GOTS-Certified Bedding and Natural Materials at billerbeck

Organic range: certified natural materials for natural sleeping comfort

Natural materials, traceable origin and recognised certifications play an important role in selected billerbeck bedding products.

Our Organic range includes duvets, pillows, neck support pillows, toppers and mattresses. Depending on the specific product, GOTS-certified natural materials and other certified components are used.

We consider it important to communicate transparently which materials are used and which certifications actually apply to each individual product.

Down and feathers with traceable origin

Defined requirements relating to quality, origin and animal welfare also apply to down and feathers used by billerbeck.

The down and feathers we use are certified according to different standards depending on the product. These include RDS, DOWNPASS, GOTS and, for selected products, the BLUE ANGEL.

For appropriately certified down and feathers, the requirements of the respective standard apply to origin, traceability and animal welfare. Live-plucking and down or feathers from animals used for foie gras production are excluded under the relevant standards.

The certification applicable to a specific product is stated directly with that product.

Organic range with GOTS certification

The billerbeck Organic range has existed since 2015 and includes, among other products:

• duvets
• pillows
• neck support pillows
• toppers
• mattresses

For appropriately labelled products, the requirements of the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) apply.

GOTS defines requirements for textiles made from organically produced natural fibres and also includes environmental and social criteria for their processing.

License Number: GOTS-17665 BCS-24683

What does GOTS mean for bedding products?

The Global Organic Textile Standard defines binding requirements for certified textile products.

Depending on the product and certification level, these include:

• defined minimum proportions of certified organic fibres
• requirements for material processing
• specifications for chemical substances used
• requirements for environmental management within certified processing
• social criteria within the scope of the standard
• requirements for labelling and traceability

GOTS distinguishes between different labelling grades. A product may only be promoted as GOTS-certified if the finished product is certified accordingly and labelled correctly.

Vegan neck support pillow COSINECK® NATURE

The COSINECK® NATURE neck support pillow combines selected natural materials with an individually adjustable design.

The three-part core can be adapted to personal requirements, allowing individual adjustment of neck support.

GOTS-certified materials are used in this product in accordance with the respective product labelling.

Depending on the specific component, further certifications such as Cradle to Cradle Certified® or Rainforest Alliance may also apply to the natural latex or other materials used. The decisive factor is always the actual scope of the current certification.

What does Cradle to Cradle Certified® mean?

Cradle to Cradle Certified® is a product standard under which products are assessed according to defined criteria.

The current full-scope standard considers, among other things, material health, product circularity and additional environmental and social criteria. The certification level and scope always apply to the specifically certified product.

A Cradle to Cradle certification should therefore not be presented as general proof that a product is entirely “environmentally friendly” or “sustainable”. The relevant criteria and the actual certification level are decisive.

Vegan organic cotton duvet COSICOTTON NATURE

The vegan COSICOTTON NATURE duvet uses cotton from certified organic cultivation.

The filling is made from organic cotton. The cover is also made from soft batiste produced from organic cotton.

The duvet therefore combines natural materials with the certification requirements stated for the specific product.

Transparent and product-specific certification

Different standards and certifications are used at billerbeck depending on the product.

These may include:

• GOTS
• Responsible Down Standard (RDS)
• DOWNPASS
• BLUE ANGEL
• Cradle to Cradle Certified®
• further material- or product-specific certifications and evidence

A certification is communicated only for the product, material or component for which the relevant proof actually exists.

A single certification or positive characteristic of one material is not automatically applied to the entire product, product range or company.

This enables customers to understand which materials are used and which certifications actually apply to the respective billerbeck product.
