Used cots in Mathura typically sell for ₹2,750 to ₹6,500 (about $29 to $68). Cots sell well because they are bulky to buy new and used only briefly, but buyers check one thing first: whether every fixing and instruction is present so they can rebuild it safely.
Selling a cot in Mathura
Mathura is one of the most important pilgrimage cities in the country as the birthplace of Krishna, and the temple economy shapes almost everything about it. A large refinery sits nearby, which gives the district a salaried industrial workforce alongside the pilgrimage and agricultural trade.
Refinery and railway postings move salaried households on transfer cycles, which is when complete sets of furniture and appliances appear. The pilgrimage economy also supports a steady trade in guesthouse furnishings being replaced.
The old city around the temples is dense and largely closed to vehicles at busy times, so agree a meeting point on a main road rather than inside it. Pilgrimage seasons change the traffic completely, so confirm the day as well as the hour.
Mathura, in Uttar Pradesh, has around 350,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Lucknow, Kanpur and Ghaziabad are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

- Current safety standard labels intact
- Solid wood construction with no splits
What pulls it down

Working out what yours is worth
- Check the bar spacing and safety label
- Inspect the top rails for bite damage and splinters
Getting it ready
- Find or download the assembly instructions, and gather every bolt, allen key and fixing. A cot missing fixings is close to unsellable.
- Check the mattress base and the slats for cracks, and confirm the drop-side or height adjustment still locks properly.

- Any chew marks on the rails, which are extremely common and should be shown rather than hidden
Put in the description
- Whether a mattress is included, and its age and condition
- Material, and whether the height adjusts or a side drops
Steady all year. Cot beds sell faster than plain cots because they last longer, and solid wood outsells board.
