Creating the mattress protection category over 40 years ago, Protect-A-Bed® is Sleep Corp's flagship brand and the market leader in mattress, pillow and quilt protection with a focus on innovation, quality and efficacy. Sleep Corp's vision is “supporting people to deal with life’s challenges by unlocking the power of sleep”. Something that we are committed to doing, both ethically and with the environment in mind. Proudly Australian owned and designed, Sleep Corp® manufactures products under the Protect-A-Bed® brand both in Australia and in overseas partner factories. Other brands in the Sleep Corp family include Buddies®, Moonshadow®, Freshotel®, Opossum® and Airley™. Acknowledging that sustainability is a journey that requires a clear focus and ongoing actions, our sustainability council are looking at changes we can make now and into the future across all areas of the business. From how we do things day-to-day, to the raw materials used, product production, packaging and distribution, we are actively pursuing sustainability. Moving to new state-of-the-art facilities, in Melbourne Australia, in late 202,1 gave us the opportunity to begin implementing a number of new processes as part of our Industry 4.0 journey with a focus on reducing our environmental footprint. We are continuing to build on this today. You can read more about some of these in our profile actions and commitments. As a member of APCO (the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation) we have also committed to move all our packaging from PEVA bags to 100% recyclable packaging by 2025, with the first changes already beginning to take place. If you would like to talk to one of our team, please reach out on 1300 857 123, during business hours.
