Sleep in luxury with a clear conscience

With so much focus on the critical need to reduce humans’ impact on our planet, increased attention is being paid to reusing and recycling what we make. It is resulting in greater technological advances than were previously thought possible.

One advance is in the field of plastic recycling, where plastic waste is being transformed into various fabrics and forms of astonishing quality.

This ingenuity is evident in the new Ecolux range of luxury beds from Slumberland. Made virtually entirely from renewable natural resources and recycled plastics, the results are often better and more luxurious than traditional materials.

From the moment your body touches the mattress, you are enjoying the sensation of a luxurious knit fabric made from reformulated yarn, sourced from recycled PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate ) bottles. We add an anti-microbial treatment to promote hygienic sleep and long-lasting protection against dust mites and odours. The mattress itself is stuffed with recycled PET eco-fill, ensuring a luxurious firmness.

Below that, we use 3D Mesh fibre columns, which help to regulate temperature and prevent heat build-up. We use Pulse latex, an energy-saving latex, which is a material that uses 7.5 times less energy to manufacture than Talalay (softer) latex. We’ve also used discarded steel to create a highly advanced spring system with individually cased coils that ensure that there is minimal disturbance to you when your bedpartner moves.

This is all supported on a polyester eco-insulator pad made from recycled PET that ensures you don’t feel the metal spring system. The base of the bed is sustainable wood, harvested from forests that bear the FSC and SABS stamps of approval – and even the feet are made from recycled PET bottles.

All eleven luxury features in an Ecolux bed contribute to the sustainability of our planet, whether it’s by recycling plastic bottles, melting and reusing steel and metal, buying only wood grown in sustainable forests, or using renewable energy.

But perhaps the most remarkable thing about Ecolux is not that it is pioneering eco-friendliness – it is that it delivers the same exceptional comfort and luxury as the rest of the Slumberland range. Some might even suggest that, because you can sleep with a clearer conscience on an Ecolux bed, it’s even better. But we’ll leave that for you to decide.
