Diamond Mattress has earned the Greenguard Gold certification for all mattresses produced at the company’s factories in California and Texas. The Rancho Dominguez, California-based manufacturer will feature the Greenguard Gold mark on every product it manufactures, which can also include private-label opportunities.
According to a news release, Greenguard Gold-certified products meet some of the most stringent health-based requirements for more than 300 different volatile organic compounds known to contribute to indoor air pollution and are linked to a variety of health problems, including allergies, asthma and cardiovascular disease. The certification process includes rigorous testing to demonstrate that the products contribute to cleaner air, lower emissions and a healthier home environment. The label assures retailers and consumers they are choosing products designed to support healthier indoor environments.
Company officials said Diamond earned Greenguard Gold certification on most of its products earlier this year and has worked diligently to expand that to include its newest technology-driven lines, the Auto Pilot smartbed, exclusive Technogel and Gel Grid by Diamond Mattress.
“This milestone represents a vital commitment for Diamond Mattress as we pursue our broader sustainability goals,” said Shaun Pennington, CEO. “We’ve long embraced practices like using recycled fiber pads and steel and recycling foam and fabric waste from production. This certification is another step forward in creating sustainable, health-conscious products.”
Additionally, the company has converted to using Repreve FR, a recycled polyester with built-in flame-retardant technology. In the one-year period since Diamond Mattress started using Repreve FR, the company has given 550,184 plastic bottles a second life and kept them out of oceans and landfills, the news release said.
“We’re proud to use components that play a vital role in sustainability. This displays Diamond’s unwavering dedication to safeguard vulnerable populations and responsible manufacturing,” Pennington said.
