By recycling your old mattress, you are converting it from waste into new, useful products. A program that orchestrates mattress recycling in several states is the ByeByeMattress program. We work with this program with the goal to collect and deconstruct old mattresses and box springs to later repurpose them, versus the alternative – incinerating them as waste products. The ByeByeMattress initiative is overseen by the Mattress Recycling Council® (MRC), the consumer-facing identity for a nonprofit organization responsible for collecting and recycling discarded mattresses and box springs in various states through statewide collection and recycling networks. The program operates and is administered through funding via visible costs to consumers - in Connecticut, for example, a Recycling Fee set by the state is $9.00 - and other purchasers of products sold in the state. This fee is specific to each state’s recycling program, and ultimately funds the ByeByeMattress operation.
As you can see, BedInABox® is the future of the bedding industry. Our mattresses are made with care, and are designed to respond intelligently to both the environment and the people sleeping on them. We try to do our part by considering our environmental impact and being conscious about the nature of our materials, both in production and disposal. Now it’s time to do your part by investing in affordable, more sustainable sleep with our Eco-Lux®. Not only is the Eco-Lux® produced responsibly with renewable, plant-derived ingredients, but is also worth the value of a newly planted tree. Now that you know the many benefits of our Eco-Lux® mattress, you can make an informed and environmentally conscious decision by purchasing one today.

For the Greenest Experience, Recycle Your Current Mattress
By recycling your old mattress, you may turn it from waste into new, valuable goods. Programs for recycling mattresses are usually financed by simple fees charged to consumers and other purchasers of products supplied in the state. For instance, Connecticut charges $9.00 for recycling, a cost that goes toward funding these recycling programs.
Mattress Recycling Council® (MRC): A nonprofit organization called the Mattress Recycling Council® (MRC) oversees statewide networks for the collection and recycling of old mattresses and box springs. The MRC makes sure that used mattresses are recycled rather than burned, encouraging environmentally friendly waste management practices in several states.
One recycling partner of the MRC is Bye Bye Mattress. The goal of the Bye Bye Mattress is to recycle mattresses and box springs rather than burn them, coordinating recycling efforts across several states. Effectively funded by consumer fees, such as Connecticut's $9.00 recycling fee, the Mattress Recycling Council® (MRC) oversees the operation of the state's collection and recycling networks.
