Used mattresses in Abu Dhabi typically sell for AED 150 to AED 990 (about $40 to $270). Be realistic about this one: used mattresses are the hardest item in the home to sell, and a great many listings never find a buyer at any price.
Selling a mattress in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi is the capital and its economy is built around government and energy, which means longer postings and more settled households than Dubai. Things are kept for longer and sold in better condition, and the market skews towards quality furniture rather than quick disposals.
Postings here run longer than Dubai’s, so turnover is slower and steadier. The end of the school year is still the peak, but the volume is lower and the items that appear have usually been looked after.
Most of the city sits on an island connected by a handful of bridges, so crossing to the mainland suburbs is a real trip rather than a short hop. Compounds and towers usually need visitor access arranged in advance.
Abu Dhabi has around 1.5 million people in Abu Dhabi, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Al Ain, Madinat Zayed and Ruwais are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Trading is not open in the Emirates yet, so treat this as a reference page: the pricing and the checks below hold, but the listings will appear once sellers here start posting.
What mattresses are worth
What lifts the price
- A protector used from new, with no staining
- No sagging or visible body impressions
What pulls it down
- Sagging and permanent body impressions
- Any suggestion of pests, which ends the sale entirely
Working out what yours is worth
- Strip it and photograph the bare surface in daylight
- Lie on it and check for a visible dip
Getting it ready
- Find the fire safety label sewn into the side seam. Its absence makes an already difficult sale harder still.
- Check the edges and the centre for sagging by pressing down along the length — a dipped middle is what buyers are testing for.

Put in the description
- Size in feet and centimetres
- Approximate age, and whether it has always had a protector on it
Collection only, and never leave it outside in advance — an hour of rain makes it worthless and unsellable. If it does not sell, most councils collect bulky waste for a fee and some retailers take the old one away on delivery of a new one.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
