Recycling mattresses – UK statistics 2022<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Mattress recycling is the process of breaking down used mattresses and repurposing the materials for other uses. This can include recycling the steel coils, foam, and other materials for use in new products such as carpet padding or insulation. In order to recycle a mattress, it must be clean and free of bed bugs and other infestations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to statistics shared by The National Bed Federation, 24% of mattresses are sent for recycling in the UK (2022). However, after sorting and processing, only 14% end up being recycled. This means a significant number of mattresses end up in landfill each year! This not only creates an eye sore but more importantly, impacts on the environment. The UK Government is aware of the current haphazard approach for end-of-life mattresses. As such, they are considering including mattresses as a product category under their \u2018Extended Producer Responsibility\u2019 (EPR) scheme. This is something we at Land of Beds support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The importance of recycling mattresses<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Recycling mattresses is important for several reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Environmental protection: Mattresses are made of materials that can take a long time to decompose in landfills, such as steel, foam, and wood. By recycling them, these materials can be repurposed and used again, reducing the need for new resources.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Space conservation: Landfills are becoming increasingly crowded, and recycling mattresses can help free up space in these facilities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Health and safety: Mattresses can be a breeding ground for pests, such as bedbugs and dust mites, and can also harbor mold and mildew. Recycling them can help prevent these health and safety hazards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Economic benefits: Mattresses can be disassembled and the materials can be sold to manufacturers to be used in new products, generating revenue for local economies.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Overall recycling mattresses is a important step towards sustainable living and reduction of waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Possible ways to recycle a mattress<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    There are several ways to recycle a mattress:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Donating: Some organisations, such as homeless shelters and charities, will accept gently used mattresses. This not only diverts the mattress from the landfill, but it also provides a valuable resource for people in need.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Deconstruction: Mattresses can be taken apart and the materials can be recycled separately. The steel springs can be sold to scrap metal yards, the foam can be used in carpet padding or insulation, and the wood can be used as fuel or mulch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Composting: Mattresses can be broken down and made into compost, which can be used to enrich soil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Refurbishment: Some companies will refurbish mattresses and donate or resell them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Take Back Programmes: Many mattress manufacturers and retailers have take-back programs that will recycle mattresses for you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      It is important to check with your local authorities and waste management companies to see what options are available in your area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Mattress recycling service at Land of Beds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      At Land of Beds, we take our corporate social responsibility seriously. We work closely with suppliers and manufacturers to ensure that they too take their environmental and sustainability roles and responsibilities seriously. We are proud to partner with manufacturers who continually research and explore new uses for each and every part of a mattress.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      When customers add our removal and recycle service, mattresses are collected and returned to a third-party provider (Bulky Bob\u2019s) for assessment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Bulky Bob\u2019s<\/a> collects, sells & gifts\u202fpre-loved furniture with the ultimate aim of ending furniture poverty.  Collected mattresses, if suitable, are prepared for reuse after being subjected to Bob\u2019s Ultraclean machine. This ground-breaking machine uses a seven-step intensive cleaning process to ensure all mattresses are clean and hygienic before being redistributed. When it is not possible to reuse a mattress, it is recycled responsibly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As a result, less mattresses end up in landfill each day. To do this, mattresses are taken apart with the different materials being separated ready for transportation to other recycling destinations. For example, metal springs are sent to a metal recycling plant to be melted down and used in new iron products.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Due to health and safety, our delivery teams will only deliver up to 3-flights of stairs.

      (Measuring the size and dimensions of your bedroom and the current size of your mattress is important when considering buying a new mattress because it ensures that the new mattress will fit properly in your bedroom and that it will be the correct size for you to comfortably sleep on. Additionally, measuring can help you determine the appropriate size of mattress to purchase, whether it’s a twin, full, queen, or king size. Correct measurements will avoid buying a mattress that is too small or too large for your space and needs.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Do I need to inform you about potential vehicle restrictions? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      Any additional information such as potential vehicle restrictions, parking restrictions or road restrictions will be helpful to our delivery partners. Please contact with our customer care team via, help@landofbeds.co.uk<\/a> or 01928 241239 and they will be able to help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These experiences solidified her belief that quality sleep is a foundation for both learning and lifelong well-being.

Ackers"},"description":"With a strong background in psychology, special educational needs, education, and neuroscience, Judith combines her experience as a former primary school headteacher with her role as a mother of three. Her professional and personal insight allows her to explore the many ways sleep impacts people of all ages \u2013 from childhood development and learning to adult health and emotional well-being. About Judith Education and Early Career Judith\u2019s passion for helping others \u2013 particularly children and individuals with special needs \u2013 led her to pursue a dual honours degree in psychology and conductive education at Keele University. Conductive education, which blends neuroscience with hands-on learning techniques, sparked Judith\u2019s interest in the connection between sleep and brain development. Through her work in schools, she saw firsthand how poor sleep affected children\u2019s emotional resilience, behaviour, and academic performance. These experiences solidified her belief that quality sleep is a foundation for both learning and lifelong well-being. Connecting Science with Everyday Sleep Judith is passionate about making the science of sleep accessible and practical. Whether she\u2019s helping parents improve their child\u2019s bedtime routine, advising adults on the best products for better rest, or exploring how diet and lifestyle affect sleep quality, her advice is grounded in both research and real-life experience. Judith writes about all aspects of sleep for Land of Beds \u2013 from buying guides and sleep product reviews to evidence-based tips for improving sleep hygiene and creating healthy night time habits.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/judith-ackers-650446249\/"],"gender":"Female","award":["BSc in Psychology and Conductive Education.
