Savvy Rest is a B Corporation, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and good working conditions. It also donates a portion of profits to American Forests, the oldest nonprofit conservation organization in the US, which helps to restore and maintain threatened forest ecosystems across the country and around the globe.
Savvy Rest is also a member of the Carbon Fund, through which they support reforestation along the Mississippi River, a vital habitat for migratory birds. Reforestation is a key part of efforts to mitigate climate change.
In terms of corporate social responsibility, Savvy Rest also have a Safe Sleep Pillows Program, which works to donate new pillows for women and children who arrive at domestic violence shelters across the US. When the new arrivals at these emergency shelters move on to find more permanent housing, they can take their new Savvy Rest pillow with them. This is a remarkable program that Savvy Rest should be very proud of.
Savvy Rest became employee owned in 2012, meaning that staff are more invested in the company’s growth and in customer satisfaction. Employee owned companies tend to create a better experience for employees and for customers.
Savvy Rest doesn’t allow returns unless there’s a manufacturing defect. This is because the company would need to chemically sanitize products for resale, which it isn’t willing to do. While laudable, this avoidance of chemicals isn’t entirely necessary, given there are safe ways to sanitize products and the option of donating returns instead of reselling.
The latter approach is one taken by many other, often smaller, mattress companies.
