Green Dreams

As Britain's leading Bed Specialist, we have taken the lead on demonstrating World Class corporate social responsibility with a multi million pound investment, in a brand new bed recycling facility at our distribution hub in the West Midlands.

As part of our on going recycling programme, we have acquired two state-of-the-art bed shredders. These unique machines, manufactured in Germany, are the first in the UK. They were commissioned by us specifically to crush and shred beds and mattresses into seperate the constituent parts, so that they can all go to be recycled.

Our first venture into this area dates back as far as 1995, when we introduced a unique old bed and mattress collection and recycling service. In the last year alone, we have collected and recycled over a staggering 24,000 beds and mattresses.

The bed frames, springs and other metallic items are melted down and re-used in the manufacturing of new products. The wooden bed frames are turned into mulch for multiple uses including; chipboard manufacture, landscaping, children's play areas and many more. The cardboard and paper in turn is converted into new cardboard or paper, the polythene is reconstituted to create new polythene or plastic products and fabric cut offs are used to make building insulation materials.
