As well as being an NBF multi-award winner, Mattress Online is also an official National Bed Federation Retail Champion!
To achieve this, Mattress Online’s first brick-and-mortar store - The Bed Shop in Rotherham - met the NBF’s criteria of stocking at least 50% of beds made by NBF-accredited manufacturers in an independent audit.
Through our excellent service and exceptional range of products, we remain dedicated to meeting and exceeding the NBF’s criteria both in-store and online.
Our relationship with the NBF
We are proud of the close relationship we have fostered with the NBF and its advisory board.
Since first entering the NBF in 2014, our CEO, Steve Adams, has become a regular judge on the NBF’s panel of experts and now works closely with industry figureheads on the NBF’s Advisory Board.
Steve’s journey with the NBF has led him to become a key advocate for sustainability within the mattress and bed industry. Working on the NBF’s Retail Advisory Board and with industry experts, Steve and the NBF team are currently focussing on mattress recycling within the circular economy as part of their ‘NBF Green’ initiative. This includes working with Zero Waste Scotland the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA).
Steve works with DEFRA and Zero Waste Scotland to protect rural sustainability and British agriculture and improve the sustainability of the mattress and beds industry at large.
