Rainforest Alliance and Forest Stewardship Council

Products with the FSC label contribute to the mission of ensuring thriving forests for all, with materials from responsibly managed, FSC-certified forests. Together with The Rainforest Alliance certification, this ensures that our latex mattress cores were produced with methods supporting three pillars of sustainability: social, economic, and environmental. Independent, third-party auditors evaluate farmers in all three areas before awarding certification. Standards focus on considerations for forests, climate, and human rights, including livelihoods.
