How to properly dispose of your old mattress

One thing is clear: Once you have decided on a new, dreamlike QUQON mattress, you no longer want to know anything about your old mattress. Disposal can be very simple. We’ll tell you how!

Old Mattress Disposal: Sustainability Meets Convenience
There comes a time in the life of every mattress when it has served its purpose. But what happens then to the old sleeping surface? Proper disposal of old mattresses is an essential topic that is of great importance from both environmental and health perspectives. In this article, we explain why professional old mattress disposal is so important and how it is done correctly.

Why Old Mattress Disposal Is So Essential
A mattress is not just a pile of foam or springs. It consists of a variety of materials, including metals, textiles, and different types of plastics. If mattresses are not disposed of properly, these materials can enter the environment and contaminate both soil and water. Furthermore, old mattresses, if stored incorrectly, can become breeding grounds for pests and microorganisms.

The Environmentally Conscious Aspect
Thousands of mattresses are disposed of annually. The amount of waste generated is considerable. But with the right disposal, the ecological footprint of an old mattress can be significantly reduced. Many materials in mattresses are recyclable. This means that if they are properly disposed of and processed, they can be reused and thus do not end up as waste.
