From Bottles to Beds: The Reprieve Thread Story and How We're Creating a Zero-Waste Mattress

by Chris Silva

When you think of a mattress, you might picture cloud-like comfort, supportive layers, and deep, restorative sleep. At Haven, we picture something more  a mattress that doesn’t just help you rest, but also helps the planet rest easier.

Our mission is simple yet ambitious: to craft the most comfortable, durable, and eco-conscious mattresses in Canada. And one of our proudest innovations in that mission is our use of REPREVE® thread a high-performance fibre made from recycled plastic bottles. It’s the perfect example of how sustainable design can also be luxurious, durable, and beautiful.


Turning Plastic Waste into Premium Comfort

Every year, billions of plastic bottles end up in landfills and oceans. These bottles take hundreds of years to break down, polluting ecosystems and harming wildlife along the way. REPREVE® helps tackle this crisis by transforming those discarded bottles into high-quality fibres.

At Haven, we incorporate REPREVE® thread into our mattress covers. This means your bed isn’t just a place for sweet dreams  it’s a place where sustainability and innovation meet.

  • Waste Diverted: Each Haven mattress cover made with REPREVE® thread keeps dozens of bottles out of landfills.

  • Performance-Driven: REPREVE® isn’t just eco-friendly; it’s engineered for strength, flexibility, and long-term wear, ensuring your mattress cover stays comfortable and beautiful for years.

  • Soft and Breathable: Despite its recycled origins, REPREVE® feels luxurious to the touch, offering the softness you expect from premium bedding materials.


Zero-Waste is the Goal

Our use of REPREVE® is part of a bigger picture  creating a zero-waste mattress. This means considering every component of our products, from plant-based foams to water-based adhesives, and ensuring nothing goes to waste in our manufacturing process.

Because our mattresses are made-to-order in Canada, we avoid mass production waste, reduce transportation emissions, and ensure only the materials needed for your specific mattress are used. This approach sets us apart from competitors like Endy, whose mass-manufactured polyester covers lack the same level of eco-conscious sourcing and traceable impact.


Why Haven Chose REPREVE® Over Conventional Polyester

We could have chosen cheaper, mass-produced polyester for our covers — like many mattress brands do. But we know polyester production from virgin materials contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, microplastic pollution, and heavy reliance on fossil fuels.

REPREVE® is different. It reduces energy use, conserves water, and emits fewer greenhouse gases during production compared to virgin polyester. Most importantly, it gives a second life to materials that would otherwise pollute our planet.


Comfort Without Compromise

Some people hear “recycled” and think “rough” or “less comfortable.” Not here. Our skilled Canadian craftspeople sew REPREVE® into our natural bamboo quilted covers, blending sustainability with a naturally cool, breathable sleep surface.

The result? A cover that’s:

  • Durable enough to last years without pilling or tearing

  • Soft and smooth against your skin

  • Naturally moisture-wicking and temperature regulating


A Better Sleep for You  and the Planet

When you choose a Haven mattress, you’re investing in more than just better sleep. You’re joining a movement toward responsible, sustainable living. With REPREVE® thread, we’re proving that luxury and sustainability can go hand-in-hand and that even something as personal as your mattress can make a global difference.

So the next time you tuck in at night, remember: the comfort you’re feeling isn’t just good for you it’s good for the planet, too.
