The Legality of Buying Used Mattress: Tips and Guidelines

If you are having a hard time sleeping even though you are too tired from work the whole day, maybe it is time for you to check your mattress. It it possible that it’s sagging or too old making you uncomfortable. However, the problem is that people still choose not to buy one because it it too expensive. There are those who are smart enough to buy second hand mattress that are still in a perfect condition. On the other hand, there are concern regarding the selling of used mattress. Plenty of buyers are saying that they were scammed from buying the mattress because the seller’s claim that the mattress is still in good condition is not true at all.

Lots of arguments were raised. The only point is that there is actually no law that prohibits the selling of used or second hand products. It is the sole duty and responsibility of the buyer to know what they are buying. In case of buying a mattress, even if there are stores or online shops that claim that the mattress is new, it is still better to check the label. If you see that there is a label saying that the mattress is new and in good quality, chances are it really is brand new. This is because the government is requiring that if the mattress is new and it contains a material that the user should be informed of, the mattress must have a tag. If it happens to not have a tag, then I suggest that you try other sellers or educate first yourself regarding the type of mattress you want to buy. You may consider reading Sleepy Will.

Don’t get me wrong, there are countries or states that do not really require these labeling requirements especially if the mattress is not a new one. Since this is the case, sellers just usually disinfect the mattress before selling it. This is for some other states. Some states has a rule that certain parts of mattress can only be used such as the spring. Basically we all must have to be responsible consumers and buyers.
