Our Green Mission
Suite Sleep is committed to being a leader in the natural bedding industry by providing the highest quality products with the best customer service using the most efficient distribution channels at an affordable price. Our commitment to the environment drives us to continually evaluate our product designs and processes to bring the best green products to market.
We have searched the globe to find the purest materials
with which to manufacture our natural mattresses
and bedding: organically grown cotton, woven expertly by German Mills;
natural, untreated wool from the USA, shorn only
once a year from a small flock of organically raised
sheep; natural latex rubber directly from the rubber tree plantations instead of middlemen, where
they harvest the rubber in the morning and mold it
in the afternoon.
Who We Are
Suite Sleep, Inc. is a distribution company designed to bring the world's finest green products together with distinguished retailers, designers, boutique hotels, and sleep centers nationwide. Our goal is to narrow the gap between manufacturers and customers through our extensive product knowledge and wide network base.
The Concept Our staff is very aware that our customers must have choices. Growing sensitivities to the variety and abundance of chemicals used in the manufacture of everyday items prevent more and more people from functioning in the chemical soup that surrounds us daily. Conventionally grown cotton used in most bedding relies heavily upon chemicals that leave toxins in the soil, water, and air, as well as toxic residue on the cotton fibers.
In an effort to preserve our own health, the health of our families, and the environmental health of the planet, many people are choosing a simpler more natural way of life. The Collection is designed for those who wish to live in a cleaner, safer environment, while enjoying a top quality hand-made product. The materials we use are the finest nature can provide - certified organic hand-picked cotton, organic wool and natural rubber.
How We Work
Suite Sleep got its start in 2003 as an effort to grow the natural organic bedding industry, and create new markets for natural bedding products. We have a warehouse with our most popular products to provide just in time delivery, and we have an electronic ordering system to make the buying procedures hassle-free. Our goal is to keep the manfacturers doing what they do best – manufacturing – we handle the rest ... from shipping to branding.
Suite Comfort Collection
Our line of all organic and and natural bedding starts with the finest raw materials the industry has to offer. The luxury mattresses we include in this collection spares no expense to quality, attention to detail, and purity of materials. Made by our manufacterer in the beautiful US of A, these products are produced by craftsment who have been offering fine mattresses for generations. The Pure Comfort Collection includes 3 mattress options: 6” mattress, a layered 8” mattress, and a layered 10” Pure Rubber mattress.
Why Organic
While cotton occupies only 3 percent of the world's farmland, it uses 25 percent of the world's chemical pesticides and fertilizers.
Conventional cotton textile manufacturing involves the use of detergents, bleaches, dyes, silicone spinning resins, fabric finishes including formaldehyde, crease resistant finishes that are bonded to fibers so as to make them unable to wash out.
As consumers, we can keep the organic fields growing and expanding by looking for, asking for, and purchasing products made from organic cotton.

How Our Products Are Made
All of our products are made from the finest 100% organic cotton and wool fibers, natural rubber, and untreated woods like spruce or pine. We use no synthetics or plastics.
There are several components to a bed. Some terminology varies depending on your origin. Above is a diagram of all the possible components of a sleep system. The bed starts with a frame which can be made of wood or metal and is the support for the box spring or foundation. The Foundation can be a box with wood slats or a box with spring support. The mattress can goes either on a foundation or on a platform bed frame. The barrier cloth is a tightly woven cotton that zips around the whole mattress and protects against dust mites. The mattress pad is like a fitted sheet which is made with layers of cotton to protect the pad from spills and body oils. The linens are the sheets and blankets on the bed. Acomforter can also be called a duvet can be filled with wool, polyester, or down. Pillows can be made with wool fill, cotton fill, down fill, or rubber fill.
Organic CottonIn creating everything from our bed accessories--such as pillows, comforters, mattress protectors, and overlays--to our carefully constructed suite sleep mattresses, we start with organically grown and harvested pure cotton. Absolutely no green cotton is used in our mattresses. Chemical-free and certified to the highest standards available today, our products allow you to sleep and to breathe naturally.
KRAV Stamp of Approval Europe's oldest and most prestigious certification agency, KRAV of Sweden (www.krav.se/sprak/english.htm), has certified the organic cotton. Their stamp of approval is not only a guarantee of organic standards, but also that the social rights of cotton producers are respected.
Benefits of Organic Cotton All of the cotton used in suite sleep mattress batting, filling, and fabric is the cleanest, most pure organic product available today.
- Void of toxic chemicals that might be inhaled during sleep
- Comfortable and soft, so that skin is never irritated
- Absorbent and breathable, maximizing air circulation and minimizing perspiration
- Machine-washable to accommodate a busy lifestyle
- Strong and resilient in shape, color, and texture--a must for aesthetics, functionality, and excellent return on investment
Organic Wool Lends Warmth and Dryness
All organic wool batting and fill is 100 percent pure. Our wool is processed without chemicals, dyes, or oils, meaning that it contains no residues from the processing--just time-honored warmth and absorbency.
