Sustainability has been a hot topic for many years now and more people are becoming aware of the importance of making conscious choices. One might choose to eat less meat and others switch to solar panels, but what if we tell you that there’s a very easy way to become more sustainable? If your current bedding is at the end of its lifespan, you can make the eco-conscious decision to switch to sustainable bedding. You might be wondering how bedding can be sustainable and where it comes from. We will answer all your questions around sustainable bedding!

What is sustainable bedding?

Whether bedding is sustainable, will depend on many different factors. What material is used, what the filling is made of but also what the production process looks like. To ensure an eco-friendly process from beginning to end, alot of our bedding is produced in eco-factories, by using sustainable materials and ensuring that the production process has zero waste. Once the bedding arrives at your house, it is packed in 100% recyclable, and most of the time even reusable packaging. That way, we minimise the waste we’re producing while you can enjoy your new, sustainable and very comfortable bedding.

What is sustainable bedding made of?

All of the bedding in this collection has been made with eco-conscious materials. We use advanced fibres in our bedding to achieve the same thermal efficiency as a premium down duvet in the equivalent tog. In the bedding, we use a blend of very fine polyester, which traps more air than normal polyester. It’s 25% lighter than a normal bedding filling, which means that we’re automatically using 25% less material than other bedding. This contributes to a lower carbon footprint. In fact, the Revolutionary Eco Duvet has a 44% lower carbon footprint than a normal duvet, which is a big improvement. Besides the usage of sustainable materials, we create products that will last you a long time if you take care of them well. Durability is also an important factor when talking about sustainability, so it’s important to choose products that have a high quality and will last a long time.

Sustainably Made in Britain                                                                                         

We all know that buying British rather than looking overseas can boost the economy, safeguard jobs and generate growth in employment. We will always support British manufacturing through and through the quality of the products is incomparable and the effect it has on the environment is a plus. Cutting down on transportation will cut down on fossil fuel burning. More than 50% of the products we sell are sourced in the UK. Call us biased, but most of which is from the North. Bed linen is our heritage, and some of the very best is made right here on our doorstep. Manufacturers in the West – particularly those from Britain – have a very strict approach to quality, stemming from their heritage and generational skill base. British firms can draw on a resource of people who have very good eyes for detail and can finish products to a higher standard than would be seen from the Far East, so the customer can expect to receive a superior product.

Eco Factory in Estonia

As previously mentioned, sustainable bedding goes further than using eco-friendly materials. The production process might even be the most important factor when it comes to sustainability. In many cases, a lot of fibres and other materials will go to waste during a production process, leaving a higher carbon footprint than you’d like to. The usage of machines, electricity, paper and plastic can also impact the environment negatively. One factory is based in Estonia, to minimise the distance that products have to travel. As sustainability is a high priority, they are using 100% renewable energy and have achieved zero waste from 2017.
