Reducing our impact
We want to keep our impact on the planet minimal. All the materials we use can be recycled or re-used. We work with only zero-waste factories and reduce direct use of energy and materials.
A Sustainable Sleep
We strive to sustainably engineer the perfect sleep. We’re committed to reducing our impact on the world. From reducing waste to using sustainable materials, you can rest easy knowing we’re rising to the challenge.
Recycled & re-used
We recycle or re-process anything that's returned to us - from boxes to springs. Foam is used in carpet underlay and metal is repurposed. We offer an old mattress collect and recycle service.
Our initiatives so far
We’ve been examining and improving how we source, process and manufacture, we’re committed to evolving our practices so mother nature can sleep easier too.
Manufacturing
Our factories have a zero waste to landfill policy. So all the materials we use are either recycled or re-used. This helped us offset 107.6 tonnes of carbon emissions since 2019. We manufacture in the UK reducing our travel emissions and creating local jobs.
Sourcing
We seek to re-use existing materials and to make them recyclable again afterwards. For example, we use siliconised fibres from plastic bottles in our duvet fill and our mattresses are made from 100% recyclable materials.
Packaging
We're always looking for ways to make our packaging eco-friendly. Our boxes are 60% recycled content and the cardboard is FSC approved. Our plastic wrap contains 40% recycled content. All can be recycled at home, at local recycling centres or carrier bag collection points.
Simba-pure foam
Foam in other mattresses include TCPP and other chemicals - phosphates, parabens, biocides, and persistant organic pollutants. Simba produced Simba-Pure, a purer foam that exceeds fire safety regulations and is kinder to the planet. Any excess foam is repurposed into carpet underlay. Our foam is also CertiPUR certified - made without heavy metals and dyes.
In the community
Simba provides special discounts for frontline NHS workers.
Simba is a founding supporter of Gen M, providing curated support for women going through the menopause and championing change in attitudes towards the menopause.
Net Zero commitment
We're all in this together, that's why we've joined forces with retailers across the country on the BRC Climate Action Roadmap and are committing to be carbon neutral by 2040.
Simba recognise that sustainability is greater than individual output. The BRC Climate Action Roadmap provides a fantastic opportunity for Simba to work with other leading brands and influence government legislation on how we tackle emissions within retail operations and supply chains; from raw material extraction through to final mile delivery. It is certainly a colossal challenge, but something we believe Simba can help achieve with guidance and support from this groundbreaking initiative.
What's Next?
Over the next few months, we’re developing a sustainability strategy to ensure we meet our net zero targets. Watch this space!
