Materials like wood, metal, foam, and fabric make about 85 percent of each mattress and box spring recyclable, the DEP said. New products can be made from the recycled materials, including carpet padding, particle board, and industrial filters.

Yee traveled alone, hoping that no one could read the desperation in his face. Other migrants form into aggregate groups, like caravans. In this, they unconsciously mimic the evolutionary reasoning that drives prey animals ranging from fish to wildebeests to congregate into schools and herds: There’s safety in numbers.

"If you’re buying a mattress for a three or four-year-old, you need to consider how long they will be in it for," says Williams. "You should plan to replace it by the time they are 10 or 11 years old – so don’t simply buy the cheapest option. Look to spend as much as you can comfortably afford and remember that every £100 spent on their mattress works out at less than four pence per night over seven years."

About one quarter can be kept alive or saved from severe brain injury by cooling. Despite this, not all children receive the treatment they need since it must be initiated within six hours of birth. Because the majority of hospitals cannot offer proper cooling, the frail, newborn babies must be immediately transferred; a decision requiring quick actions on the part of a skilled paediatrician. During the transfer, the child is often placed in a normal transport incubator.

Although the rebranding of sleep as wellness wasn’t caused by the mattress boom (and its subsequent sleep economy), the timing worked out impeccably. In turn, the sleepy industry that digital mattress brands helped awaken assisted in making what could have been a fringe concept go national. People are always willing to spend on things that are “better” for them. As these mattress companies made it easier to buy into sleep with the click of a button, shoppers became more prone to spending on sleep accessories — especially when national icons like Huffington and Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg sang the gospel of its wellness benefits.

"That is important because it has been linked to falling asleep quicker," Todd said. "But you want to stay cool, and some of the ways that provide an instant cool don’t last throughout the night. We’ve been doing a lot of work on that."
