How TFRGroup Rejuvenates Returned Mattresses: Giving Quality a Second Life

By TFRG Team

At TFRGroup, we believe in second chances -especially when it comes to mattresses. Every returned mattress presents an opportunity to restore value, reduce waste, and support our retail partners with top-tier refurbished products that meet the highest standards.

Join us as we walk you through our comprehensive mattress rejuvenation process.

Step 1: Receiving & Registration

Our journey begins in the receiving area, where returned mattresses arrive from retailers. Each item is logged into our system and identified based on client-specific requirements. This careful documentation is key to ensuring traceability and maintaining full chain of custody throughout the entire rejuvenation process.

Step 2: Detailed Inspection & Sorting

Next, our trained technicians conduct a thorough 22-point inspection, checking everything from structural integrity to surface condition. Using digital checklists and modern tools, we ensure no detail goes unnoticed. Only mattresses meeting our strict criteria move on to the next phase.

Step 3: Industry-Leading Sanitisation

Cleanliness is non-negotiable. Mattress cores that pass performance and QC checks go through our bespoke sanitisation process, which includes:

  • Peracetic acid fogging

  • UV sterilisation technology

These advanced methods achieve 100% surface cleanliness, fully aligning with NHS hygiene standards.

We batch swab test before and after the sanitisation process, ensuring each mattress is fully sanitised to approved standards.

Step 4: Compliance with Cleanliness Standards

Every rejuvenated mattress is brought up to the BS1425:1991 cleanliness standard, ensuring they are safe, sanitary, and ready for reuse. Our processes are designed to not only restore physical quality but also to safeguard your brand’s reputation with consistent excellence.

Step 5: Final Quality Assurance

Before any mattress is cleared for resale, it undergoes one final inspection from our dedicated Quality Assurance team. This check confirms that the product meets our as-new standards, guaranteeing peace of mind for retailers and consumers alike.

Step 6: Protective Repackaging & Clear Labelling

Once approved, each mattress is:

  • Sealed in a protective cover

  • Clearly marked with a “Rejuvenated” sticker

This labeling system helps retailers and customers easily identify our certified refurbished products on the sales floor.

Step 7: Ready for Resale

Rejuvenated mattresses are dispatched back to retailers, ready to be sold with confidence. These products offer exceptional value, giving customers access to high-quality sleep solutions at a fraction of the cost—without compromising on quality or cleanliness.
