teddy was born through the idea of doing better.
With over two decades of expertise in the mattress industry and a deep knowledge of foam and textile recycling, our founder set out to create products that combine comfort, quality, and conscience.
As we strive to continuously improve and work towards a greener tomorrow, the upcycling of old mattresses has always been an industry issue and a focus of ours.
As a small company looking to make a big impact, we are leaning on the industry networks we have built over the last 20 years and working with both international and local textile, steel and foam recyclers to try and work on a sustainable solution to stop the volume of old mattresses finding their way to landfill each year.
We know, we still have a long way to go to achieve our goals but everyday we are one step closer.
Planting native trees is one of the most powerful actions we can take to combat climate change and protect our beautiful country for future generations.
Weāve partnered with Trees That Count, an organisation planting native trees throughout New Zealand by connecting tree funders with tree planters.
While we choose to use only ethically sourced timber to make teddy bed bases, itās important to us to also help regenerate native trees, support biodiversity in Aotearoa and to help mitigate our carbon footprint.
We have committed to donating a portion of our profits towards this cause.
Eco-friendly products are a more conscious choice, but when it comes to really minimising harm to the planet, choosing products produced with up-cycled materials is even better.
Upcycling prevents unnecessary waste heading to landfill or into our oceans by instead diverting it back into high-quality, usable materials.
Itās called the circular economy, and weāre contributing our bit to creating change through a partnership with the Seaqual Initiative.
Every day up to 8 million pieces of plastic find their way into our oceans. Rescuing plastic from our oceans is an incredibly powerful way to protect our marine life for years to come.
teddy has partnered with the SEQUAL INITIATIVE, a unique collaborative community fighting plastic pollution. Each teddy bed is woven with SEQUAL fabric, and removes up to 50 plastic bottles from our oceans, so that you are helping the planet even while you sleep.
Together our choices and actions can bring about great change. Join us in the fight against marine litter and our mission to support local communities and the circular economy.
