Sleepyhead Sustainability Profile

What do our labels mean?

Dedicated to improving sustainability

As a Comfort Group brand, Sleepyhead aims to be a global ethical and environmentally friendly bedding leader by 2030. Respect for people, communities, and the environment guides our practices. We prioritise abolishing modern slavery in supply chains, reducing environmental impact by minimising energy consumption, waste generation, and water usage. We adhere to local laws, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 

We invest in sustainable solutions including innovative technology, equipment upgrades, and eco-friendly materials. This approach minimises our environmental footprint and results in products independently verified as ethical, environmentally friendly, and with minimal health impact. Examples include our Green Ribbon recognised CO2 foam, recycled polyester fiber made from plastic bottles, recycled foam underlays and biodegradable packaging. We partner with organizations like GECA and the Australian Bedding Stewardship Council, and actively participate in mattress recycling programs. As part of our commitment, we launched our first fully recyclable mattress in 2020 and our operations are regularly audited to help us improve our systems and processes, and minimise our environmental impact.

Sleepyhead Sustainability Actions

Soft Landing Mattress Recycling

As a founding partner of the Recycle My Mattress initiative and Soft Landing, Sleepyhead actively works on solutions to improve the environmental and social outcomes of the bedding industry in Australia. We saw an urgent need to help reduce the amount of mattresses that wind up in landfill, especially when the internal components may be recycled to create a wide range of new household products. Soft Landing can recycle up to 75% of internal mattress components, with steel springs becoming roof sheeting, foam becoming carpet underlay, and wood and husk becoming kindling, weed matting, mulch, acoustic paneling, and even animal bedding.

Sensitive Choice Partnership

Sensitive Choice helps millions of consumers worldwide live better with asthma and allergies. The National Asthma Council Australia created the program to help people identify products and services that are asthma and allergy aware, through the trusted blue butterfly.

Australian Bedding Stewardship Council Founding Member

The Australian Bedding Stewardship Council is a for-purpose organisation established in 2020 to deal with the issue of end of life mattresses. Australians dispose of 1.8 million mattresses every year. The bedding industry is working with ABSC to divert these away from landfill, and help to find innovative ways to reuse these materials.
