our values

Changing the mattress industry to benefit the planet

We believe we must replace the current, flawed method of mattress disposal that leaves millions of tons of bulky waste in landfills each year, causes enduring environmental hazards and creates dangerous conditions for landfill workers. We are creating a fully sustainable system for upcycling the 20 million mattresses that are discarded each year.
