sleep manufacturer
Glideaway® Sleep Products announced
that their sleepharmony® memory foam mattress line has
earned the CertiPUR-US® certification seal. The company
sought certification in response to consumers seeking
clearer guidance when shopping for environmentally
friendly mattresses. The sleepharmony Bliss, Classic,
Renew, Serenity, and Tranquility mattresses will all
feature CertiPUR-US approved flexible polyurethane foam
materials.
“As more and
more consumers become environmentally
conscious, the materials used in the
products they buy become equally as
important,” said Glideaway Executive Vice
President of Sales Ron Fredman. “By seeing
the CertiPUR-US seal on Glideaway
mattresses, environmentally conscious
consumers can feel confident knowing that
some of the components used to make the
sleepharmony collections are not only
comfortable but have also passed strict
environmental, health and safety standards.”
The CertiPUR-US
program is a voluntary testing, analysis and
certification program that was developed by
members of the global foam industry in
response to an increase in substandard
imported foams. Items that carry the
CertiPUR-US seal contain flexible
polyurethane foam products that have been
tested and certified by an independent
laboratory to be sure they meet the strict
standards of the CertiPUR-US program for
physical performance, indoor emissions and
environmental stewardship.
Mattresses that
carry the CertiPUR-US seal may be marketed
as providing low emission (VOC’s) for indoor
air quality and made without ozone depleting
CFCs, PBDE fire retardant, formaldehyde,
prohibited phthalates, mercury, lead and
heavy metals.
