"How Keetsa is Eco-Friendly"

Keetsa is committed to presenting a line of sleep products that has a minimum impact on your pocketbook and on the environment. We have innovated many changes resulting in a more eco-friendly product line and process. Keetsa continues to seek out new innovations to create sleep products that you and your family can purchase with confidence. Here are our current eco-friendly innovations:

The Mattress Cover

We use unbleached cotton fabrics, bamboo blend fabrics and organic cotton fabrics. Most cotton fabric are bleached or dyed to achieve a more pleasing appearance. But the bleaching process exposes the materials to chemicals. By using unbleached and uncolored cotton fabric, we are lessening your exposure to chemicals used in the bleaching process. Our bamboo blend fabric uses 30% bamboo, a sustainable material, and 70% polyester. While being natural and sustainable, bamboo is unfortunately not durable enough by itself, so we have to blend it with polyester to create a cover that is less dependent on the oil industry and will still be durable enough to carry the Keetsa name. Our organic cotton covers are made with certified organic cotton and are available on The Keetsa and latex line.

The Mattress Fire Barrier

Federal Regulations requires all mattresses to comply with the new standard of fire compliance,16CFR1633. For The Keetsa Latex mattress, we use all natural 100% wool padding for our fire barrier. For other mattresses with memory foam layers, we use a fire barrier that is made with cotton fabric treated with non-toxic FR agent.

Inside the Mattress

1. Bio-Foam™ **

Memory foam is renowned for its durability and comfort. Yet, most memory foam is made with 100% petroleum oil. Not very eco friendly. Keetsa has innovated Bio-foam¢â, a new type of memory foam that replaces 12% of the petroleum oil with castor bean oil, a natural plant oil. This accounts for less dependency on the oil industry and most importantly, this foam has no detected VOC's and no detected formaldehyde. Much more eco-friendly. Click here to see our VOC report.

2. Latex Foam **

Keetsa Latex mattresses feature a latex core that uses all natural latex rubber. Latex is naturally hypo-allergenic, anti-bacterial, mildew and mold resistant. Our latex is LGA certified, QUL certified and ECO certified.

3. EverGreen™

Green Tea is increasingly recognized for its calming effect and for its powerful anti-oxidant. We utilize this powerful anti-oxidant in the form of Green Tea Extract mixed into the Bio-Foam formula to help ensure that our sleep products will maintain a fresh, natural scent without the use of chemical deodorizers.

** These are new innovations and are not currently available in all stores.

The Mattress Base Materials:

Keetsa utilizes either an individually wrapped coil base or pre-consumer recycled foam base in our mattresses. The coil bases are made with recycled steel and individually wrapped to provide a supportive base while preventing motion transfer. Our foam bases utilize our innovative process of reclaiming our own scrap foam from the manufacturing process and mixing synthetic latex to create a recycled foam base material.

The Mattress Support Systems:

Keetsa mattresses are self supportive. They do not require traditional box springs to give the proper support, as long as the mattresses are placed on a flat, stable surfaced foundation or bed frame. Also, we believe box springs are another form of waste for the environment. By having a firm and supportive base for the mattress, we have reduced the mattress waste to half, not to mention the reduced price.

Our Packaging:

Because our mattresses are so durable and well designed, we are able to compress them in a box,which accounts for reduced shipping costs, smaller carbon footprint and no delivery trucks. Not just any mattress can be compressed!
Keetsa uses a Patent-Pending process that allows all of our mattresses to come in a highly efficient package. We've tested many of the major competitive brands and they cannot stand up to this new technology. Only high quality components can be compressed and come back to their original shape. Keetsa has perfected this efficient process for all our mattresses and sleep products. Smaller packaging means a lower carbon footprint from the store to your house. All Keetsa products are packed into 100% recyclable boxes printed with water soluble ink. Also, the plastic bags used for the mattresses are bio-degradable.

Durability and Warranty:

We hear it everyday..."My mattress only lasted a few years before it started breaking down." Poorly made mattresses fill our landfills, not eco-friendly. Keetsa strives to create products that will outlast most major brands. We back up that commitment with one of the best mattress warranties in the business, a 20 year non-prorated warranty. We stand behind all our mattresses for 20 years. Well, we don't literally stand behind your bed...that would be kind of creepy.

If you found a bed that was better for the environment, out-performed the competition, and cost the same, why wouldn't you buy it?

This is our driving philosophy. We recognize that organic is more than a trend, it is a permanent shift in the way we live. GreenBeds.com is committed to providing you the best sleep experience you've ever had, without paying more for it. That was always the stigma with "organic," right? Think about the first organic foods that came out. Either they were priced for the financially elite, or they tasted horrible. As we've seen the industry grow along with our collective consciousness, we now have more options than ever. If you go to your local market, and see mass-produced apples right next to organic ones, priced the same...it's a no-brainer, right?

That's what we're fighting for in the bedding and mattress industry: organic transparency. It should be a no-brainer to choose natural, if the product is superior and the price is comparable. We are not trying to "convince" anyone to go natural...this should be obvious by now, since you spend 1/3 of your life in bed. We simply want it to be an option for everyone, without regard to economic or social status. Every person should be able to make their own free choice about what they want to sleep on. If we have to talk anyone into it, we're not doing our job.

Eco-Friendly and Organic

We fully understand that the industry is not where it needs to be, or where it will be even 5 years from now. For now, we have several ways to get your bedding options more natural. Our Luxury Latex line of mattresses are created on an organic scale, leading up to the Mother Nature mattress, which carries the highest Green Scale rating of 100. Made with natural fibers, fabrics and Natural latex, the Luxury Latex line is worth every penny. And they feel incredible! Latex is the sleep material of Kings.

We also carry Keetsa, which approaches "eco-friendly" from a different angle. We know there are many factors when determining the overall ecological footprint of a manufactured product, beyond just the materials used in the item itself. There are transportation, storage and other soft costs all along the way that can't be ignored. Keetsa's ingenious packaging, combined with renewable and natural materials combine to provide one of the best bang-for-your-buck options on the market. Keetsa mattresses feel great and are a lot of fun.

If you already have a mattress, or aren't ready to take the leap just yet, we also offer an extensive line of mattress comfort layers. These are layers of 100% Natural latex, with no added chemicals or layers. These can be placed on top of an existing mattress to freshen up the feel, provide a protective barrier, to your mattress. We also offer European-style latex mattresses for use on a platform bed or other foundation. No frills, just solid support and comfort.

Whatever your reasons for going green, you can be sure that by partnering with GreenBeds.com, you are helping demonstrate the market to manufacturers, which is ultimately what they need to continue making awesome products. You are a part of something big, and we are grateful to join you.

Better Materials

A great bed is greater than the sum of its parts...but we start with great parts anyway. We only use best-in-class foams, fibers and fabrics so you can be sure to get the best in comfort, durability and longevity. There are many ways to cut corners just to save a few bucks, but that always comes back to bite you. We know the industry inside and out, and choose to sell only the very best products.

Competitive Prices

Price is the other side of the equation that every family needs to feel good about. We carry a full array of products, from pillows to comfort layers to full mattress, so there is something for everyone. When comparing to national brands like Select Comfort? and Tempur-Pedic? which make no attempt to move to natural and organic products, we are incredibly competitive. We have Keetsa mattresses starting at $399, and toppers for much less than that. Free shipping is included on all items (including Free White Glove Delivery on Luxury Latex mattresses!). If you're in the market at all, give GreenBeds.com a look. It just might be the best thing you've done in a while.

GreenBeds.com it just makes sense.
