Se compran colchones is an audio recording that is frequently played in [[Mexico]] to solicit the purchase of used household items including mattresses, refrigerators, stoves, washing machines, and microwaves. The pickup trucks playing the recording are so numerous that it has entered the popular culture of [[Mexico City]].

==History==
It was originally recorded on a cassette in 2005 by a young woman named María del Mar Terrón at the request of her father, Marco Antonio, who is a ferroviejero, which is an itinerant purchaser of used metal items. The recording is used by almost all the fierroviejeros in Mexico City, and also in other [[Mexican states]].
María is popularly nicknamed ''Niña de fierro'',<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.publimetro.com.mx/mx/no...endan-asi-se-inmortalizo-voz-nina.html|title= fierro viejo que vendan así |date=2015-11-10|work=Publimetro}}</ref> and ''del fierro viejo''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.davidestrada.org/index.php/historia/13-historia/611-la-nina-del-fierro-viejo|title=La niña del fierro viejo|first=David |last=Estrada}}</ref>
The recording was registered, but its authors do not benefit financially from its use by old iron collection cars. Mr. Terrón declared that "using that recording feels good because in some way you are doing your part to keep those people working."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://noticieros.televisa.com/ult...ar-fierro-viejo-obtiene-derechos/|title=Autor del audio para comprar fierro viejo registra obra y obtiene derechos|last=Sánchez Hernández|first=Liliana|date=2017-07-31|work=Noticieros Televisa}}</ref>
==In popular culture ==
The recording has been [[remix]]ed to create songs and telephone [[ringtone]]s, and has been used in series and films set in Mexico City, such as ''Cindy la Regia'' and ''Chingolandia''. On March 8, 2021, the [[feminist]] collective Fieras Fierras published a remix in which they rewrote the lyrics of Se compra colchones to "They are looking for each other, people, allies, warriors, (...) against the old iron that abounds".
