The source
The European Environment Agency’s 2025 textiles briefing describes a transition that combines longer product use, reuse, repair and recycling. It also highlights gaps in the evidence used to measure circularity.
The briefing covers the wider textile value chain. Its findings are context for product design, not test results for mattresses or for Varde Sleep.
Why it matters for sleeping platforms
A sleeping platform is used night after night. Our design questions therefore begin with everyday comfort and care, then move to whether suitable components can remain useful after inspection.
Recycling belongs in that conversation, but it cannot replace a plan for product care and continued use. Varde Sleep is exploring this sequence during development; durability, reuse and recovery outcomes still need to be demonstrated.
