter some if you acquire one from a home or other location where these pests have been a problem.

If you see any splotches of red or brown on the bed, you know they're there.

Some of the critters are visible if you look closely enough.

Before bringing the mattress into your home, inspect it carefully for bed bugs. This is true regardless of who or where you buy the mattress from.

Examine the mattress for stains, mold, and general filthiness next.

The health consequences of bringing home a mattress with visible mold or mildew should be taken very seriously.

There should also be an expiration date on the mattress, which can be found by checking the tags.

You can tell how old a mattress is by looking at the tag, but in general, they last between 5 and 10 years.

It's not recommended to use a mattress that is older than 10 years because it may not provide the necessary support for a restful night's sleep.

Finally, FREE Mattress Upgrades

Okay, so we can all agree that free trials are fantastic, right?

Modern mattresses typically come with a 100-day or longer risk-free trial period from the manufacturer.

You can still find mattresses with generous trial periods of 30 or 60 days, which is plenty of time to make sure it's the right fit.

However, I feel it's important to stress that these trials are provided by companies that genuinely care about providing you with a comfortable and supportive mattress.

Getting a good night's sleep after ordering a mattress online can be challenging.

Even if it feels great when you try it on in the store, it may not hold up to your nightly use.

That's why there are trials, and it's not so customers can "test" the mattress and then return it.

Conclusion: Consider the ethical implications.

Some people do take advantage of trials in order to get free mattresses forever.

However, there are a large number of others who are truthful and make ethical use of the trial.

However, I'd be interested in hearing about any other (ethical and legal) means by which you've been able to acquire a bed without spending a dime, such as through charitable organizations or local establishments.
