From the initial concept to the actual manufacturing in our production facilities around the world - we are proud to play a significant part in shaping the beds, mattresses and sleep accessories of tomorrow.
Good Night’s SleepLab tests products in four dimensions: Ergonomics, Hygiene, Bed climate and Durability.
The definition of our test dimensions was a process that took months of painstaking analysis and research. We asked ourselves how we, in the best possible way, can design tests that align with consumer needs. To answer that question, we hosted workshops, involving medicine experts, test specialists, physiotherapists and, most importantly, consumers.
We made thorough studies of both literature and other test procedures. Given that none of the existing test procedures seemed to use more than one or two test parameters, the conclusion was that none of them was enough.
Ergonomics
To support back relaxation, a bed must adapt to body contours. We test lying properties, body support and regeneration.
Criteria measured: Comfort and relaxation
Hygiene
Particularly important to people suffering from allergies. We test anti-bacterial substances to prevent bacteria, fungus and odour.
Criteria measured: Cleanliness and freshness
Durability
A mattress should last for up to 10 years, and withstand moisture, pressure and temperature fluctuations. We test life span and durability.
Criteria measured: Reliability and safety
Bed climate
To sleep well, we need to have the right temperature and a dry climate under the bed cover. We test air permeability, moisture transportation and temperature control.
Criteria measured: A dry and pleasant bed climate
We understand that people spend a third of their lives on the products we make. We are committed to quality in everything we create and recognize that any action we take in our business can have an impact on a person’s health, welfare, and overall quality of life. We do not take shortcuts that will affect quality, and we do not ignore inefficiency that affects price.
Our Good Night’s SleepLab is where we analyse, test, and certify our products. We see our test facility as a big and important step on the way. Why? Because it is our firm belief that we, to genuinely meet consumer needs, have to offer a variety of brands, technologies and sleep concepts.
