Bedding licensing group Spring Air International has joined the Specialty Sleep Association and plans to develop a line of flagship Back Supporter models that will meet the criteria of the SSA’s Environmental & Safety Program.
Rick Robinson, president of Boston–based Spring Air, said he expects the new Back Supporter beds to be available to retailers as early as the end of March. They will be showcased at the Las Vegas Market in August.
“Our decision to join SSA and its Environmental & Safety Program is a statement of our company’s position on environmental respect, consumer health and safety and truth in product labeling,” Robinson said. “As a major trade and consumer mattress brand, we believe in being demonstrative about what we think is right and what we value.”
The SSA Environmental & Safety Program provides a three–step seal and consumer disclosure label program to help consumers understand the environmental and safety attributes of participating manufacturers’ products.
