Pillow Talk

Cozy cocoon styles are essential for bedroom lifestyles, with pillow padding providing much-needed comfort and multi-sensory therapy.​

Responsible living

In our industry, sustainability and responsible living mean using eco-friendly materials and manufacturing processes to reduce environmental impact, ensuring healthier sleeping environments for our customers.

Plastic Pollution

Plastic is widely used, with over 40% discarded after one use, often turning into harmful microplastics. Efforts to combat this include avoiding single-use plastics and recycling. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, containing 1.8 trillion plastic pieces, has inspired projects like the Plastic Fish Tower and Recycled Island, which aim to recycle ocean plastic into fish farms and floating islands. Kinetic Islands suggests using this plastic to build a floating city.

Clear Rivers is a not-for-profit organization tackling the plastic pollution crisis by catching river plastics before they reach the open waters, organizing cleanups, and educational workshops, and recycling the retrieved litter into new durable products. ​
Social media is buzzing about 'Goby The Fish,' a beach sculpture in Malpe, India. Created by sculptor Janardhan Havanje, this 10ft tall, 8ft wide iron and plastic installation highlights the impact of plastic pollution on marine life.
The Plastic Fish Tower is a futuristic concept that uses negative pressure to collects plastic from the plastic soup in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. ​ The goal is to process the plastic on site.​
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a major environmental issue. To address it, the "7th Continent – Kinetic Islands" project proposes a massive floating farm and resort in the North-east Pacific Ocean, designed to manage and reduce plastic waste.
