Are you tired of sleeping on a lumpy, sagging mattress—but not ready to spend $1,000+ on a new one? You’re not alone. Many people struggle with aging mattresses that disrupt their sleep and strain their budgets. Fortunately, there’s a smarter, greener alternative: Ivytress, the revolutionary mattress encasement that lets you refurbish your old mattress—without replacing it.
In this guide, you’ll discover how Ivytress helps you: ✅ Save hundreds of dollars
✅ Reduce landfill waste
✅ Customize your sleep experience
✅ Prolong your mattress’s lifespan
Let’s dive into how this innovative system works and how you can transform your bed in just one afternoon.
Section 1: Why Throwing Away a Mattress Is a Problem
The Hidden Costs of Replacement
Buying a new mattress may seem like the obvious solution to sagging or discomfort—but it’s also one of the most expensive and wasteful.
💸 Cost: Most quality mattresses cost between $800 and $2,500.
🛏️ Short Lifespan: Even high-end beds begin to sag in 5–8 years.
🗑️ Environmental Impact: Over 20 million mattresses are thrown away each year in the U.S. alone.
Now consider this: Most of these mattresses still have perfectly usable spring or foam support cores. What fails first is often the outer comfort layer or fabric. That’s where Ivytress comes in.
Section 2: What Makes Ivytress Different?
It’s Not Just a Cover—It’s a Total Mattress Makeover
Unlike traditional mattress protectors or toppers, Ivytress is a zippered, washable, and customizable full mattress encasement that replaces your mattress’s outer layer. It allows you to salvage the supportive core of your bed and rebuild the rest.
Ivytress System Includes:
360° Zippered Encasement – Wraps your mattress fully, sealing out dust, allergens, and bed bugs.
Replaceable Comfort Layers – Add plush, medium, or firm inserts based on your preference.
Customizable Toppers – Choose memory foam, cooling gel, or organic cotton.

Section 3: Step-by-Step – How to Refurbish Your Mattress with Ivytress
Step 1: Remove the Old Fabric and Padding (30 minutes)
Strip your mattress down to the core (usually foam or springs). Use scissors or a seam ripper to carefully remove the top and bottom fabric layers. Discard old foam layers if they’re worn or dirty.
💡 Tip: This process works best on hybrid or spring mattresses with removable covers.
Step 2: Inspect and Clean the Core (15 minutes)
Vacuum the inner core thoroughly. If it’s a spring system, wipe it down with a mild disinfectant. Check for signs of rust, mold, or deep damage. Most mattress cores are still structurally sound even after years of use.

Step 3: Add a New Comfort Layer (10 minutes)
Choose your ideal comfort insert (Ivytress offers Plush, Medium, and Firm). Lay it evenly over the top of the core.
Side sleepers → Plush or Medium
Back sleepers → Medium or Firm
Stomach sleepers → Firm
Step 4: Zip on the Ivytress Encasement (5 minutes)
Slide your mattress core + comfort layer into the Ivytress encasement like a pillow into a case. Zip it shut—done! You’ve just built your custom mattress from the inside out.
