Our Mission

Environmental Impact
Kids needs beds, landfills don’t.
Since its inception in 2010, Sleepyhead Beds has repurposed almost 900,000 pounds 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!
Learn more about the negative impact discarded mattresses have on the environment, and how you can help.
How to Help
The work done by Sleepyhead Beds is paid for through pickup fees, fundraising events, grants, sponsorships, and individual donations. We could not do this work without the support of the community! Please consider helping us in one of the following ways!
