For a natural sleep without chemical additives in the mattress base
This mattress cover is made of cotton without the addition of active ingredients or chemicals. It is designed for people who do not suffer from allergies or immune deficiencies and want to sleep naturally.
Our immune system needs a certain amount of dirt, bacteria and fungi to deal with in order to stay healthy and active. If we live in a relatively germ-free environment, our immune system is “weakened” and we run the risk of developing an immune deficiency. This increases the risk of infection and the risk of autoimmune diseases.
Mattress covers made from Cotton made in Africa are not quilted, but the filling is woven in using a special weaving technique. This means that the unquilted mattress cover is actually washable and, above all, easy to reupholster.
Environmental degradation, soil pollution and dwindling drinking water supplies in the so-called developing countries are inextricably linked to the unsustainable use of natural resources and a growing poverty gap. Recognizing that the resources that form the basis of life must be protected and that only sustainable development is suitable for ensuring the future viability of subsequent generations, the German government has set itself the goal of achieving this. Together with various partners from business, politics, science and NGOs, the foundation aims to make a contribution to poverty reduction and environmental protection in developing countries, particularly in Africa.
