Why Mattresses
Report
If thrown in machinery, mattresses can destroy compacters due to bulkiness and metal coils. When we first tore a mattress apart, we were surprised by the amount of foam, cotton, felt, wood, and metal that we found. After disassembly, Spring Back's strength is the ability to source each of these materials to their respective buyers, recycling nearly 100% of each mattress.
