Every mattress or box spring that enters our plant for upcycling is first inspected for contamination, and immediately removed from our facility at any hint of it. We completely seal our mattresses with a tape edge process, so it is impenetrable and protected from bed bugs. We add a unique step not taken even by premium mattress manufacturers, making sure every box spring is entirely encased and sealed in plastic, thus bed bug proof, before the final upholstering. We also apply the industry’s leading antimicrobial sanitizing agent to our products.

As an added preventive measure, our plant is periodically inspected by a team of dogs specially trained to detect bed bugs. CMC is the only mattress upcycler that takes this step. And we’ve never failed a canine inspection.

Each CMC mattress complies with federal consumer safety laws. The federal standard for flammability under open flames—such as a house fire—applies to all mattresses, whether new, imported or upcycled. All our products are manufactured based on a tested prototype that complies with the fire-retardant code (16 CFR Part 1633) and is recognized by labs such as Underwriters’ Laboratory and SGS. Documentation is available upon request.  We also meet the federal cigarette ignition flammability standard (16 CFR Part 1632).

Our environmental stewardship extends to our workplace, where we use electric-powered forklifts instead of gas, to achieve zero emissions. Lighting throughout our factory is sensor-activated LED. Our skilled artisans stitch and assemble our mattresses and box springs, without significant use of automated machinery.
