Sustainable Sourcing of Raw Materials

Sustainability begins with the careful selection of raw materials. Each mattress contains 100% of natural latex, derived from the renewable source of the tropical rubber tree (Hevea Brasiliensis). These rubber trees, found across the globe, play a crucial role in neutralising over 90 million tons of CO2 annually, demonstrating our commitment to environmentally responsible sourcing.

100% Natural Latex

Efficient Energy Management

Over the past eight years, we have significantly reduced our energy consumption by nearly 50% through strategic investments in cutting-edge technologies and ongoing efforts to optimize energy usage. Furthermore, our commitment to sustainability is evident in the extensive installation of solar panels, harnessing clean, renewable energy sources. The remaining electricity we require is sourced from 100% certified green energy providers, further reducing our carbon footprint.

Revolutionary Wastewater Recycling

Our substantial investments in wastewater recycling technology have yielded remarkable results. Our supplier employs an innovative, award-winning technique that thoroughly purifies our wastewater, making it suitable for reuse within our closed-loop water circuit. This approach not only conserves water resources but also minimises the environmental impact of our operations.

This initiative allows us to recycle a staggering 4,000 tons of waste annually, demonstrating our commitment to minimising waste and promoting a circular economy.
