Finding a way to dispose of a mattress is no mean feat, especially if you want to get rid of it in a responsible way. The consumer research undertaken by the NBF in July 2023 shows, that of the respondents who were prepared to pay more, 29% said they would pay up to an extra 5%, 38% said they would be prepared to pay between 6-10%, and 19% said they would pay an additional 11-15%.
According to the research, 20% of people disposed of their old mattress at their local tip and less than 7% paid for it to be collected by a mattress recycler. 76% of respondents said that if they knew their old mattress was being “properly” recycled and not sent to landfill, it would influence their route to disposal.
The NBF explained that approximately 4.8 million mattresses end up in either landfills or incineration each year. As a retailer we take our responsibility to act sustainable seriously. Let's look after our environment together and set some sustainable goals.
