We’re pleased to announce a new addition to the upholstered bed fabric options – Eco Velvet!As every bed base is handmade to order, there is now even more options to pick from, ensuring your bed is perfect for you. Take a closer look at our latest fabric option below…
Of course, being the Natural Bed Company, we like to use natural or eco friendly products wherever possible. The Eco Velvet fabric is 100% recycled pile velvet, knitted from yarns extruded from post-consumer PET bottles. Repurposing thousands of plastic bottles bound for the ocean or landfill!Each Metre of this fabric repurposes around 30x 550ml bottles!This innovative cycle offers a unique and environmentally conscious approach to fabric production. Reusing and recycling otherwise unwanted plastic without any compromise on on quality or performance.
Additionally, by using recycled polyester (rather than virgin):
FR compliance is also achieved through a clever naturally FR modacrylic blend backing. So no need for additional chemical treatment.
For added peace of mind, Eco-Velvet is fully REACH compliant, certified to Standard 100 Oeko-Tex – thoroughly tested beyond national and international requirements to ensure that all fabric components are fully free from any substances which may be harmful to human health – and is also GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certified.
Of course – this fabric is absolutely beautiful to the eye and touch! We love that it’s luxurious, soft and available in a wide range of gorgeous colours. We’ve selected a small palette of 6 available to order directly through our website (you can see these below) but we can use any from the full range of 49 colours. See the full range and order free samples here. We’re sure you’ll find a shade to suit your space.
A highly breathable, super-soft microfibre knit velvet, this eco friendly velvet benefits from an easy-clean finish – giving it liquid repellence properties. As such, stains can be easily spot cleaned with a warm water and mild household soap solution. The fabric also has a Martindale score of 60,000+ revs, lightfastness of 5 and further physical testing to Severe Contract specifications. So it is very hardwearing!
Essentially, any of our upholstered bed bases can be made with the Eco Velvet! At the time that this blog is written, we currently have the Bloomsbury photographed in the shade Plantation and the Iona photographed in the shade Indigo. But, you can also choose this fabric option for the Arran, Shetland, Highland and Skye.
We hope this brief introduction to the latest fabric option has been helpful – However, if you have any questions that are not answered here, please do get in touch below!
