Tips on living a green life from Snoozel Green

Father’s Day is just around the corner, and let’s face it — there are only so many novelty socks, mugs, and BBQ tool sets one dad can handle. This year, why not treat him to something he’ll genuinely appreciate: better sleep.

We believe your new mattress should be a joy to receive — not just to sleep on. That’s why every Snoozel Green mattress is packaged with care, intention, and sustainability at its core.

Here’s what to expect when your organic mattress arrives at your door.

We get it — choosing a mattress is a big investment. And when you see a Snoozel Green mattress priced higher than high-street options or bed-in-a-box brands, you might wonder: what’s behind the cost?

Let’s break it down. Here’s why our mattress costs more — and why it’s worth every penny.

If you’ve ever browsed for an organic mattress or bedding, you’ve probably come across a string of certifications: GOTS, GOLS, OEKO-TEX, and more.

But what do these labels actually mean? Are they all the same? And how do they protect you as a customer?

For years, I struggled with sleep. Not just the occasional bad night, but persistent, frustrating insomnia. I’d wake up groggy, tense, and often with an aching back. I tried everything — meditation apps, herbal teas, blackout curtains — but nothing seemed to stick.

Then I realised I was overlooking the obvious: my mattress.

In a world full of shortcuts, mark-ups, and marketing fluff, staying true to your principles isn’t always the easiest route — but at Snoozel Green, it’s the only one that feels right.

Since day one, we’ve refused to cut corners when it comes to our materials, our ethics, and our impact. Here are 7 non-negotiables that shape every mattress, pillow, and sheet we make — and always will.

At Snoozel Green, we’re proud to say we don’t just design our mattresses — we build them, too. Every Snoozel Green mattress is handmade in our very own factory in Sri Lanka, where ethics, sustainability, and craftsmanship come together to create something genuinely rare in the sleep industry: total transparency.

Here’s how your mattress is made, and why that matters.

When it comes to choosing an organic mattress, you’re spoiled for choice. But not all “natural” or “eco-friendly” mattresses are created equal. Many brands use clever marketing to appear greener than they are — a practice known as greenwashing.

So how does Snoozel Green compare to the competition? Here’s what really sets us apart.

You’ve probably heard of vegan food, fashion, and even beauty — but what about vegan sleep? As more consumers seek products that align with cruelty-free, plant-based living, vegan mattresses are growing in popularity.

But what exactly is a vegan mattress? And why does it matter?

Let’s unpack it.

You’ve invested in blackout curtains, perfected your bedtime routine, and even put your phone away an hour before bed. But if you’re still struggling with poor sleep, the problem might be lurking in the air, fabrics, and furniture around you.

The average bedroom is a silent source of chemical exposure, with synthetic materials and everyday items releasing toxins that can disrupt your rest and your health.

If you find yourself tossing and turning, throwing the covers off, or waking up in a sweat, your mattress could be to blame.

While body temperature naturally fluctuates during sleep, overheating is a common issue for many — especially those sleeping on synthetic or memory foam mattresses that trap heat. The good news? Natural, breathable materials can dramatically improve your sleep comfort.

Latex mattresses are often marketed as the “green” choice in a sea of synthetic sleep surfaces — but how eco-friendly is latex really? As with most sustainable products, the answer depends on how it's made, sourced, and processed.
