Used mattresses in Bathurst typically sell for A$57 to A$385 (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 Bathurst
Bathurst is one of the oldest inland settlements in the country and it is known for the mountain circuit above the town, which brings an enormous motorsport crowd once a year. It has a university campus and genuinely cold winters, both of which shape the local market.
The student intake clears share houses each year and the motorsport scene keeps parts and tools circulating well beyond race week. Cold winters put genuine seasonal demand behind heating-adjacent goods and warm clothing.
The town is small and easy to drive in for most of the year, and comprehensively booked out during race week. Agree a landmark near the centre and avoid that week entirely if you can.
Bathurst, in New South Wales, has around 38,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What mattresses are worth
What lifts the price
- A protector used from new, with no staining
- Recognised brands with known specifications
What pulls it down
- Sagging and permanent body impressions
- Unknown age or history
Working out what yours is worth
- Lie on it and check for a visible dip
- State the age and whether a protector was used
Getting it ready
- Strip it and inspect both sides in daylight for stains, which for most buyers ends the conversation regardless of price.
- 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
Slow, always. Expect weeks rather than days even when priced low, and expect enquiries that go quiet after the hygiene question. Clean, recent, protector-covered mattresses in common sizes are the ones that do sell.
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.
