Retailer Take Back
If you are having your mattress delivered, California law requires your retailer to offer to take back your old mattress at no additional cost. A few things to know:
- Delivery or set up fees for the products being delivered may still apply.
- The retailer has up to 30 days to take back your old mattress.
- The retailer may refuse to pick up the old mattress if it poses a health or safety risk.
If you believe your retailer is not complying with this law, please let us know.
