6.7 HIP
This is the best score a product in this category can reach when the maker shares full data about
its materials, supply chain, repairs, and end-of-life. It is a target, not a product on sale today.

Score Breakdown
How rare are the materials?
MSI · 20%
8.5
Why this score ▸
The product relies on abundant materials including recycled steel, natural latex, wool, and cotton, with no EU Critical Raw Materials present. The 35% recycled content and diverse global supply chain (EU, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, India) mitigate scarcity risks, though the recycled percentage falls just short of the 40% threshold for the highest 'Low Scarcity' bracket.
Where do the materials come from?
SCR · 18%
6.0
Why this score ▸
The mattress supply chain is sourced from four politically stable jurisdictions (EU, UK, NZ, Sri Lanka) with no identified high-risk material concentrations. The presence of an OECD due-diligence framework and a documented alternative supplier elevates the score to the moderate risk range, though the lack of third-party audit verification prevents a higher rating.
Can it be recycled?
RC · 18%
8.0
Why this score ▸
The mattress features a separable layer design without adhesive, enabling clean material recovery. With 80% of materials entering practical recycling streams, compliant labelling, and an active manufacturer take-back scheme, it meets the criteria for a 'Well-Designed for Recovery' product (7-8 range).
Can you fix it?
R · 13%
1.0
Why this score ▸
The mattress utilizes layer-compressed construction with no fasteners, making it glued or ultrasonically welded shut and unrepairable. Spare parts are not available, and no service manual exists, placing it in the unrepairable category typical of sealed consumer goods.
Is it made fairly?
SEI · 8%
8.0
Why this score ▸
The manufacturer operates in the UK, a low-risk jurisdiction, and holds multiple high-level certifications including ISO 14001, GOLS, GOTS, and RWS. The completed RBA audit and annual modern slavery statement confirm verified good practice, though full raw material transparency is not explicitly detailed.
How long will it last?
PL · 8%
9.5
Why this score ▸
The mattress demonstrates exceptional longevity with a 20-year warranty and a stated design life of 25 years, far exceeding typical category norms. This level of commitment to durability and long-term support places it firmly in the 'Designed for Life' category, despite the lack of modular design or IP rating data.
Does it give back to nature?
RI · 15% · scale −10 to +10
+2.0
Why this score ▸
Scored in the Restorative band (+1 to +5) due to the combination of 35% recycled steel content, a verified take-back scheme, and RWS-certified regenerative grazing practices for wool. Not Depleting because the product has substantial recycled content and a closed-loop programme; however, it does not reach the Regenerative band (+6 to +10) as the primary driver for that tier (ROC certification) is absent and the regenerative inputs are not yet dominant enough to claim net-positive ecological outcomes.
MSI 20% · SCR 18% · RC 18% · R 13% · SEI 8% · PL 8% · RI 15% = 100%
About the HIP Methodology ▸
Starting scores are low on purpose. We only count what we can confirm from public data,
so most products sit between 2 and 4 out of 10 before a maker shares their own evidence.
That gap between the starting score and what a product could reach is the whole point.
When a maker proves what their product is really made of, the score goes up.
The HIP Mark shows it has been checked.

Consumer Summary
This mattress earns a HIP Score of 6.7 out of 10, indicating solid performance in the sleep products category. It also achieves a Regenerative Index of +2.0, showing that it actively contributes to environmental restoration through recycled materials and a take-back program. Overall, the product balances durability with a design that supports material recovery.
What This Means For You
When shopping for a mattress, look for items with a high Regenerative Index, as this signals a commitment to using recycled content and offering take-back schemes. Prioritize products that are built to last with long warranties, ensuring you get value over many years. Avoid mattresses that are permanently glued or welded, as these are difficult to recycle at the end of their life.
