CertiPUR Certification

CertiPUR certification is an internationally recognized standard that ensures the quality, safety and durability of polyurethane foams used in the bedding industry, including mattresses, pillows and mattress toppers. This certification is awarded by an independent, non-profit organization that evaluates and certifies foams based on strict criteria for chemical composition, emissions and performance.

The main objective of CertiPUR certification is to reassure consumers about the quality of polyurethane foams and to guarantee that they are free from substances harmful to health and the environment. To obtain this certification, foams must meet the following requirements:

Free of harmful substances: CertiPUR foams are free of heavy metals, formaldehyde, phthalates and other hazardous substances. They also meet volatile organic compound (VOC) concentration thresholds to ensure healthy indoor air quality.

Low Emissions: CertiPUR certified foams have reduced emissions of VOCs and other chemical compounds, contributing to better indoor air quality and a healthy sleep environment.

Durability: CertiPUR foams are performance tested to ensure durability and resistance to sagging, warping and loss of support over time.

Environmentally Friendly: Manufacturers of CertiPUR certified foams are required to adhere to responsible production practices, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions and responsible waste management.

By choosing bedding products containing CertiPUR certified foams, consumers can be sure that they are choosing quality products that are free of harmful substances and environmentally friendly. This certification also contributes to the transparency and traceability of materials used in the bedding industry, helping consumers make informed and responsible purchasing decisions.
