At first glance, sustainable legs might seem irrelevant. But, did you know that many beds on the market use wood or metal legs that ship in containers from Asia to Europe? Videung is the first bed producer in the world to create a fully recyclable, locally produced, 3D-printed leg design made out of material that otherwise becomes waste. The 3D-thread used is made out of Addnite, which is produced in Lövånger, Sweden. If the legs, for some reason, become no longer needed, the metal is easily detached from the 3D-printed material and our local 3D-printing facility provides the service of recycling them into completely new products for the market.

Our bottom module is a solid wood frame that has modularity and circularity integrated in every inch of its design. It is made of <99.9% robust Swedish pine and due to the material choice, the construction, and the modular design, it may be passed on for generations. No springs are glued or fixed to the frame and the slats are detachable.

With the impressive height of 18cm, this massive pine tree frame will last a lifetime. Additional stability is given to the construction by using a cornering technique called ”Laxknut”, which dates back in the Nordic regions to year 800. For it to be possible to turn a single bed into a double bed we use a classic Japanese butterfly joinery technique – keeping the product clean for future recycling. If, for some reason, the bottom module is no longer needed, the velcro is easily detached from the frame and may then be recycled as a clean wood product at your local recycling facility.

For the bottom comfort layer we use 100% natural rubber and Hairlok. It is a natural latex blend with horsehair and has outstanding pressure relief and ventilation properties. Animal hair is normally discarded as waste, but instead we let this wonderful material give a new purpose in life. This layer is integrated in the design of the bottom module but detachable for modular and circular capabilities. If, for some reason, the product is no longer needed it can be mechanically recycled and chemically downcycled.

For the core of the bed, we use 100% natural rubber, which is harvested and refined from the milk-like sap of a rubber tree called Hevea Brasiliensis. This particular type of rubber is renowned for its resilience, flexibility, and durability, making it an ideal material for creating a supportive and comfortable sleeping surface. The process of harvesting the sap, also known as latex, involves making careful incisions on the tree's bark, allowing the sap to be collected without harming the tree itself.

This sustainable practice ensures that the rubber trees remain productive for years, contributing to the environmental benefits of using natural rubber. Once collected, the latex is then processed through a series of steps to remove impurities and achieve the desired consistency before being molded into the bed's core. This meticulous refinement process not only enhances the material's natural properties but also ensures that the bed is free from synthetic chemicals and harmful substances, offering a healthier environment for sleepers. By choosing natural rubber for our bed cores, we are committed to providing a product that not only delivers exceptional comfort and support but also aligns with our values of sustainability and eco-friendliness.

The core is certified with Oeko-tex standard 100 classification and EuroLatex ECO Standard.
It is also LGA tested for durability and FSC certified.

For our detachable cover, we use a design weave made entirely out of recycled materials . The cover can be changed when needed and this is one of reasons why a Videung bed can change from a single to a double bed and still have its sleek, inviting design. The comfort mirror on top of the design cover is made out of 50% Recycled PES, 48% Viscose and 2% Elastane. We are currently looking into two improvements connected to sustainability, which will alter the composition without affecting the feel or quality of the product, and also integrate a special thread for sewing the product together so that recycling is easier. Tests are currently in progress.

Our topper adds an exceptional final touch to the bed and is unique for the mattress industry. We use a high-tech foam with Oeko-tex Standard 100 certificate which combines a supporting, pressure-reducing effect with the elasticity of natural latex. It has an open cell structure with great ventilation properties. The fast recovery time ensures that your body will not lose energy when you turn during the night. As a result, it offers a very specific level of comfort and feels as if you are floating. The 4cm sheet is wrapped in a detachable and quilted bamboo viscose stretch cover.
