Environmentally Friendly Mattresses

Irish manufacturer Home Lee Bedding has launched Ireland's first fully environmentally friendly mattress. "The Eden" is a foam mattress made from castor oil instead of petroleum based chemicals.

Another Irish manufacturer, Natural Sleep, have a range of mattresses and beds that are mostly constructed from natural materials. These mattresses keep a traditional spring mattress which is unique in Europe.

These types of innovations may help Irish companies to compete against their low-cost competitors and foster new markets.
