LOS
ANGELES, June 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Avocado
Green Mattress, the leader in organic mattresses, is proud to
announce that the Avocado Green Mattress, Eco Organic
Mattress, and Eco Organic Kids Mattress have earned the highly
esteemed OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification.
The OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 is a globally
recognized, independent testing and certification system for raw,
semi-finished, and finished textile products at all processing
levels, as well as accessory materials used. For a finished
innerspring mattress to be OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100
certified, every component, from the outer fabric to the threads,
foams, and other accessories, must be tested and found safe from
more than 1,000 substances known to be detrimental to human
health.
Unlike some brands that only certify select components of
their mattresses, Avocado Green Mattress has achieved STANDARD 100
certification for the finished innerspring mattress — and is the
first in the United States to do
so. This comprehensive certification means that every part
of the Avocado Green Mattress, Eco Organic Mattress, and Eco
Organic Kids Mattress, from the outer fabric to the pocketed
innersprings, is tested for harmful substances and found to be
within safe limits.
"Mattresses can contain harmful materials, adhesives, and flame
retardants. Given the intimate and prolonged exposure we have to
our mattresses, it is crucial to consider their potential impact on
health," notes Mark Abrials, Chief Marketing &
Sustainability Officer of Avocado Green Mattress. "The
OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification ensures that every
material and component is safe from harmful chemicals, providing
peace of mind for customers. We are thrilled to offer another
robust certification for these three top-selling mattresses."
Notably, it is important that customers verify that the
OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 labels on products are valid and
cover the entire product. Customers can do so by using
the OEKO® Label Check or by scanning the QR code on
the STANDARD 100 label. This ensures that the certification is
valid and allows individuals to review the scope and covered
articles to validate the manufacturer's claims. Our STANDARD 100
label is 24.HUS.86422 Hohenstein HTTI.
"Earning the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification for
an entire mattress is a rigorous process," notes Ben Mead, Managing Director at Hohenstein.
"Avocado Green Mattress has demonstrated an unwavering commitment
to safety by ensuring that every component of its mattresses meets
the highest standard. This certification is a testament to their
dedication to providing consumers with products that are safe for
their health."
As Avocado Green Mattress looks to the future, the company
remains dedicated to not only being the best in the world but also
the best for the world. The company's efforts to combat climate
change, enhance social equity, and promote sustainable practices
are more than just part of its business model; they are a call to
action for businesses and individuals alike to contribute to a more
sustainable and equitable world.
