Brentwood Home — My Green Goodiebag

Brentwood Home makes mattresses, pillows, sheets, and yoga cushions greener by using natural, recycled, and innovative materials for greater comfort, performance, and sustainability. Founded in Los Angeles in 1987, Brentwood home products are certified to GOTS organic and FSC® sustainability standards.

Brentwood Home dedicated to doing what it can to be as sustainable as possible. The label has worked with Climate Neutral to measure its carbon footprint across every scope of the business, from the factory and material production to logistics and shipping. The factory is powered with 100% renewable energy and the rest is 100% offset. Brentwood is an Avocado Green Brands business and is the only Fair Trade® certified mattress factory in the USA.

Materials used in Brentwood Home´s products are all carefully chosen and are the best in sustainability at this moment:

memory foams formulated with up to 20% BioFoam®. BioFoam® is a patented biological foam made in the United States from vegetable materials, such as corn, sunflower seeds, castor oil beans, and soybeans. BioFoam received a Cradle to Cradle® Certification™, a globally recognized measure of safer, more sustainable products. Using BioFoam® does not mean that the memory foam is now a natural product. It isn't. However, it does represent an improvement over traditional memory foams. Some of the memory foams are even infused with activated charcoal. All are CertiPUR-US® certified.
the company’s 100% natural latex is GOLS certified organic (CU861640), eco-INSTITUT®, FSC® (C156319), and Rainforest Alliance certified. It’s a natural and renewable resource. The latex mattress cores are sourced from the label´s own rubber forests and processing facilities in India and Guatemala. They're made by tapping Hevea Brasilienesis — known as “rubber trees." The white sap is collected in cups, then frothed and baked with steam to create a durable core.
GOTS certified organic (CU861640) wool, sourced from Brentwood´s own farms in the Himalayas, and cleaned without chemicals in the facility in central India. Ethically sourced, it has received the Responsible Wool Standard from Textile Exchange®, which addresses the welfare of sheep and the land they graze on. The label´s wool is naturally breathable, wicks and absorbs water, and helps keep you cooler than any synthetic fiber. It’s also a natural and renewable resource.
About 95% of the world's cotton relies on synthetic fertilizers, harmful pesticides, and chemical additives that damage ecosystems — and our own health. Brentwood´s GOTS certified organic (CU861640) and Fair Trade® certified cotton is produced and certified to higher agricultural standards that restrict the use of toxic chemicals. This is better for farmers and our environment. Organic cotton also uses up to 90% less water than conventional cotton. Plus, it just feels better — it’s more breathable and has a gentler feel.
Billions of plastic bottles go into landfills — and our oceans — every year. REPREVE® is an innovative material that harnesses used plastic bottles to create a recycled polyester performance fabric. It’s durable, soft, and breathable — the material is used for activewear, swimwear, and outerwear. By using REPREVE®, fewer greenhouse gas emissions are produced and less energy and water is used compared to manufacturing virgin synthetic fibers.
Coconut fiber has been used for thousands of years. Brentwood´s coconut fiber is made from the fruit's husk. It's lightly mixed with organic latex, pressed, and then baked to form a durable, yet airy core. No chemicals are used. Due to its resistance to moisture and incredible breathability, mold or mildew will not grow. It is ideally suited as a core layer or pad to support innersprings, or to buffer layers of latex and wool.
Flax is one of the most sustainable natural fibers in the world. This beautiful, durable fiber — one of the oldest cultivated plants in human history — is derived from a blue flowering annual. It’s a hardy, renewable resource that grows with little water in even the harshest of environments. Flax seed fiber is inherently eco-friendly and hardy, requiring sunshine and almost no water to thrive. It literally consumes carbon dioxide. One hectare of flax can absorb more than a 3.7 metric tons of CO2 and convert it into oxygen.
Brentwood upcycles denim scraps — the byproduct from the production of new cotton denim jeans — to create a support layer that is natural, breathable, and reduces waste. This recycled denim pad is a high-performance thermoregulating material. It keeps your mattress airy and cool and is free from volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which contribute to indoor air pollution.
Most of Brentwoord´s popular yoga cushions are filled with 100% natural buckwheat hulls. Buckwheat is a natural material that's actually not a wheat or grain. The hulls are small and sturdy. We use “fluffy” buckwheat, which means our hulls have been steam-cleaned and dusted. They are a wonderfully supportive and breathable. When used as a fill, their size and odd shape allows the hulls to move around easily, adjusting to your body and providing support right where it's needed. And of course, they are natural, renewable, and biodegradable.
Spring coils have been used in mattresses for decades, serving those who are looking for a traditional mattress support system. Steel is also sustainable — it's 100% recyclable, the most recycled material in the world. We use recycled steel wire of various gauges in the production of our pocketed innerspring units — essential to our hybrid mattress designs. Encasing coils individually and thoughtfully placing them in 5 zones improve this classic sleep experience by providing distinct and precise support.
Charcoal is a natural material full of beneficial properties that are perfect for mattresses and pillows, like temperature and moisture control. It helps keep you dry, cool, and comfortable — all night long. Brentwood´s activated charcoal-infused, high-density memory foam helps facilitate a cooler sleep environment, using open-cell technology and purifying activated charcoal to draw heat and moisture away from the body and prevent hot spots.
TENCEL® is a soft, versatile fiber made from wood pulp. The manufacturing process is complex: wood is harvested from sustainably managed sources, treated with solvents in a closed-loop system, where it is dissolved, before being dried, extruded, and ultimately spun into yarn and woven into cloth. Because it’s plant-based, it’s biodegradable.

Brentwood uses the RCS (Recycled Claim Standard) to track recycled raw materials through their supply chain. The RCS verifies the presence and amount of recycled material in the final products, with third-party chain-of-custody verification of recycled material content claims on the products. The Global Recycle Standard (GRS) is similar, but applies to full products and vets social and environmental practices and chemical restrictions. Brentwood Home is currently finalizing both standards

As part of Avocado Green Brands, Brentwood is the first home and bedding brand to achieve the UL Environment Landfill Waste Diversion Validation, on its journey toward Zero Waste. The UL standard requires at least 90% diversion through methods other than waste to energy. Products achieving the GREEDGUARD Gold Certification are scientifically proven (with testing in environmental chambers) to meet some of the world's most rigorous, third-party chemical emissions standards, helping to reduce indoor air pollution and the risk of chemical exposure, while aiding in the creation of healthier indoor environments. Nearly all Brentwood Home products have achieved this gold standard.

The Crystal Cove Yoga Collection is 100% Certified Vegan by Vegan Action®. This means the products are free from animal products (like feathers, wool, and down) or byproducts that have been tested on animals. If you practice a vegan lifestyle, you can rest assured that your Crystal Cove products are aligned with your values. The company is also committed to planting more than 10,000 trees within the U.S. with the National Forest Foundation and works with Relief Bed to support those experiencing homelessness in our community.
