Environmental Impact
Kids needs beds, landfills don’t.
Since its inception in 2010, Sleepyhead Beds has redistributed over 1,000 tons of beds. That’s almost 1 million cubic feet of mattresses that we’ve kept out of landfills – enough to completely fill 5 Good Year Blimps, 11 Olympic swimming pools, and over 5 times as heavy as the Space Shuttle!
