COCO-MAT Receives Okeo-Tex Standard 100 Certification

COCO-MAT, the well-known Greek mattress manufacturer, recently added one more feather to their cap in receiving the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 Certification. The Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 is a globally uniform testing and certification system for textile raw materials as well as intermediate and end products at all stages of production. The final approval includes tests for harmful substances, prohibited chemicals, and hazardous substances as well as over a hundred test parameters based on international testing standards. The Oeko-Tex® Certification is recognized proof for the use of fair and environmentally friendly raw materials for the manufacturing processes.

“Receiving the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certification further validates COCO-MAT’ s sustainable and all natural message,” says Janis Tripodakis, Director of Strategy and Development, for the COCO-MAT Shop at ABC Carpet and Home in NYC. “Our sleep products are made out of natural organic raw materials such as silk, wood, wool, cotton, seaweed, coco-fiber, and natural rubbers, allowing the customer to literally sleep on nature while offering a better night’s sleep. COCO-MAT is dedicated to providing consumers with products that promote health and wellness.”

This certification gives a stronger backing to COCO-MAT’s already strong commitment to providing sustainable and eco-friendly products to their customers world-wide. As further evidence, here are a few of COCO-MAT’s other achievements in the past two decades.
