I will confirm that I did it by posting “I did it” here. This will negate any need for any type of photographic or other tangible evidence because I’m an honest person and you’re horrible for suggesting otherwise.

Tie it to the roof of your car, preferably a 25-30 year old subcompact with bald tires and head for the freeway. Make sure to use string, not rope, and don't waste money on too much string.

Enjoy the drive and the problem just goes away.

    fuck I actually did this once. I didn't tie it on, but I was driving the car and suddenly there was no mattress

    Light it on fire while it's still in your room. No need to move anything!

    Just stack the new mattress on top of the old one. Problem solved.

    Take it to the country, find a 10-12" culvert under a driveway or access, pull a winch line through the culvert, attach it firmly to the mattress, winch until the mattress is all the way in the culvert, cut the winch line, and you're done.

    Optional: call one of those YouTube drain clearing guys.

    I was at a party once where they burned a mattress, actually it wasn't really a party, just a meth heads house at night time. So you could do that.

    Fire cleanses all.

    Best if done in the living room so your house gets all the smokey goodness.

    Tear some holes in it, sprinkle in nuts, and leave in your backyard. Congratulations: you now have a rodent hotel!

    Poke a hole in it and grease it up. Put it at the end of your driveway with a sign that says "Free Fuckable Mattress, first come, first serve!"

    Dammit… had to delete my comment because I said almost the exact same thing. I’m glad I’m not the only insane one.

    No I have not. I’ll go look for it.

    Edit: Well shit…. I guess I’m more redneck than I thought. Not surprised since I grew up in WV.

    Hang it on a wall as a statement piece or art with all the suspicious looking yellow stains.

    --Edit--

    This method has additional merit in that you don't actually even get rid of it.

    This reminds me when I was a grad student at CU Boulder, one of the frat houses decided to get rid of an old couch by dragging it out into the street and setting on fire. Became a running joke in town for years afterward.

    Cut a hole in it and fuck it. Keep doing that with new holes until it with falls apart or rots from the inside out.

    Nativity scene, where all of the characters are Barbie’s. Preferably the life sized ones. Dressed in furry costumes. Some of which should be missing limbs, heads, etc. Apply makeup liberally. Use the remaining lipstick to write “a rum pum pum pum” in big bold letters on the front side of the mattress. Place your creation out sometime mid-March for greatest effect.

    If you do it just right, they take you to a place where you will get a new mattress, and where the walls are mattresses too!

    Rip off the material, and take the innards to a metal recycling plant near you, for free. (Disclaimer, I'm assuming metal recycling places take things for free in your area)

    If you burn all the fabric off and tie the springs behind yer truck and drag it down a gravel road it'll level it out pretty neat.

    Sorry, this is the correct answer.
