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.

...and we're done here
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.
Everything is a dildo if you're brave enough.
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.
Mail it to the Whitehouse collect.

The West Virginia method: take it outside, lean it against your trailer, and forget about it.
Throw it in front of your house and leave it there. When asked by your neighbors, say "it showed up there yesterday"
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!
pack it as tightly as possible, and put it in a stage-box (think musicians, drum set, etc). Go to random hotel check into room with your "instruments" for your "gig" tomorow. switch mattress before leaving next moring.
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)
Eta. Oops. I didn't read. I'll delete.
Fold it length way, rope around each end. Open the middle stick a bit of wood in it......and canoe. Bonus old pillows on a stick for a paddle
Put it in the blender piece by piece and flush it down the toilet Or put it in your pocket and feed it to the birds in the local park.
Stick it in the front yard with a sign that says
Free soiled mattress!
Whomever takes it is now your bff
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.
Put it out the front of your house with a sign saying 'Free mattress to fuck on, so long as I can film you doing it".
