In Switzerland, up to a million mattresses are disposed of in waste incineration every year. This enormous wear and tear shocked Joel Hügli from Bern. As a researcher and product designer, he took on the problem and looked for evidence-based design solutions that enable a combination of optimal sleeping comfort and a low ecological footprint. After years of development and a lot of support, ecomade (abbreviation for ecological mattress design) was born. A Swiss startup that works with local partners to make your bedroom a little more sustainable.
