That is also what they were thin­king at Green Sleep. So they deve­lo­ped beds with tail­or-made mat­tres­ses, all made from natu­ral mate­ri­als and adapt­ed to your needs. And with their pil­lows, duvets and bed­ding, you’ll sleep like a baby. So you can start the day well rested.

Green Sleep?

The­re is a strong rela­ti­onship bet­ween the bed you are lying on and your sleep qua­li­ty. The lon­ger you are able to sleep unin­ter­rupt­ed­ly, the hig­her your sleep qua­li­ty’, accor­ding to Green Sleep. And that makes per­fect sen­se, of course.

The Bel­gi­an com­pa­ny Green Sleep deve­lo­ps beds with made-to-mea­su­re mat­tres­ses, made from 100% eco­lo­gi­cal mate­ri­als and hand­ma­de in Bel­gi­um. Their bed linen, pil­lows and duvets are also made from natu­ral raw materials.

Ecological?

Green Sleep exclu­si­ve­ly uses 100% orga­nic and sus­tainable raw mate­ri­als for its pro­ducts and moni­tors the qua­li­ty of the­se very strictly.

The core of every Green Sleep mat­tress con­sists of at least 95% hevea natu­ral latex, from small eco-cer­ti­fied farms in Sri Lan­ka and Malay­sia. Hevea natu­re latex, excu­se me? Well, tha­t’s the juice from the latex tree, the Hevea Bras­li­en­sis. And just like res­in from a pine tree, the latex flows from the tree when you cut it. This ​‘milk’ har­dens into an ela­s­tic and water-repel­lent mate­ri­al: natu­ral rub­ber. Greens­leep only uses rub­ber from orga­nic and coope­ra­ti­ve far­ming. So no pesti­ci­des or growth pro­mo­ters. Com­ple­te­ly safe for peo­p­le and pla­net and with the right cer­ti­fi­ca­tes. You can also read about this on the Green Sleep website.

The latex is vul­ca­nis­ed and pro­ces­sed in Malay­sia. After­wards, the blocks are cut into pie­ces in Bel­gi­um and Canada.

But a mat­tress is not just made of rub­ber, of cour­se. The rub­ber core is wrap­ped in a mat­tress cover made of 100% pure Texel wool. Wool reta­ins body heat wit­hout over­hea­ting. The rough Texel sheep pro­vi­de the per­fect raw mate­ri­al for a soft mat­tress. Green Sleep does not use any che­mi­cals to wash, sof­ten or bleach the wool.

By the way, you can opt for a win­ter or sum­mer cover for your mat­tress. The­se covers are made using spe­cial knit­ting tech­ni­ques in GOTS-cer­ti­fied fac­to­ries.

Orga­nic cot­ton is grown on land that has been free of pesti­ci­des or other con­ta­mi­na­ti­on for three years. So, no che­mi­cal sub­s­tances such as chlo­ri­ne or ammo­nia are used in their pro­duc­tion. But also not during washing, spin­ning or blea­ching. Greens­leep does the lat­ter with…oxygen. Oh, and the cot­ton is Oekotex-certified.

Green Slee­p’s wood used for the pro­duc­tion of its beds and bed bases is FSC-cer­ti­fied. No wood from vul­nerable forests or rain­fo­rests, but beech and birch from Slove­nia and France. Envi­ron­men­tal­ly fri­end­ly and pro­ces­sed wit­hout the use of harmful sub­s­tances (such as form­alde­hyde). For each bed base sold, Greens­leep plants a tree in a forest-poor area, as it says on their website.

A nice place to work?

Green Sleep clo­se­ly moni­tors its pro­duc­tion pro­cess: from con­trol­ling the fibres in India to spin­ning in Tur­key, knit­ting in Ger­ma­ny and finis­hing tou­ch­es in Denmark.

The mat­tres­ses and beds are made to mea­su­re in Green Slee­p’s Bel­gi­an work­shop. In good con­di­ti­ons and – like you could read abo­ve – wit­hout che­mi­cals and harmful sub­s­tances that could be dan­ge­rous for humans (GOTS label). This craft­sman­ship ear­ned Green Sleep the Hand­ma­de in Bel­gi­um label, a qua­li­ty label for tra­di­tio­nal Bel­gi­an products.

Green Sleep is in clo­se cont­act with its rub­ber far­mers in Malay­sia and Sri Lan­ka and regu­lar­ly checks working con­di­ti­ons.

Circular?

Abso­lut­e­ly. Becau­se of the qua­li­ty, the pro­ducts of Green Sleep last a very long time. Is your cover bro­ken or dir­ty? You can just remo­ve them and wash them (or have them repaired).

All mat­tres­ses are modu­lar. This means that they can also be adjus­ted when your body chan­ges. Do you need more or less sup­port in your should­ers? The Ergo­dô­me experts will be hap­py to help you. They will look which part of the mat­tress should be replaced.

And is your mat­tress com­ple­te­ly worn out? By sepa­ra­ting all tho­se natu­ral mate­ri­als, the mat­tress can be com­ple­te­ly recy­cled into new raw mate­ri­als.
