March and April are the seasons when preparations for a 'new life'—such as starting school, finding employment, or transferring jobs—get fully underway. Taking advantage of moving, there is a rapid increase in people who buy new bedding to get a fresh start and seek high-quality sleep. MoonMoon Inc., which operates the sleep goods introduction site 'Kaimin Land', conducted a 'Survey on the Disposal and Replacement of Mattresses' targeting 200 men and women nationwide who have experience replacing their mattresses. As a result of the survey, it became clear that while 'physical carrying out' is the greatest burden during disposal, 93% of those who actually replaced their mattresses answered that they were 'glad they replaced it.' This revealed the reality that 'updating bedding' to start a new life in the best condition is directly linked to the quality of life.
Survey Background
During the spring moving season, disposing of a large piece of furniture like a mattress is a problem that bothers many people. Anxieties such as 'I don't know how to throw it away' or 'It's too heavy to carry' often lead to cases where people continue to use a mattress past its lifespan. In order to achieve the 'good sleep' essential for starting a new life, the key is how smoothly one can send off the old mattress and prepare a new environment. This survey aims to visualize the realistic disposal methods, costs, and satisfaction levels of those with experience, thereby encouraging those who are hesitating to buy a new mattress for their new life and looking for hints in service design.
Survey Summary
- The mainstream method of disposal is 'municipal oversized garbage' (54.0%). Surprisingly cheap, with about 70% costing 'less than 1,000 yen'.
- The biggest worry is 'physical weight.' 21.3% answered that it was 'too heavy to carry out,' making removal the highest hurdle.
- Expectations for 'take-back services.' Over 60% said there was 'no service at the time of purchase,' yet over 80% answered 'I want to use it next time.'
- Satisfaction after replacement is 93%. People realized the benefits of a good night's sleep that outweigh the hardship of disposal.
