Environmental Impact

Mattresses in landfill take decades to break down and waste valuable materials. We strip them down to recover steel springs, separate foam, and send remaining materials for energy recovery instead of landfill.

mattresses to landfill

Steel springs get recycled, fabrics go to energy recovery, and foam gets processed – keeping everything out of landfill where it would just sit for decades.
