Responsible Business Journey
Responsible Business Journey
Snooze is committed to ensuring our industry becomes more environmentally sustainable so we can all sleep better at night, knowing we are making a positive contribution towards our planet’s future.
Snooze has a long history of helping Australians get a better night’s sleep. As we walk towards the future, our aim is to keep doing what we do best with an unwavering focus on sustainability.
In every Snooze store, you will find sustainable and thoughtfully made products across our furniture, bedding and linen ranges. We continue to work closely with our suppliers and manufacturers to develop more sustainable products and packaging. We are also partnering with visionary social enterprises and organisations to help find alternative disposal options for pre-loved mattresses.
Ocean Plastic Prevention
Our Suprelle® Blue range of bedding is made with Advansa Suprelle Blue. The fibres used to make this range are made from ocean-bound plastic waste collected exclusively by Plastic Bank®. Plastic Bank builds ethical recycling ecosystems in underprivileged coastal communities, empowering locals by offering premium payment or services in return for collected plastic waste.
Organic Cotton
Our Organic Stone Washed Cotton sheet set and quilt cover set are GOTS certified. GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibres, including ecological and social criteria, backed by independent certification of the entire textile supply chain.
Alpaca Fleece
This is a wonder fibre, combining softness with strength to help provide warmth while being lightweight and eco-friendly. Unlike its wool counterpart, it contains no lanolin, meaning it doesn’t require chemical cleaning after harvesting, and is often a more suitable option for people with sensitivities to wool. Considered a luxury fibre, much like mohair and cashmere, Alpaca also has tiny air pockets that help improve breathability and repel moisture. In short, Alpaca fleece has an extensive range of benefits. Our Alpaca quilts are proudly made in Australia from farm gate to factory floor. The fleece is farmed locally, and the quilt is carefully crafted by an Australian company.
Australian Made
Snooze is passionate about supporting Australian businesses. We are proud to offer a wide range of locally made bedroom furniture, mattresses and bedding while continuing to grow and expand our offering.
The timbers sourced and used in our furniture ranges are PEFC approved and FSC certified.
PEFC stands for the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification which is an international, non-profit, non-governmental organisation. It promotes sustainable forest management through independent third party certification.
The FSC, Forest Stewardship Council, is an international non-profit, multi-stakeholder organisation established in 1993. It promotes responsible management of the worlds forest.
We offer a range of mattresses to nurture growing families as well as indulge those who desire pure luxury. Mattresses made in Australia include Sealy, SleepTailor, Madison and Slumberland.
100% Recyclable Packaging
Our Snooze branded quilts are packaged in FSC-certified cardboard packaging, and our Snooze shopping bags are made from 100% recycled craft paper. In addition to improving the sustainability of our packaging, we partner with manufacturers who supply mattress bags made with 100% LDPE (low-density polyethylene).