Incomparable Care
The wool comes from Texel sheep in the USA, where a family-run business takes exceptional pride in its natural methods. The sheep are carefully bred and live a stress-free life. During the summer months, the animals graze on land that has never been used for agriculture, guaranteeing that it is free from contaminants such as pesticides, herbicides, and synthetic fertilizers. In winter, a well-ventilated, climate-controlled barn with clean floors is stocked daily with fresh bedding and a non-rationed organic food supply. The animals are also checked daily for continued health. The resulting fleeces--shorn from live animals, carefully sorted, and washed with only hot water and vegetable-based soaps (no detergents, chemicals, or chlorine bleach)--contain wool fibers that are strong and springy. The fleeces are then processed without the use of oils or bonding agents into wool that retains between 4percent and 6percent lanolin, a natural dust-mite repellent.
ÖKO-TEX 100-certified
We want to offer you a fresh-air sleep experience. Neither you nor your loved
ones should be breathing any harsh chemicals during sleep. Therefore, all
the wool used in our batting is certified to the Öko-Tex 100 standard (www.seamegypt.com/Manuals/ecolabell/App1-3.PDF)
through the Öko-Tex GmbH certification organization in Germany. Moreover,
we do not permit the use of plastic, baling twine, or mothballs during shipment
of our wool.
Benefits The quality organic product achieved by treatment with only vegetable-based agents for washing, lubrication, and static control is just the start.
- Naturally flame-retardant
- Absorbent (it can absorb 30 percent moisture and remain dry--excellent in cases of "night sweats")
- esilient in form and shape, for comfort and for aesthetics
- Cool in summer, warm in winter (as light as a duvet, and easier to clean)
- Naturally repellent to dust mites
Natural Rubber Provides Flexibility and Resilience We use only the finest grade A natural rubber for the support core at the center of our mattresses and overlays. Natural rubber is an ideal choice: it is flexible, yet stable, for superior comfort. And, like our organic cotton and wool, the rubber is absorbent and resilient, contributing to excellent heat and moisture regulation.
Where It Comes From Rubber is harvested by tapping the milk (sap) of Hevea brasiliensis (the common rubber tree). The trees grow in North Malaysian plantations especially selected for their high-quality product. No herbicides are used in these operations, because sheep graze the plantations and control growth.
We also arrange for the Hevea milk to be processed close to the plantations,
because the raw product destabilizes when kept too long. Other manufacturers
avoid the problem by adding chemicals. Our pledge to bring you the purest
products possible means that the rubber milk harvested in the morning is
molded into sheets by mid-afternoon and is soon shipped to our Canadian mattress
plant. By having our rubber manufactured where the trees' milk is harvested,
we also help to sustain the local economy. Jobs are created without depleting
the natural resources of the country--a kindness to ourselves and the planet.
Our Rubber - Natural methods only An injection system produces the purest natural product--for mattress cores that will keep their shape. Only air, natural soap, and natural vulcanization agents are used. At the end of the mattress life cycle, the rubber breaks down, because it is a natural, biodegradable substance.
Benefits of Natural Rubber It's a little known fact that Hevea milk contains an antibacterial substance that is a natural dust-mite repellent.
- Superior durability and elasticity (for mattress longevity)
- Retention of shape and firmness (for even support)
- Flexibility combined with stability (for continuous sleep comfort)
- Excellent heat and moisture regulation
- Superior air circulation (for preventing the growth of molds and mildew)
Renewable Pacific Northwest Hardwood
All of our box springs and foundations are hand-constructed in our plant from seasoned, untreated, carefully selected natural woods such as spruce and pine.
Where It Comes From
Incomparable selectivity in harvesting and manufacture The wood used in all Suite Sleep beds is obtained by the sustainable harvesting method and is FSC certified.
Our Wood - Superior Construction
The foundations are made exclusively of kiln-dried pine. The slats are strong, yet flexible, providing perfect support and unmatched comfort. These superior wood-framing techniques are then united with steel for further comfort and support. High-gauge steel support coils in mattresses are covered with a thickly quilted organic fabric pad. Extra-strong border wire is then used to reinforce the coils, holding them in place, so that the sides of the mattress are prevented from sagging.
Foundations can be set on legs or bed frames. The foundations are constructed of selected hardwoods, each piece individually crafted and fitted by a skilled cabinetmaker following a traditional European design. At the finishing stage, only the finest natural waxes and non-toxic oils are used on the wood.
Benefits of Untreated Wood
suite sleep wood is never treated with synthetic glues, dyes, or finishing sprays at any stage of production. Your home environment is therefore protected from the toxic "off-gassing" that accompanies the use of these harsh chemicals.
- Eliminate cracking noises through the use of extra-strong wood slats
- Eliminate creaking noises owing to sound, fitted, supportive box-style frames
