Step 1.
Our FSC beechwood timber is sustainably sourced, and handmade into our frames.
This makes for a perfect base for all our other eco-friendly furniture materials. Modern upholstery often uses chipboard, cardboard and timber to make furniture frames, which is not eco-friendly and its lifespan isn’t as long. What’s more, we’ve partnered with the National Trust and we are committed to planting a tree with every sale we make.
Step 2.
We use mesh top spring units, the most superior springing system you can have.
Our spring units are made from 100% steel, which can be easily recycled after their long life in a sofa. This is unlike many modern sofas and chairs that use elasticated webbing, which has a limited lifespan.
Step 3.
Next, we use 100% natural and compostable hessian lining and jute webbing.
Modern upholstery uses polypropylene lining derived from crude oil which is non renewable. It is also not an eco friendly material in furniture, as it turns into microplastics over time and proceeds to enter water sources.
Step 4.
We use rubberised hair is 40% natural latex, 30% animal hair and 30% coco fibre.
There are no harsh chemicals in this eco-friendly alternative, unlike the use of synthetic latex and petroleum based foams in most modern upholstery.
Step 5.
We use naturally fire retardant, sustainable wool as our wadding, as well as cotton.
Modern upholstery often uses polyester felt. This is a synthetic, petroleum-based fibre, making for a carbon-intensive, non-renewable resource.
Step 6.
Pick from a choice of cushion fillings.
Feathers for our ethically sourced cushions are gathered as a bi-product and they provide a soft, sink-in comfort. If you prefer your seating to be a little firmer, we also offer wool cushion inners as an alternative.
Pick from a choice of cushion fillings.
Alternatively, if you’re looking for the perfect balance of comfort and support, we can use 100% natural latex foam core. Because this is placed in between an eco feather and down wrap, you can still enjoy plenty of comfort.
We suggest you take a look at how to care for your sofa and its components.
Step 7.
Pick from our collection of natural or recycled fabrics.
We have curated a selection of linens, cotton velvets and recycled cottons for you to choose from, specially chosen to fit any style of home. There are no harsh chemicals and we make sure not to use FR treatment on our fabrics.
