Furthermore, beneath the Natural Care mattress' latex layer is a layer of base foam enhanced with soy. The use of soy reduces the amount of petroleum needed to manufacture the foam and results in a smaller carbon footprint.
Natural Care mattresses also feature a Tencel fabric cover made from wood fibers. This natural knit fabric is constructed with biodegradable yarn and offers exceptional breath ability and comfort.
In addition, the Company's Triton foundation is made from 100 percent sustainable wood, typically sourced from companies who participate in the Sustainable Forestry Initiative, and the metal in the foundation's interior grid includes up to 80 percent recycled steel.
“We conducted a significant amount of research on sustainable and renewable foams and fabrics when designing the Natural Care line and took special care to select materials that
would promote the best possible sleep experience for the consumer, while providing the added benefit of being environmentally friendly,” said Tim Oakhill, Simmons' executive vice president of marketing.
“Today, sustainable living is an option for everyone, and the availability of the Simmons Natural Care line at JCPenney represents our combined efforts to make an ecofriendly mattress available to consumers at a smart price.”
TIPS FOR A GREEN AND HEALTHY BEDROOM:
Because many consumers are interested in “greening” their entire bedroom, not just the mattress, Simmons also worked with Seo on the development of The Green Guide to a Healthier Bedroom to make the eco-friendly decorating process easier.
The Green Guide to a Healthier Bedroom contains Seo's sustainable design tips for virtually every aspect of the bedroom as well as advice for obtaining healthy, rejuvenating sleep. Consumers may download the guide by visiting the Mattress Buying Guide section of natural care bed.
