Mattress Removal in Scottsdale: A Simple Pickup Guide
Replacing a bed is a good time to check what the old one actually includes. A mattress-only request may leave a foundation, headboard, or adjustable base behind unless those pieces are part of the agreed scope.

Count every component
List the mattress size and quantity, then add box springs, foundations, rails, headboard, footboard, and powered bases. A king setup may contain two foundations. A storage bed may have several drawers and a substantial platform.
Take one photo of the whole bed and another of any separate pieces. Describe whether the frame is already dismantled. Keep hardware together if you take it apart, and identify sharp brackets or broken supports.
Plan the route from the bedroom
Include the floor and the route to the exit. If the bed is in an apartment, give the unit and building numbers, elevator arrangement, and permitted loading spot. An elevator that is available for residents may still require advance coordination for large furniture.
Do not move a heavy adjustable base down stairs alone to prepare for a quote. Show the access and ask the team to assess the carrying work in the agreed removal scope.
Discuss condition before pickup
Remove bedding and personal belongings. Disclose water damage, odors, pest concerns, or a mattress that has been stored outdoors. Handling or containment requirements should be discussed before the crew arrives.
Keep the mattress dry if possible and do not cut it open. A bagged mattress still needs an accurate condition description. Hiding a problem makes it harder to choose an appropriate handling plan.
Coordinate with the replacement delivery
Ask the retailer whether old-bed removal is included and exactly which components it covers. If a separate pickup is needed, share the delivery date without assuming simultaneous access for both teams.
Request a preferred window and wait for confirmation. If the building requires a reserved elevator, match that reservation to the confirmed appointment rather than treating the online date selection as a booking.
Questions, answered.
Do you take box springs too?
Include them in the request with their size and number. They are separate pieces in the removal list.
Should I leave the mattress on the curb?
Discuss the pickup point first. You can request an assessment from its current location.
