Nov 11, 2025 - Recycling Fees on the Rise

• According to the BedTimes November 2025 edition, mattress recycling fees will increase in California and Rhode Island in 2026. Rhode Island's $22.50 fee will take effect first on Jan. 1, 2025, followed by California's $18 fee on April 1, 2025. In both states, the increase is a result of higher costs for third-party transportation and operations. All entities selling mattresses and foundations to end users must collect and remit the fee. These include brick-and-mortar retailers, online sellers, and commercial volume sellers (which may include manufacturers). Certain states have enacted mattress recycling laws, and mattress manufacturers must register with the Mattress Recycling Council (MRC) in those states.
• Softening consumer sentiment and confidence in November and October 2025 reflects a growing weakness in discretionary spending, posing challenges for mattress manufacturers. The University of Michigan’s Index of Consumer Sentiment dropped 6.2% month-over-month in November's preliminary results to 50.3, a 29.9% year-over-year decline. The Current Economic Conditions Index fell to 52.3, and the Expectations Index to 49, down 36.3% annually. Year-ahead inflation expectations rose to 4.7%, while long-run expectations declined to 3.6%, with increased uncertainty across both horizons. Meanwhile, the Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index edged down to 94.6 from 95.6 in October, as improved current conditions (Present Situation Index up to 129.3) were offset by weaker short-term expectations (Expectations Index down to 71.5). Inflation expectations rose to 5.9%, and over half of consumers anticipated higher interest rates. Holiday spending is projected to fall, with promotions driving purchasing decisions.
