Simmons Introduces Eco-Friendly Mattress Line at JCPenney
Simmons and Eco-Friendly Living Expert Danny Seo Offer Tips for
Creating a “Green” and Healthy Bedroom
Simmons Bedding Company
announced in May that its new Natural Care® by Danny Seo line of
latex mattresses will be available at select JCPenney stores and
online at jcp.com. Simmons partnered with eco-friendly living expert
Danny Seo to offer a “green” bedding collection, which features
natural, biodegradable and renewable components such as natural
rubber tree based latex and a layer of base foam enhanced with soy.
“As interest in sustainable products has grown, so has the need for
a ‘green’ mattress that is accessible for the majority of consumers.
There is no reason that ‘green’ mattresses should be a niche product
when there is huge consumer support for environmentally friendly
products,” said Danny Seo. “I hear from my readers and viewers that
they want to invest in a ‘green’ mattress, but want to purchase it
from a brand name they trust. Thanks to Simmons, sustainable and
renewable bedding products are now readily available providing
consumers the opportunity to experience a Natural Care® mattress and
discover the benefits of a luxurious, eco-friendly sleep
environment.”
Natural Care® mattresses feature natural latex made from
biodegradable materials like rubber tree sap, which is harvested and
refined to create one of the most soothing and responsive sleeping
surfaces in the world. The highly resilient and durable nature of
latex means that a mattress will retain its shape and performance
for many years to come. Natural Care® latex is also inherently
resistant to dust mites, mold and mildew. Furthermore, beneath the
Natural Care® mattress’ latex layer is a layer of base foam enhanced
with soy. The use of soy reduces the amount of petroleum needed to
manufacture the foam and results in a smaller carbon footprint.
Natural Care® mattresses also feature a Tencel® fabric cover made
from wood fibers. This natural knit fabric is constructed with
biodegradable yarn and offers exceptional breathability and comfort.
In addition, Simmons’ Triton® foundation is made from with 100
percent sustainable wood typically sourced from companies who
participate in the Sustainable Forestry Initiative, and the metal in
the foundation’s interior grid includes up to 80 percent recycled
steel.
“We conducted a significant amount of research on sustainable and
renewable foams and fabrics when designing the Natural Care® line
and took special care to select materials that would promote the
best possible sleep experience for the consumer, while providing the
added benefit of being environmentally friendly,” said Tim Oakhill,
Simmons’ executive vice president of marketing. “Today, sustainable
living is an option for everyone, and the availability of the
Simmons Natural Care® line at JCPenney represents our combined
efforts to make an eco-friendly mattress available to consumers at a
smart price.”
Priced at $1,599 and up, the collection will bear JCPenney’s “Simply
Green” mark, an exclusive-to-JCPenney designation that assists
customers in making environmentally conscious purchases.
Tips for a Green and Healthy Bedroom
Because many consumers are interested in ‘greening’ their entire
bedroom, not just the mattress, Simmons also worked with Seo on the
development of The Green Guide to a Healthier Bedroom to make the
eco-friendly decorating process easier.
The Green Guide to a Healthier Bedroom contains Seo’s sustainable
design tips for virtually every aspect of the bedroom as well as
advice for obtaining healthy, rejuvenating sleep. Consumers may
download the guide by visiting the Mattress Buying Guide section of
www.naturalcarebed.com.
