Leading Bay Area mattress store Ergo Sleep Systems announced its newest assortment of organic sleep products for the 2011 spring season: the Linen Experience, Bamboo Chic and BioCotton Caresse mattresses by Magniflex. Each model offers Magniflex's latest temperature regulating and anti-allergen fabrics and certified for environmental safety by Oeko Tex and the Global Organic Textiles Standard (GOTS).
“Consumer interest has been quite strong in eco-friendly bedding options, which is why we are very pleased to offer the newest organic mattress series from Magniflex out of Tuscany,” said Ergo Sleep Systems co-owner Leonard Laxamana.
“Tuscany is a source of excellent raw materials, expert craftsmanship and the environment which produces mattresses with reduced energy consumption and pollution. These Made-in-Italy mattresses go the extra mile as they have been designed with both humans and the environment in mind, while providing our customers with a very high quality of rest and well-being.”
Linen Experience is an orthopedic mattress whose Ecogreen soy-based memory foam structure supports the body in seven different zones. It features a brand new, soft and durable certified-organic linen fabric in the covering. Magniflex's exclusive linen comes from flax, a rapidly renewable plant which requires little fertilization, and the fabric is exceptionally soft and absorbent. The linen is quilted to a temperature neutral aloe-based memory foam layer.
The Bamboo Chic mattress is ideal for addressing a wide range of sleeping problems, such as excess night perspiration or backaches aggravated by poor sleeping posture. The removable cover, made with 50-percent organic bamboo and 50-percent organic cotton, is anti-allergen and highly breathable. The addition of a 3D fabric band around the equator of the mattress helps air to circulate through the mattress and lends thermo-regulating benefits.
The BioCotton Caresse mattress is a 10-inch mattress with a 100-percent organic cotton cover quilted to a thick layer of soy-based foam. Anatomical and ergonomic, the mattress positions the body to a healthier and more comfortable rest. Therapeutic properties from Aloe Vera, essential oils and rich soy proteins, are encased in a fresh and hygienic organic cotton cover which is removable and easy to wash.
Magniflex mattresses are vacuum-rolled and shipped directly to consumers' homes for one low, flat rate. The company holds the original patent on the vacuum-packing system that shrinks and rolls the mattress to a tenth of its size, enabling one-person delivery and setup. Besides saving money during the shipping process, vacuum-packing significantly lowers the product's overall carbon footprint.
Magniflex was also the first company in the world to have mattresses certified by Oeko-Tex to guarantee absence of allergenic substances harmful to consumers and to the environment.
Magniflex was founded over 50 years ago in a suburb of Florence, Italy, and today more than 30 million people in 76 countries sleep on Magniflex mattresses. Known as a world leader in quality, comfort and innovation, Magniflex has a central manufacturing facility producing up to 10,000 mattresses a day, 80-percent of which are exported to countries such as Japan, Spain, Germany, Russia and the United States.
