3Bedding Industries of America continues to position itself as a leader in sustainable mattress production. The company recently received Greenguard Gold certification for its Natural Dreams mattresses, the second of its lineups to receive such certification. Made with 100% natural latex, using a combination of Dunlop and Talalay latex, Natural Dreams has been tested and scientifically proven to have low chemical emissions—helping to reduce indoor air pollution and the risk of chemical exposure. Though its new partnership with Evertreen, BIA has also committed to planting a tree for every Natural Dreams mattress sold.
4NaturalFoam Pulse from Latexco US is a soft yet durable natural foam with a positive ecological footprint. Sustainably extracted from the Hevea Brasiliensis rubber tree, it is produced using the patented SonoCore process— which significantly reduces energy consumption versus conventional vulcanization processes. Designed to ensure maximum ventilation, this new foam innovation also helps maintain a healthier microclimate throughout the mattress products.
5Cloudtech is a new five-model mattress line created through the partnership between Diamond Mattress and Sit ’n Sleep. Designed by Diamond and unveiled at 37 retail stores in March, the collection quickly exceeded expectations and become an instant top seller in its first 90 days. Cloudtech provides a top-of-the-line sleep experience, with layers of cooling elements delivering optimal thermoregulation and minimizing the heat build-up that can cause tossing and turning. Available in three distinct feels, the Nimbus models include a tri-zoned Technogel cooling gel layer in between graphene memory foam. Technogel’s naturally high thermal conductivity disperses heat away from the body, while the unique grid design further promotes airflow and breathability for a cooler, deeper sleep.
6With its two new foundation models, Reverie is addressing many of the challenges associated with flat foundations—including sourcing inefficiencies, shipping issues and flimsy designs. The Reverie EZ Flex and Reverie EZ Fold foundation meet UPS and FedEx small package requirements, making them well suited for ecommerce or efficient in-home delivery. This also allows both designs to achieve a reduction of 50% in their transportation carbon footprint, when compared to traditional flat foundations. Additionally, these new bases are also highly durable, capable of bearing the same high weight loads that all Reverie adjustable foundations can sustain.
