The sustainability
Upcycling for new purchase
Your old mattress becomes a new product
When you buy a WELTBETT® mattress again at the end of the life cycle of your current WELTBETT® mattress, we will pick up the old WELTBETT® mattress upon delivery of the new one at no additional cost to you. We crush the old core with a flake mill, the flakes are steam-sterilized - and will be used as a new product for many more years of a new life. The WELTBETT® mattress thus leaves the smallest possible ecological footprint. Although we do not expect the first returns until 2024, we have already developed the corresponding products and processes today. Already from spring 2021, you can help to improve the ecological footprint by purchasing such a product made of recycled mattress cores.
More about upcyclingEasy to recycle.
The cover & packaging are designed to be easily disassembled into their components.
It is important to us that a product can be disassembled into its components very easily, so that they can be disposed of or recycled easily.
With two zippers the cover can be divided again. Your advantage: Easy product care.
Our packaging is made of cardboard with a high recycled content, manufactured without colored lacquers, and wood from "well managed forests" of the Forest Stewardship Society FSC. We also try to avoid the plastic foil inside without losing its moisture protection. We don't have a solution yet, but we are on it.
More about the coverTested for harmful substances
100% human-ecologically harmless.
This is certified with Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, Appendix 4. Unlike other manufacturers, we at WELTBETT® make sure that we have Oeko-Tex® certification not only for the cover including all individual parts, but also for the foam and all fillings.
The Hohenstein Institute has certified our fabrics as "skin and allergy friendly". Since September 2019, Institut Hohenstein has no longer awarded this label, but we continue to adhere to the underlying standards.
This means that there are no human ecologically questionable substances emitted. Even without laundry directly after purchase, you can lie down on our products immediately after delivery and go to sleep.
