Phase II of a summer mattress replacement plan started in June of 2009 on floors 9-16 finished up with all mattresses on Christiana West floors 1-8 being replaced. The Tower was already occupied with summer groups so the replacement involved first removing the old mattresses in the morning, and then replacing the new mattresses prior to the end of the day so that residents would have a bed to sleep on that night. All of the old mattresses were taken away by Ohio Mattress Recovery, a firm that specializes in recycling old mattresses into pet beds and other alternative uses. Our life cycle for mattresses are approximately 10 years as these mattresses were initially installed in 1999. Next summer we will return to Christiana Complex to replace mattresses in half of the East Tower and then the other half in the summer of 2012.
