    If it is all foam can you cut it into smaller pieces and put it in bin bags, I got rid of mine that way in the wheely bin over a few weeks as the mattress bits stayed dry in the bags.

    Adonis - that's a novel idea. I don't think I'll be trying it though. Thanks all the same.

    Almost all independents will offer a disposal service.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    I'm almost certainly going to go for the Tesco Direct mattress I've seen Great reviews and currently half price.

    Thanks all.

    I took my old one to tip in car just rolled it up in a medium sized car. Some councils will take them away but often charge for it

    Land of beds offer the service. Think it costs £39.




    They take them to an authorised recycling centre in Stoke to get rid of. At least they don't dump them at the side of the road like some would

    Can you not cut it (bread knife?) and fit it under/around your bath? That would provide some useful insulation if you have an iron bath or like a long soak.

    John Lewis. Or our local council has an area for them at the main dump.
