Need to recycle your old mattress?
Our sister company, The Mattress Recycling People, can take care of it!
Bensons for Beds, a prominent retailer in the furniture industry, has embarked on a sustainable journey with The Furniture Recycling Group (TFR Group). Through their collaboration, Bensons has not only significantly reduced their carbon footprint but also contributed to a circular economy by recycling and rejuvenating mattresses that would have otherwise ended up in landfill.
Key Statistics:
Bensons for Beds offers its customers a “40 Night Comfort Guarantee” which allows customers to sleep at home with their preferred mattress for 40 nights and then, for a small fee, change to an alternative if their original selection did not meet their needs. It also offers a similar proposition on its EVE mattresses which it sells under the evesleep.co.uk web site. Whilst this offers customers choice, flexibility and piece of mind, it does create a challenge with what to do with mattresses which have been slept on – but still have years of life left on them. TFRGroup’s rejuvenation service is the perfect answer to this problem.
TFRGroup’s rejuvenation service is a groundbreaking process that combines automation, cutting-edge sanitisation technology, and expert oversight. Upon receiving returned mattresses, they undergo rigorous inspection and are sanitized using advanced methods, ensuring 100% cleanliness and compliance with NHS standards. This process not only minimises waste but also taps into a growing market for pre-loved, premium products, catering to eco-conscious consumers.

Mark Freer highlights the journey of Bensons For Beds and TFRGroups partnership, starting with Bensons’ decision to explore sustainable alternatives for mattress disposal. Previously, mattresses were either sent to clearance stores or landfills, incurring losses for Bensons and negatively impacting the environment. However, with the introduction of TFR Group’s mattress rejuvenation services, they could now resell returned mattresses, turning losses into profitable margins, whilst having a positive impact on the environment.
The success of their partnership relies on effective communication and collaboration between both parties. Mark emphasizes the importance of streamlining processes, such as mattress identification and labeling, to optimize efficiency and minimize errors, which TFRGroup wholeheartedly embraced. By aligning their efforts, TFRGroup have transformed mattress recycling and rejuvenation for Bensons for Beds into a seamless and sustainable operation.
Looking ahead, Bensons for Beds aims to further expand their sustainability initiatives, including reducing returns and implementing eco-friendly packaging. They envision a future where zero waste is achieved, aligning with their long-term CSR goals.
