Our Blog

We have all been made aware that our planet is suffering and we need to make changes in our lifestyles to help resolve this issue. Climate change and the huge issue that overuse of plastic is causing to planet Earth is real, and we all need to contribute towards forcing change.

There are many ways one can contribute to make a change. We have all heard of the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle slogan and (hopefully) many of us have already started to make changes such as recycling waste, opting for reusable items instead of single-use disposable products or even perhaps using a more environmentally-friendly mode of transport. But did you know that your choice of home furniture could also help contribute towards this change for the better?

At FORM, we believe that if retailers don’t offer alternative products, then it’s even harder for the consumers to make a change. This is why we offer an increasing range of products made of either recycled materials or all natural products which have no chemicals or synthetic materials that will take years to decompose once disposed of.

Dunlopillo natural latex mattresses

Dunlopillo mattresses are made from latex, a sap that is tapped from the rubber tree, the same sap used to produce vehicle tyres, tennis balls, surgical gloves and many other useful products. The Dunlopillo Latex foam mattress was invented by the Dunlop Rubber company in 1929 and has provided superior sleep support and comfort to millions of users around the world ever since. The resilience of natural latex is what makes the mattress respond immediately to every body movement over and over again for years providing the right support needed to guarantee sleep comfort.

Coco-lat mattresses

Environmentally friendly Dunlop natural latex, which is vegetal in nature, is now being complemented by other 100% vegetal materials to enhance the sleep experience in our soon to be launched COCO-LAT mattress collection.

Processed fibers from coconuts, sisal and other vegetal materials combine with natural latex to provide additional benefits. One particular benefit is superior ventilation which is so important during sleep, especially in our Mediterranean humid climate. The contribution of natural latex layers with layers of vegetal fibres also provides alternative firmness levels.

Avail yourself of our limited introductory offers for the COCO-LAT hybrid mattress line up on a first come first served basis, now available from The Bed Boutique at FORM.

All Dunlopillo and Coco-lat mattresses and pillows are 100% recyclable and biodegradable.

Ocean Protect pillows and quilts by Mash®

Did you know that 1 person uses an average of 84 kilos of plastic per year and only 30% of this plastic is recycled? Every year 8,000,000 tons of plastic are dumped into the oceans. For this reason, one of our pillows and quilts suppliers, Mash® have created a new range of pillows and duvets called Ocean Protect, that actively help to reduce damage to our oceans and beaches. The fibre is produced from 100% plastic collected on beaches and seas, that has been recycled and provides the same comfort and thermal capacity as non-recycled fibre. The Ocean Protect fibre pillows and duvets produced from recycled ocean plastic provides improved air circulation and are soft and pleasant to the touch.
