Used mattresses in Aberdeen typically sell for £30 to £200 (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 Aberdeen
Aberdeen is built almost entirely of granite, which gives it a colour nothing else in the country has, and it has been the oil capital of Europe for fifty years. It has two universities, a working harbour and a climate that is genuinely cold and windy rather than merely northern.
Offshore rotations move households on fixed cycles and the oil sector’s ups and downs move the whole market at once rather than gradually. Two universities clear student housing each summer.
The centre is compact and walkable and the station is central. Wind here is constant rather than occasional, which matters for anything being carried or loaded outdoors.
Aberdeen, in Scotland, has around 200,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dundee are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Aberdeen
Royal Mail, Evri and InPost cover the whole country, and InPost lockers mean neither side has to be in for a delivery. Tracked 48 is the usual default for small parcels.

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
- Strip it and photograph the bare surface in daylight
- Lie on it and check for a visible dip
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.
Photograph
- The second side, also bare, because buyers assume you photographed the better one
- The edges and any mark, dip, tear or repair, close up and uncropped
Put in the description
- Type — open coil, pocket sprung, memory foam or hybrid — and the firmness
- Whether the fire label is present, and any stain or sag stated plainly
State size, type and age: “Double Pocket Sprung Mattress, 3 Years Old, No Stains”. Age is the unusual case where volunteering it helps, because a buyer’s first assumption about a used mattress is that it is older than it is. Memory foam, pocket sprung and open coil are all real searches.
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.
