What OEKO-TEX Actually Means (And Why It Matters)

OEKO-TEX certified bedding

More Than a Marketing Label

You've probably seen the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 badge on our products. But what does it actually mean?

OEKO-TEX Standard 100 is one of the world's most rigorous independent testing and certification systems for textiles. Every component of the product — fabric, thread, buttons, zips — is tested for over 100 harmful substances.

What's Tested

  • Formaldehyde levels
  • Heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury)
  • Pesticide residues
  • Allergenic dyes
  • pH value (skin-safe range)

This matters because you spend 6–8 hours a night with your face pressed against your bedding. We think you deserve to know exactly what's in it.
