Mattress maker Leesa Sleep develops plant-based foam
In Arizona, mattress maker Leesa Sleep has introduced GreenFlex® Foam, a plant-based polyols foam developed entirely in-house. Most foam mattresses on the market rely entirely on petroleum-derived materials. GreenFlex foam is produced from crops grown on marginal land, and unlike typical soy‑based biobased foams that use only about 14% of the plant’s oil, GreenFlex delivers a fully usable polyol with no chemical conversion required, capturing roughly 45% of the oil extracted from the plant.
“GreenFlex is proof that you don’t have to choose between sleeping well and doing right by the planet,” said Jen Pressley, Head of Leesa. “We engineered this from the ground up in our own facility, which gives us full control over the quality, the supply chain, and the environmental impact.”
