I feel the worst about mattresses getting returned. I'm tempted to buy a new bed (it's just that time), but not being able to try them out, I'd feel bad returning one if I didn't like it. Those things are huge and hard to recycle, and you can't exactly resell them.

- mkskm 6y agoIt's possible to resell nicer mattresses on Craigslist. CA also has a mandated recycling fee imposed on their sale now.

- cbanek 6y agoI'm reminded of the Simpson's lunch lady: "There's very little meat in these gym mats" as she's grinding them into meatloaf. I'm more concerned now since who knows with the virus what the right way of possibly sanitizing a mattress would take that nobody will be taking them for a while.
