The Comfort Group Sustainability Commitments
2010
Soft Landing Mattress Recycling
Since 2010, Soft Landing has been collecting and recycling old mattresses to help divert unnecessary waste from landfill, while recycling essential components to create new products and help create hundreds of jobs along the way. In fact, for every 35 mattresses that are collected and recycled by Soft Landing, they can create a job for someone who needs one. The Comfort Group has been there every step of the way, witnessing this unprecedented growth as a Founding Member and continued Product Stewardship member of the programme.

Internal Training: Learning Edge
Investing in a more equitable future for our diverse workforce, The Comfort Group launched a training program aimed at upskilling factory staff & providing opportunities to study towards formal qualifications. This training gives long-serving staff a chance to learn the core skills that make them future ready and confident to embrace technology improvements we may implement in the future.
2018
Office Waste Reduction
In 2018, The Comfort Group removed all individual workstation bins in an effort to reduce office waste. The bins were replaced by small ‘Friendlypak’ mini desktop bins made from recycled cardboard and reusable plastic liners. Within weeks the landfill created within the office was reduced by up to 90%.
