Best Answer

Yes. Flexible Polyurethane Foam, the foam used in furniture, is generally recycled into re-bond padding used as an underlayment for carpeting. Expanded Polystyrene, the foam your cheap beer cooler is made of, is generally recycled into fill for the packaging industry.

Several websites confirm that memory foam and latex foam are completely recyclable --it can be, somehow, broken down and reused as raw material for new products. This seems to be a Win:Win since everybody involved becomes a part of the Solution and stops being part of the Problem.

The truthful answers is: "It's the thickness you are willing to pay for".

The price varies accordingly. Personal Note: If you can't afford a memory foam mattress, try a memory foam pillow. Awesome, especially if you're a "side sleeper".
