The mattress is the single most important element of every bedroom. People on average spend a third of their life on it and it is common knowledge that getting good rest is an important factor of an active and happy life. Buying a mattress is therefore essential when it comes to one’s health and well-being.
Depending on the material constituting the core, mattresses are generally classified in four categories: polyurethane foam, latex, springs and hybrid. Most mattresses do however contain layers of polyurethane foam in varying proportions, thanks to its unique properties for comfort and support. Mattresses produced in Europe contain between 2 and up to 30 kg of polyurethane foam.
Almost 50 million mattresses are produced in the European Union per annum. Of those, the market share of mattresses with a polyurethane foam core is estimated to be around 42%. This share is steadily growing, due to the outstanding properties of such mattresses.
But mattresses are not the only bedding product made with polyurethane foam. It is also used in pillows and cushions.
Different polyurethane foam qualities can be used in the same mattress or pillow in order to create products with the properties requested by customers: high resilience foam, memory foam, antibacterial foam, breathable foam… The combinations are virtually endless.
Selecting the right bedding products can sometimes be rather confusing. Much depends of course on personal preference. However, there are also product safety labels existing to help consumers make an informed choice.
One of them is CertiPUR, which attests that the polyurethane foam contained in the product conforms to EUROPUR’s stringent environment, health and safety standards for PU foam. The specifications of CertiPUR have been taken over in the EU Ecolabel criteria for mattresses, which is a label well-known to consumers. Other well-known private quality labels such as the Blue Angel or Oeko Tex 100 are also found on bedding products to allow consumers to make their choice with confidence.
