Plant-based fibres are at the heart of Hypnos’ latest collection.
Aimed at consumers looking to make more healthy and sustainable choices, Hypnos’ latest mattress range, the Eden Project Collection, will soon be making an appearance in stores.
Created in collaboration with the Eden Project, the global movement working with nature to respond to the planetary emergency, Hypnos has created three seasonal-turn pocket sprung mattresses using ethically sourced plant-based fibres.
Designed to work in partnership with nature, these plant fibres, many of which can be found in the Eden Project’s biomes in Cornwall, have natural characteristics that help promote healthy sleep and comfort, and boast their own comfort-enhancing properties of durability, breathability, moisture absorption and thermo-regulation.
The range comprises the Rainforest, Mediterranean and Wild Cornwall mattresses which feature up to 13 plant-based materials, including new banana, orange and pineapple fibres.
It also features a soft, innovative seaweed-infused viscose sleep surface, known to release antioxidants and vitamins to the skin.
Newly sourced as an upholstery material for mattresses, the fruit fibres are made from the plant’s stem, creating a soft bast fibre that is bleach-free, lightweight, bio-degradable, moisture absorbing and durable. There are also responsive layers of Talalay latex tapped from rubber trees, which is seven times more breathable than foams or other latex products and is naturally mould resistant, antibacterial, durable, biodegradable and VOC-free.
Each mattress features Hypnos’ new 10-turn ReActivePro DUO pocket spring system for a luxurious, responsive feel. Each spring layer engages separately, depending on weight and size: first the top layer, then the second, providing a graduated feel and cushioned support.
Hypnos is one of only a few carefully chosen licensing partners to work with the Eden Project, a unique partnership that champions community support, sustainable living, education and product design. The collection will help generate revenue for the Eden Project and its mission to respond to the planetary emergency by respecting the natural world, protecting wild places and repairing damaged spaces.
‘We’re delighted to partner with Hypnos to create this unique and innovative collection that aligns perfectly with our mission to demonstrate that people are part of – not apart from – nature. We have recently undertaken a rebrand to communicate our mission to encourage working with nature to respond to the planetary emergency, by respecting, protecting and repairing the natural world,’ says Tracey Smith, Eden Project commercial manager.
‘As we celebrate our 120th year, we are pleased to further strengthen our partnership with the Eden Project by creating an exclusive collection that encompasses our core values: inspiring people to create beautiful yet sustainable home spaces, and protecting the environment through the use of responsibly designed products,’ says David Baldry, Hypnos Group md.
‘Hypnos has a long history of innovation and quality, and we are proud to continue to inspire and enable people to sleep more sustainably. Thanks to the carefully selected, natural plant-based materials we’ve combined to create this collection, customers can achieve a comfortable and restful night’s sleep, with the reassurance that integrity and wellbeing are at the heart of what we do.’
