Certifications & Tests
Learn more about the certifications of Savvy Rest’s natural and organic materials.
Savvy Rest and our three production facilities have all been inspected and certified to the rigorous Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS).
Savvy Rest has achieved GREENGUARD GOLD Certification for our organic mattresses, pillows, and mattress toppers. GREENGUARD-Certified products must meet stringent standards for low chemical emissions into indoor air. GOLD-level certification includes additional requirements for vulnerable populations, such as children and the elderly.
Respected by manufacturers and agencies worldwide, Germany’s Eco Institut is an independent materials testing laboratory. Both our latex suppliers (Dunlop and Talalay) have achieved Eco Institut certification for the purity of their natural latex and coir for bed rugs.
Radium Foam, our natural Talalay latex supplier, works with the Environmental Protection Encouragement Agency (EPEA) to achieve eco-efficacy with the Cradle-to-Cradle philosophy, which evaluates products according to health impact, materials re-use, renewable energy, water stewardship, and social fairness. Our natural Talalay has achieved Cradle-to-Cradle GOLD certification.
Our furniture is made with sustainably-harvested and regionally-sourced maple and poplar wood certified by Appalachian Hardwood Manufacturers, Inc. We take great pride in using natural materials and value the importance of responsible sourcing and manufacturing.
