We prioritise minimising the environmental impact throughout the entire life cycle of your Holme Valley wool mattress, from manufacture and delivery to ownership and recycling.
Rolled mattresses reduce CO2 emissions
Wool is the green mattress choice
Free of harmful flame retardant chemicals
Sourcing locally for a sustainable future
Recycled materials
Choosing a rolled mattress has many environmental benefits. The compact packaging reduces the need for excess materials – decreasing waste. Delivering a mattress rolled in a box also takes up less space during shipping which means fewer trucks on the roads burning up fuel.
Wool is a renewable and natural fibre so is the obvious choice for both maximum comfort and minimal environmental impact. It literally 'grows' – being sheared from sheep twice annually without any harm. Sheep have a relatively low carbon footprint. They produce less methane, a greenhouse gas. And as they graze, their droppings enrich the soil with nutrients, helping to create to healthier and more fertile land and reducing the need for petrochemical based fertiliser.
Sleep safe and peacefully knowing your Holme Valley wool mattress is free from flame retardant chemicals which are harmful to the planet and people with allergies. Wool is inherently flame-resistant. It has a higher ignition point compared to synthetic materials, removing the need for additional flame retardants. Chemicals which can persistent in the environment and pose risks to delicate ecosystems.
Wool and the other natural materials used in our mattresses are sourced from local Holme Valley farmers. This reduces the carbon footprint of our supply chain and invests in our local community.
As well as totally natural materials like wool, cashmere and horsehair, our mattresses use recycled material both in spring cushion layers and in the boxes used to deliver them. This also means Holme Valley mattresses have an eco-friendly edge even when it's time to say goodbye. Unlike some synthetic mattresses that linger in landfills, wool mattresses are biodegradable. As they naturally break down over time, they leave behind minimal environmental impact.
