What importance do NF Environment and Oeko-tex^® standards hold?

Oeko-tex^® Certification

The Oeko-tex^® label is awarded by an association comprising 18 independent research institutes in Europe and Japan, dedicated to promoting impeccable quality and environmental responsibility within the textile and leather industries. Through rigorous and increasingly advanced testing methods, Oeko-tex^® actively contributes to innovation in textile production, ensuring that products meet the strictest requirements.

In the hospitality sector, where the quality of bed linen and textiles is essential for providing an exceptional customer experience, Oeko-tex^® certification guarantees that every product complies with high standards of safety and sustainability. This label is synonymous with trust, both for hospitality professionals and for customers seeking textiles free from harmful substances. By choosing Oeko-tex^® certified products, such as the Sweet Bed™ by ibis, you invest in items that contribute to a healthy environment while offering optimal comfort, thus ensuring quality sleep.

What Does This Imply for Certified Products?
