Trying to set my old ripped up mattress on fire. How can I prevent the apartment from burning too?

I finally got a new matress so I want to get rid of the old one. It's too heavy for me carry downstairs so I was going to burn it in the middle of the room. I set it in the middle of the room and away from the walls and the walls are covered in aluminum foil. Should this be good enough?

    On the off chance that you really are that simple, I will answer your question: you will cause major smoke damage to the building and things in it. You will kill anyone in close proximity from the inhalation hazard and will probably burn the building down anyway.

    Use two-ply tinfoil and you should be golden. I say go for it! Also close all the doors and windows and stay in the room to monitor the progress.
