COCO-MAT
We sleep on nature. Do you? Established in 1989, COCO-MAT today is a recognised leader for natural sleep products, bed linen, towels and furniture for homes and hotels. We have a growing network of stores in now ten countries and are proud to supply customers anywhere in the world. We are committed to manufacturing the best beds in the world in the most sustainable way possible. COCO-MAT beds consist of multiple layers of natural materials, providing optimal, elastic support to the human body, without the use of metal springs. All our products are made from natural materials from renewable sources, such as coco fibre, natural rubber, wool, cotton, sea grass, horsehair, silk, linen, wood and goose down. COCO-MAT sleep products are all handmade in the company’s owned manufacturing unit in Xanthi, in Northern Greece. Committed to reducing its environmental footprint and providing naturally healthy products, we have effectively banned the use of chemicals in the treatment of products. Where materials are not used in their natural state and colour, only ecological, non-toxic, non-aggressive dyes are used. COCO-MAT also tries minimising the amount of waste and cut-offs. By investing in new production methods, we have achieved a recycling rate of today 96%. Product left-overs are being used to produce other products, e.g. cut-offs from natural rubber sheets are reserved for the production of rubber flake fillings.
