A common kerb-side sight, mattresses and household textiles are mega enviro malefactors. Don’t sleep on it. Once you’ve made the decision to discard a mattress and/or bed linen, pass it onto peeps who’ll find uses of the materials you could only dream of.

Throw your towels in and your sheet tons of doona covers, pillow cases, flat and fitted sheets at recycle points at a Sheriden boutique or outlet store. The textiles will get recycled into fibres and yarns and repurposed into new products.
Soft Landing is a social enterprise that recovers mattress components to create mulch, metal roofing and carpet underlay. Sleep soundly knowing that not only is your end-of-life mattress finding new-life, but that it is also providing work to those facing barriers to employment.
Don’t let your unwanted bed sheets, blankets and fabric mattress protectors get you down. Gather, box and send ‘em off to award winning Upparel.
