Eco Friendly Mattress: Nectar Mattresses are eco-friendly. Nectar mattresses use a tencel cover and vegetable-based polyurethane for their memory foam. All certified flexible polyurethane foams are tested and analyzed twice in the first year, and re-certified annually thereafter. We only have one earth out there, and it’s important to Nectar to keep it clean and liveable — not just for us, but for our animal friends too.
Nectar’s Cooling Cover is Made from Tencel
Nectar custom mills their cooling covers from tencel and the highest quality organic long staple cotton that was rainfed and grown with natural fertilizers (never chemicals). Made from a sustainable wood cellulose, which is then turned into a super small fiber that is both breathable and comfy. That makes for a super cool and breathable sleep.And as for Nectar’s cotton, they source only the finest Fair Trade & GOTS certified non-GMO organic cotton that has been hand-picked, loomed, and dyed with low-impact dyes.Is Nectar an eco-friendly mattress?
