Why Eco-Friendly Mattress Covers Are Revolutionizing Sleep in 2025
The Mattress Waste Crisis: How Your Bed Impacts the Planet
Every 3 seconds, a mattress enters U.S. landfills—equivalent to 400 Statues of Liberty in annual waste volume (EPA). Traditional mattress protectors worsen this crisis:
Polyester Pollution: 65% of conventional covers shed microplastics
Chemical Exposure: 83% contain PFAS linked to health risks (EWG Research)
Short Lifespan: Average protector replaced every 11 months
Sustainable Solution: The Ivytress Replace & Restore Series extends mattress lifespan by 5-8 years through patented encasement technology.
