Giving to Singapore & Sumba

Besides making super comfortable mattresses from organic latex and other bedding products from good-for-the-earth sustainable materials, European Bedding also focuses on giving back.

Managing Director STEFAN MAGNUS has a passion for the environment, which initially drove him to source latex from an organically certified plantation. “We wanted our supplier to be carbon neutral certified with a Fairtrade certificate. Now, all of our products have an eco-friendly aspect (organic, carbon neutral, sustainable and FSC certified). But we also looked to see how we could make a difference from a local level. So, when our clients receive a new mattress from us, we encourage them to responsibly recycle their old one.”
