The Mattress Warehouse Green & Clean Initiative

At Mattress Warehouse, it is our mission to keep used mattresses out of your home and out of landfills.

Introducing Mattress Warehouse’s Green & Clean Initiative; from the brands we carry to the way we dispose of old mattresses, we are committed to making our Earth a better (and cleaner!) place.

Most people consider mattresses an item that is “hard to dispose of.” Many end up in landfills. In fact, according to the Mattress Recycling Council , more than 50,000 mattresses are discarded every day. Some companies have decided the solution to this problem is a certified used mattress, but we believe our customers and their families deserve better. It is our commitment to you to provide new, high-quality, factory-sealed products while keeping used products out of landfills.

What is our environmentally friendly solution to the disposal of old mattresses? Mattress Warehouse has partnered with recycling companies such as Resource Recycling and Recycling Works to deconstruct old mattresses and recycle the materials. These materials, such as metal from box springs and innerspring coils, and cotton from mattress padding, are stripped and sterilized, provided to up-cycling companies, and used to make goods such as dog beds and carpet pads.

On Earth Day 2022, Mattress Warehouse partnered with Ecodrive with the mission to plant 10,000 trees by the end of 2022. Ecodrive plants mangro trees on protected land in Madagascar, protecting the plot from deforestation. Mangrove trees diminish carbon at a rate two to four times greater than mature tropical forests and contain the highest carbon density of all terrestrial ecosystems. They are also a key part of ecosystems by providing shelter to wildlife.

Additionally, Mattress Warehouse has updated the lighting in their corporate office and distribution centers. Mattress Warehouse has vowed to only have the lights on when in use and now uses LED lights with three brightness settings, which will save us an average of 61,681 kilowatt-hour (kWh) per year!

Tempur-Pedic has sourced 100% renewable energy for their US manufacturing operations. In 2021, solar panel technology was installed in Tempur Sealy’s largest mattress manufacturing operation in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In the US, Tempur-Pedic recycled 100% of the Tempur-Pedic products returned to them. This equated to over 2.3 million pounds of foam and over 500,000 pounds of metal being recycled. They are also dedicated to achieving zero-landfill waste for those facilities by the end of 2022.
