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.
We’ve 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, it’s 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.
teddy has partnered with the SEQUAL INITIATIVE, a unique collaborative community fighting plastic pollution. Each teddy idream and idream Hybrid mattress helps remove up to 50 plastic bottles from our oceans, so that you are helping the planet even while you sleep.
