摘要

Most everyone reading this likely woke up this morning on a bed with a mattress and box spring. These two items are among the most ubiquitous and necessary of purchases, ranging somewhere between 35 million to 40 million units sold annually in the U.S. The items are bought by households as well as many businesses and institutions such as colleges and universities, hotels and hospitals. Yet there is scant data on how many of these units are replacement purchases and what happens to the products they replace. While some discarded mattresses may be reused or refurbished, most are simply disposed in landfills or waste-to-energy facilities. The International Sleep Products Association (ISPA) estimates this disposal rate is equal to about 50 percent of new-unit sales, which works out to be about 50,000 units per day.
