7.8 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%
9.5
Why this score ▸
The product relies on abundant bio-based materials including natural latex, organic cotton, and wool, none of which appear on the EU Critical Raw Materials list. Supply chains are diversified across Sri Lanka, India, and New Zealand with no single-country concentration risk exceeding 70%. The absence of critical minerals and the use of certified sustainable sourcing result in an exemplary scarcity profile.
Where do the materials come from?
SCR · 18%
6.0
Why this score ▸
The supply chain sources natural latex from Sri Lanka, India, and New Zealand, all of which have acceptable governance scores, alongside German manufacturing. The presence of an OECD due-diligence framework and a documented alternative supplier supports a moderate risk rating, though the lack of third-party verification limits the score to the upper end of the moderate range.
Can it be recycled?
RC · 18%
7.0
Why this score ▸
The product features a hand-separable zip cover and a verified take-back scheme, enabling material recovery rates between 60-80%. While the specific recyclable stream percentage was not submitted, the presence of a compliant recycling label and a manufacturer-operated take-back program for natural latex sleep products supports a score in the Well-Designed for Recovery band.
Can you fix it?
R · 13%
7.0
Why this score ▸
The product features replaceable organic cotton tape fasteners and a 20-year spare parts commitment, supported by a public service manual and an iFixit score of 7. These factors align with the 'Designed for Repair' criteria, indicating that independent repair is genuinely practical despite the product being outside the EU Ecodesign scope.
Is it made fairly?
SEI · 8%
8.5
Why this score ▸
Manufacturing in Germany, an OECD jurisdiction with strong labour law enforcement, combined with a completed RBA audit and multiple third-party certifications including GOLS, GOTS, RWS, and ISO 14001:2015. The presence of a modern slavery statement and ILO compliance claims further supports this verified good practice rating.
How long will it last?
PL · 8%
9.5
Why this score ▸
The product demonstrates exceptional longevity with a 20-year warranty and a stated design life of 25 years, exceeding the 10-year threshold for the highest tier. The modular design further supports extended usability by enabling component replacement. No IP rating or software support data was submitted, but the physical durability metrics alone justify a score in the 9-10 range.
Does it give back to nature?
RI · 15% · scale −10 to +10
+6.0
Why this score ▸
The product qualifies for the Regenerative band (+6 to +10) because it utilizes GOLS-certified natural latex, a bio-based renewable material that actively sequesters carbon and maintains biodiversity through certified regenerative farming practices. This score is supported by third-party verification of soil health and social standards, meeting the requirement for verified regenerative inputs rather than self-reported claims. It is not merely Renewable (0) because the GOLS certification confirms active ecosystem restoration, and it is not limited to the Extractive band (-5 to -1) despite 0% recycled content because the primary material origin is bio-based renewable with verified take-back and closed-loop programmes.

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 Natural Latex Sleep Product earns a HIP Score of 7.8 out of 10, matching the current market baseline for the home lifestyle category. It also achieves a Regenerative Index of +6.0, indicating it actively contributes to regenerative practices through the use of certified natural materials. The product combines durable design with a verified take-back scheme to support long-term material recovery.
What This Means For You
When shopping for sleep products, look for items that offer long warranties and use certified natural materials to ensure lasting value and environmental benefit. Prioritize brands that provide clear take-back programs or repair services, as these features significantly extend the product's life. Avoid products that lack transparency about their material origins or end-of-life recovery options.
