Despite our call to other manufacturers to join us in our campaign, not one has come forward. We are not only fighting the authorities but the bed industry itself which is bent on maintaining the status quo, whilst being well aware of the harm these chemicals cause.

We have tirelessly lobbied government, and made a few friends along the way, but to date we remain the only UK mattress manufacturer to proactively develop safer alternatives to chemicals and actively lobby Government to change their approach to fire retardant chemicals.

We are passionate about protecting people's health and the environment. Every day we are pressurising ministers and the authorities to change their stance. We have worked with the Fire Brigade Union and charities, who are also very concerned about the effects of these chemicals, and fighting to get the message out to the public of their toxicity.

We have shown it is possible to make fire safe mattresses without the use of ANY flame retardant chemicals and have academic research which confirms this.

We want to educate the public and provide information so you can make an informed choice. With your support we can make a difference for the generations to come. Learn more

Rebecca and I took over Cottonsafe® Natural Mattress in January 22. I had worked for the previous owner and founder, Mark for nearly 10 years as production manager.

When Mark and his wife Liz decided it was time to retire they had a chat about us taking over and the rest, as they say, is history!

With a young family, we couldn’t think of a better time to take the leap and help to grow this amazing small business which remains committed to bringing the very best and healthiest mattresses to the industry.

Rebecca had a long career in social care before moving into the world of Interior Design in 2014. She has been committed to taking our family on a journey of environmentalism over the past 10 years (I won’t lie, I think cloth nappies have been my least favourite experience) and is now a driving force in our product development and product review ensuring that at every turn we continue to meet our commitment to people’s health and the planet.

The business has gone from strength to strength, even in tricky times – we have a super team working with us and with your support we hope that one day we can bring healthy sleeping environments to every home in the country.

Cheers,

Jamie & Rebecca

“Our mission is to bring safer sleeping environments into every home in the UK, we have created a toxic mattress wasteland which is unsustainable. The removal of fire-retardant chemicals from mattresses is not only vital to the future of people’s health but to the health of our planet as well.”
