A crib mattress—it's something we bring into our homes when a new life is on the way, only to throw it out a couple of years later when they are no longer of use.

And we do mean “throw out,” as the vast majority of crib mattresses are non-recyclable.

Even throwing them away can prove difficult as many municipal waste services ban mattresses or any kind from dumpster disposal, forcing you to travel to the dump or wait for your city’s limited annual pick-up window to dispose of your crib mattress.

The average adult mattress is used for many years if not decades, but crib mattresses represent a special niche of short-use/high-waste products that have become a necessity for new families.

Priced anywhere from $30 to $300 dollars depending on quality, and with a useful life of only two to three years, crib mattresses are a necessary evil that could easily be considered a poor investment and really only result in bulky waste once they are no longer needed.

Well frankly, this bothered us at Molly Mutt! So we did something about it…
