Dedicated to improving sustainability in the bedding industry
The Comfort Group aims to be a global leader in ethical and environmentally friendly mattress production by 2030. Respect for people, communities, and the environment guides our practices. We prioritise abolishing modern slavery in supply chains, reducing environmental impact by minimising energy consumption, waste generation, and water usage. We adhere to local laws, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We invest in sustainable solutions including innovative technology, equipment upgrades, and eco-friendly materials. This approach minimises our environmental footprint and results in products independently verified as ethical, environmentally friendly, and with minimal health impact. Examples include our Green Ribbon recognised CO2 foam, recycled polyester fiber made from plastic bottles, recycled foam underlays and biodegradable packaging. We partner with organizations like GECA and the Australian Bedding Stewardship Council, and actively participate in mattress recycling programs. As part of our commitment, we launched our first fully recyclable mattress in 2020 and our operations are regularly audited to help us improve our systems and processes, and minimise our environmental impact.

2010
Soft Landing Mattress Recycling
Since 2010, Soft Landing has been collecting and recycling old mattresses to help divert unnecessary waste from landfill, while recycling essential components to create new products and help create hundreds of jobs along the way. In fact, for every 35 mattresses that are collected and recycled by Soft Landing, they can create a job for someone who needs one. The Comfort Group has been there every step of the way, witnessing this unprecedented growth as a Founding Member and continued Product Stewardship member of the programme.
2018
Internal Training: Learning Edge
Investing in a more equitable future for our diverse workforce, The Comfort Group launched a training program aimed at upskilling factory staff & providing opportunities to study towards formal qualifications. This training gives long-serving staff a chance to learn the core skills that make them future ready and confident to embrace technology improvements we may implement in the future.
2018
Office Waste Reduction
In 2018, The Comfort Group removed all individual workstation bins in an effort to reduce office waste. The bins were replaced by small ‘Friendlypak’ mini desktop bins made from recycled cardboard and reusable plastic liners. Within weeks the landfill created within the office was reduced by up to 90%.
