Research work conducted by Sustainable Technologies Initiative (STI), a company based in the UK, shows some very effective alternative ways by which mattress manufacturers can provide for more environment-friendly sleeping solutions.

Mattresses are conventionally made using various synthetic materials that often carry adverse effects to the environment, especially when these are not properly disposed. By pushing the use of natural fibers from recycled wool, cotton and other organic materials, in place of foam padding or synthetic fibers which used to be the common practice, Sustainable Technologies Initiative believes that the move does not only help the environment, it also improves the competitiveness of the industry through lowered manufacturing costs. Further to that, consumers are provided better sleeping alternatives as studies have also indicated that natural products bring bigger and better benefits.

Incidentally, watch for the Keetsa Green Tea Memory Foam mattress which will be sold in our partner site very soon.
