Making a sustainable difference, one bed at a time
Sustainability at Bed-Stay
Sustainability has been at the heart of Bed-Stay from the very beginning. Driving every decision, from materials to transport.
It all started in 2015, when Gorinchem, in the Netherlands, faced a housing shortage for refugees. Peter Vogel, who knew a thing or two about tents, devised a clever solution: building enclosed beds out of leftover warehouse materials, complete with curtains for privacy. That's how the Bed-Stay concept was born.
From the very start, we've designed our beds to be reused again and again as temporary, private structures, making a real difference for the environment and all sorts of people in all sorts of places.
Our Sustainable Practises in Action
We’re ISO 9001 and 14001 certified
we guarantee consistent quality in our products and services
Our product life cycle is extremly long
due to our materials our beds are built to last and made for decades of use without needing replacement
We upcycle damaged sails to give them a second life
into storage bags for our beds - additionaly, we're also exploring cradle-to-cradle recycling solutions for our sail materials
Our damaged plastic couplings are repurposed as foot supports
they have a low 1% failure rate and will never be discarded when damaged as we will repurpose them back into our products
Optimised transport format
Our
are built for maximum transport efficiency, reducing CO₂ emissions and ensuring cost-effective and sustainable delivery.
We ensure 24-hour availability of beds at various locations in Europe
With locations across Europe, we source your bed locally, reducing transportation and its environmental footprint.
We’re your sustainability partner
We inspire our partners to join us in making a sustainable difference across the value chain.
How Sustainability is Woven into our Processes
Sustainability isn't a project, it's how we work
Every choice we make, from material to transport route, is tested against the same question: can this last longer, create less impact, or be reused? That isn't a separate initiative alongside our work, it's the way we develop every one of our sleeping solutions.
