Specialty sleep manufacturer durable products co. announced that its EcoSleep visco mattresses will now carry the CertiPUR-US certification.

This move is in response to consumers seeking clearer guidance when shopping for environmentally friendly mattresses using natural and sustainable raw materials. Now EcoSleep's Cool-Contour Deluxe, Healthy Living and the new Sensation, Obsession and Revelation lines all will feature the CertiPUR-US seal.

"Seeing the CertiPUR seal on EcoSleep mattresses will appeal to people who have a meaningful sense of environmental and social responsibility and incorporate these values into their purchasing decisions," said dpc Owner Dave R. Young. "Consumers that have been looking for clearer guidance when shopping for environmentally friendly mattresses can feel confident that EcoSleep products are not only comfortable but have also passed very strict environmental, health and safety standards."

CertiPUR-US is a voluntary testing, analysis and certification program that was developed by members of the global foam industry in response to an increase in substandard imported foams. The certification is given to home furnishings merchandise, such as upholstered furniture and mattresses. Items that carry the CertiPUR-US seal contain flexible polyurethane foam products that have been tested and certified by an independent laboratory to meet specific criteria for physical performance, indoor emissions and environmental stewardship.

Mattresses that carry the CertiPUR-US seal may be marketed as providing low emission volatile organic compounds for indoor air quality and made without ozone-depleting CFCs, PBDE fire retardant, formaldehyde, prohibited phthalates, mercury, lead and heavy metals.

The mattresses are shipped to retailers and consumers using the dpc's flat-seal technology, which compresses the mattress to a uniform density one third of its original size before sealing and rolling. When compared to traditional torque compression and vacuum-sealing systems, this system consistently preserves the structural integrity of the whole mattress without creating undue stress on the mattress components. Mattresses completely recover to their original shape and size quickly and without defect.
