Short answer
A more sustainable mattress starts with materials buyers can verify: natural fibers, certified textiles and foam, recycled fabrics and components that can be reprocessed. BRN Sleep Products works with natural latex, wool, organic cotton, bamboo, linen and coconut fiber, FSC®-certified materials, SEAQUAL® fabrics made from recycled plastic and steel springs that can be reprocessed.
Many retail buyers in Europe ask what a mattress is made of and what happens to it at the end of its life. For a private-label brand, the answer has to be specific and verifiable. These are the materials and certificates BRN works with.
Natural fibers and latex
- Natural latex
- Wool
- Organic cotton
- Bamboo
- Linen
- Coconut fiber
Recycled fabrics: SEAQUAL®
SEAQUAL® fabrics are made from recycled plastic. BRN offers them in its collections, giving brands a recycled-content option they can communicate on the product.
Certified textiles, foam and wood
- OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 (14.HTR.42882, Hohenstein) for textile components
- CertiPUR as the foam standard
- FSC® (C178848) for wood-based materials
End of life
Steel springs can be reprocessed. BRN also makes Airwave, a recyclable mattress with a washable, breathable cover, made without the springs, foam or latex used in conventional mattresses.
Fewer containers for the same order
Roll-pack cuts shipping volume by up to 75%, so the same number of mattresses needs fewer containers. See what a roll-pack mattress is.

BRN holds ISO 14001:2015 for environmental management, alongside ISO 9001:2015, ISO 45001:2018 and ISO 10002:2018. Read our certification guide.
How to check a sustainability claim
