What are you going to replace it or just let the guy return home to no bed?

If you're already spending money and buying him a new mattress just pay one of those services that get rid of mattresses and stuff to dispose of it

Get some rubber gloves and a plastic mattress cover. Put on gloves, put mattress in bag, take off gloves and move on down the hall.

The bigger questions is why are you talking to your neighbors instead of just being invisible to the world around you so that you never have to help anyone do anything, thus wasting your time.

Sell the mattress to a piss fetishist on Craigslist. They will pay you and pick it up for free.

Also how are you going to explain him having a new mattress. "Your old mattress made me vomit so I got you a new one, I hope you like it?" Or are you going to pretend it's the same old mattress?

A mattress bag? I've never seen one for sale. Plastic sheets, sure but not bags. Will google and see if getting one is realistic in the time I have.

Cheap too. Thank you.

Lowes, Home Depot, or any mattress store if you don't want to wait for the mail. Probably Walmart, too.

Also it's better to buy one you can put your hands on in advance. Some are really thin plastic that may not even hold up sliding across carpet. A heavy duty one is closer to twenty bucks.

They can be snug to put on, so you may want to get one for a larger size mattress so you don't have to fight with it and it's just going in a dumpster anyway. If it's a king and you can't get a too big bag, just take your time and tug up one side a little and than do the other side. It takes a while, but with patience you can avoid getting marinaded in old man pee.

Please bitches. If nothing else I am a gentleman
Get some plastic wrapping that they use to wrap goods for transport on pallets. Lean the mattress against something and wrap it with the plastic. You can basically coat it in plastic wrap because you will have so much. Then just move it into the trash like you would a normal, non stinky mattress.

you could get a casper and pee on it while it's still crammed up in the small delivery box so you get the most coverage/volume

Leave the new mattress covered in plastic when you put sheets on it, or you're just giving this guy a new 100 lbs piss rug to take care of. Hopefully his new Foley/suprapubic catheter works well and doesn't leak.

If you are getting him a new mattress, get a bag for that one too. It may make a fitted sheet a little hard to keep on, but it'll keep the pee off of the new one. Keeping old people from ruining their mattresses is pretty much why they make the bags.

Wear a raincoat.

Like a literal raincoat.

Make a quick trip inside to open the windows for about an hour before you actually start doing anything with the mattress (don't let the cat run away).

Steal a throw rug from another neighbor, use that to wrap and transport the mattress, then return it as-is. Post about how that goes.

Good luck OP you seem a decent fellow.
