My Green Mattress receives Organic Factory Certification

The family-owned artisanal workshop of the mattress factory handcrafts its mattresses from sustainable, biodegradable and recyclable materials including carbon-neutral, GOLS certified organic Dunlop latex made from the sap of rubber trees and GOTS certified organic wool. Other criteria the factory meets to be certified organic include maintaining top standard cleanliness, operating state-of-the-art machinery and ensuring a safe and educated work environment. The company packages and ships all products in recycled cardboard boxes and consciously emails receipts and other order information in an effort to reduce paper waste.

"When it comes to quality sleep products, there is no room for subpar materials or design," said owner and master craftsman Tim Masters. "It has been my life's work to reinvent sleep products and source the best, organic, all-natural materials like coconut, fibre, latex and wool to innovate and enhance the products on which people spend one third of their lives. This certification is a major testament to the dedication of our employees and to the sustainable processes used in our workshop."

In conjunction with the organic factory certification, My Green Mattress has announced two new products designed for deeper, healthier sleep: the Organic Dunlop Latex pillow and the Kiwi mattress. The Kiwi mattress is ideal for children's beds as it is non-toxic, double-sided, flippable for extended life, and hypoallergenic. The Kiwi also comes in a lower profile size designed to fit bunk bed safety requirements.

In 2007, Quality Sleep Shop's owner, Tim Masters, launched and all-natural, organic line of mattresses called My Green Mattress when his daughter Emily was diagnosed with eczema and allergies. Masters created a hypoallergenic crib mattress for her and soon after developed a website where customers across the country can purchase safe, healthy and affordable mattresses for the entire family.
