During the week of September 19th to 25th it's Recycling Week, bringing awareness to our sector of the industry. Make sure you know where your old bed is going before allowing a company to take it away. Non recycled mattresses have some disturbing facts:

In 2020, of the 6.4 million mattresses that were disposed of, a staggering 4.8 million* of these were not recycled, meaning they likely ended up in landfill or were incinerated. With the current mattress recycling rate only around 24%* there is still lots more room for improvement!

Unlike some other companies that simply dispose of your mattress, we are confident in the knowledge that your old mattress will be broken down to its raw materials and recycled in a ethical and eco-friendly manner. It's definitely worth asking the question to the company you choose to recycle your old mattress / bed, as a lot of online companies will offer "disposal" but not a full recycling option, like Now to Bed.

Rest assured that all Now to Bed recycled mattresses and beds are taken to a leading Recycling centre to be broken down and stripped into its parts for reuse.
