As my castle contains 84 bedrooms, I tend to just circulate the rooms I sleep in.

Thank you for your replies 🙂 The reason I ask is that I was shocked to discover that a huge number of mattresses end up in landfill every year.

In the UK a staggering 7 MILLION ended up there in 2017. In Scotland alone a stack 112 times higher than Ben Nevis were thrown away in one year!

Surprisingly it’s all down to a BOOM in the sleep economy with a rise in online sales of mattresses, some with a 100 day trial! The ones returned are sent straight to landfill by the sellers.

I’m shocked by it. I hate the way people keep replacing household items because they fancy something new. I’ve had my 2 sofas for 20 years. I bought classic styles and the company can replace the seat cushions and covers. I also used a sheet of MDF to firm up the seat base.

Mattress myth 1 – Replace your mattress every 8 years
The Better Sleep Council recommends replacing your mattress every 7-10 years, depending on comfort and support. The truth is that the life of a mattress varies wildly, which depends on how you take care of it, how you sleep on it and how often you rotate it.Aug 10, 2019

If you buy a topper with a washable cover and a very firm mattress it will last much longer.

I tried out a memory foam topper at a recent dog sit. Very comfortable and cosy and the French bulldog loves it too.
