Over 6.4 million mattresses were disposed of in the UK in 2020 alone. The planet needs solutions, not problems.
mattresses were disposed of in the UK in 2020, according to analysis by Oakdene Hollins for the National Bedding Federation.
The problem
Creating a circular economy is just part of a long-term solution. It reduces the need to take materials from the earth to make products in the first place.
A mattress deemed waste by the end user does not mean that 100% of its components have reached the end of their life. In most cases just one or two components have, and the rest are still in like-new condition.
Why mattresses are replaced
Mattress dips / sags
Damaged in transit
House move / re-decorate
Retailer 100-day mattress trials
Spillage / accidental damage
Comfort / age replacement
4.8 million sent to landfill in 2020
Mattresses are a huge problem for landfill sites: the springy nature of a mattress causes soft spots in the ground, and spring wires become entangled in machinery.
