CA Mattress Take Back Law - Free Mattress Collection

If you are purchasing a new mattress and having it delivered, make sure to ask the retailer to remove your old mattress--at no extra charge!  CA law SB 254 requires that as of July 1, 2014, a retailer shall offer a consumer the option to have a used mattress picked up at the time of delivery, at no additional cost to the consumer, if a new mattress is delivered to the consumer.  Any retailer selling a mattress to a California consumer must offer to arrange to pick up a used mattress at no cost to the consumer at the time of purchase.  Starting January 1, 2021, CA law AB 187 expanded the take back requirement to include mattress deliveries made by common carrier that were previously exempt.  Additionally, on January 1, 2020, the definition of a mattress expanded to include futon mattresses.
