Midsummer Milano: A Sustainable Solution to the Mattress Landfill Crisis
At Midsummer Milano, we believe that creating handcrafted, high-quality mattresses that last a lifetime is key to addressing the growing mattress landfill crisis. In the United States alone, over 20 million mattresses are discarded each year—a staggering and environmentally damaging figure.
The Problem with Foam Mattresses
Foam mattresses present significant recycling challenges. Their materials deteriorate quickly, losing their orthopedic properties in just a few years. This frequent need for disposal exacerbates the environmental issue, as foam mattresses are typically made from non-renewable resources that do not allow the body to properly breathe or perspire during sleep.
Sustainable, Natural Materials in Midsummer Mattresses
In contrast, Midsummer Milano mattresses are made from natural materials that retain their superior qualities over time. These materials are renewable and easily recycled, drastically reducing the need for frequent disposal. Instead of discarding your mattress, you only need to replace the cover every 15-20 years, making our mattresses a long-term, eco-friendly investment.
By taking the time to handcraft durable mattresses, we ensure that fewer natural resources are used, and our environmental impact is minimized. Choosing a Midsummer mattress means investing in sustainability and luxury comfort that lasts.
