Common Questions about Mattress Recycling in Sydney

Most mattresses, including those made with PU foam, latex foam, and standard innerspring coils, can be readily recycled. However, certain materials are more difficult to recycle. Memory foam often lacks a viable recycling market in Australia, and pocket springs reduce the efficiency of steel recovery.  

Soft Landing tip: To maximise recyclability, consider choosing a mattress made from PU or latex foam and standard innerspring coils. 

The time it takes to recycle a mattress varies depending on the type of mattress and materials used. Our Soft Landing team use a manual deconstruction process to carefully separate and recover materials, maximising recyclability. This approach allows us to efficiently recycle all of the mattresses we receive while achieving high recovery rates. 

Our manual deconstruction process allows us to maximise recovery of materials, and we work with numerous recycling partners to ensure these materials are reused, repurposed or recycled.  

While some residual materials may not yet have a recycling market, they can be diverted from landfill via the Waste to Energy process – where non-recyclable waste is converted into usable energy like electricity or heat. As this capability becomes available, we will use it to reduce landfill waste while continuing to explore higher-value recovery methods.
