The ideal bed: a definition after 30 years of experience

After three decades of study, product development, and feedback from thousands of customers, we know exactly what the ideal bed looks like. A good bed not only provides comfort but also supports your body exactly as it needs, regardless of how you lie down.

The ideal bed allows you to sink in enough to reduce pressure and ensures optimal contact with your body in every sleeping position. At the same time, it provides ample support to keep your spine in a healthy position. This minimizes muscle tension and gives your body and mind the chance to recover during the night. Moreover, this bed must be made from non-toxic, natural raw materials.

Adaptability in every sleeping position

We all turn over multiple times per night. We do this to relieve pressure points and maintain blood circulation. Your body instinctively adapts and switches between different sleeping positions, but we always return to our preferred position. More than 70% of women, for example, prefer to sleep on their sides, while most men prefer a side-stomach position. Although sleeping on your back is theoretically the most ideal for reducing pressure, we subconsciously seek out our dominant sleeping position.

That’s why it’s essential for a bed to adapt to every position. Your mattress should not only provide support in the position you fall asleep in but also when you turn over during the night. The ideal bed supports your body equally well in every position, without your muscles having to unnecessarily tense up.

The importance of natural materials

In addition to comfort and support, the choice of materials is crucial. A mattress should be large enough to allow you to move freely but should also ventilate well and absorb moisture to let your body breathe. This contributes to a stable body temperature and prevents you from waking up due to a sleeping environment that is too warm or damp.

When it comes to the materials used, we strive to use non-toxic and ecologically responsible raw materials. At Greensleep, we prefer organically grown and environmentally friendly processed materials. Our natural latex and cotton are free from harmful chemicals, which is not only better for you but also for the environment. These natural materials outperform artificial foams in both comfort and durability.

The emergence of Greensleep
In 1990, after years of development and innovation in the sleep industry, Greensleep founder Georges Lambrecht came to an important realization. He had to let go of the high-tech materials that had been used until then and return to basics: nature. What followed was a period of intense testing and comparing natural raw materials. To his surprise, these natural materials proved to be superior to the synthetic foams and textiles that were common at the time.

This marked the beginning of Greensleep and the definition of what the ideal bed is. It’s not just about how good a bed feels, but also about how it supports your body while respecting nature.

The future of sleep

At Greensleep, we continue to strive for improving sleep experiences through innovation, research, and sustainability. The ideal bed remains a combination of optimal comfort, support in every position, and the use of natural materials that contribute to both your well-being and that of the planet. Our journey in the world of sleep and sustainability continues, always with the goal of creating the ideal sleeping environment.
