Last year’s beg bug scare led many of us to examine that overlooked daily companion, our mattress. But Michael Penny was way ahead of most of us — he made it his life’s work to create a healthy, comfortable, organic and non-toxic mattress as an alternative to conventional ones.
What would lead a yoga-practicing, organic-food-eating marathon runner to start a mattress company? He couldn’t sleep. Michael had insomnia, ironically at its worst while he was working for a futon company. In part, what he’d learned about materials and practices in the mattress industry was keeping him awake. So he resolved to create a new kind of mattress company that offered a new level of quality and service. In 2003, The Savvy Sleeper opened in Charlottesville, Virginia, drawing customers from as far away as Baltimore and North Carolina.
Finding an organic mattress to sell was a tall order. Even the biggest companies in the “natural mattress” niche were using only some organic materials, or making mattresses that weren’t very comfortable. So Michael and his team decided to make their own.
Toxic chemicals are used widely in the mattress industry today, and their long-term effects are worrisome. All Savvy Rest Organic Mattresses are made of natural Dunlop or Talalay latex rubber, with durable casings of certified organic wool and certified organic cotton. Customers can choose very firm, very soft, or anything in between for their Savvy Rest Mattress, with differing firmness on each side. And a natural latex mattress performs consistently for decades—Savvy Rest Organic Mattresses offers a 20-year warranty on their mattresses.
Savvy Rest offers its customers three ways to shop: in person at an authorized dealer, online or over the phone. Their website walks customers through the basics of mattress shopping, and delves into the benefits of chemical-free mattresses and how to fit a mattress to provide customized comfort that’s best for you.
The Savvy Rest commitment to its customers is based on four tenets: purity, comfort, integrity and value. From a few trend-setting retailers just a few years ago, they now have a large network of over 60 independently-owned dealers across the states who have responded to Savvy Rest’s reputation for quality, integrity and service.

At Carbonfund.org, we love to highlight the great work that our 
partners are doing. I want to introduce our new “Better Know a Partner” series where we dive into what our partners do and how they’re fighting global warming. This week, I spoke with Mambo Sprouts.

What steps has Mambo Sprouts taken to “Reduce What You Can, Offset What You Can’t”?
We have used Carbonfund.org to offset the bus mileage of our Go Mambo! tours and our national business travel. We also use biodegradable bags, recycled paper and folders. We even donate used paper to a pre-school for reuse. Mambo has also eliminated using envelops for our quarterly mailing and started printing with soy ink.
What’s your favorite healthy living tip?
Eating healthy and organic doesn’t have to be expensive. There are so many ways to save on these types of products with Mambo coupons. A combination of our coupons and the correct planning can really help when budgeting for your shopping trip.
Why did you partner with Carbonfund.org?
Mambo Sprouts partnered with Carbonfund.org in an effort to reduce the carbon footprint of our Go Mambo! mobile sampling tours. We are proud to feature the Carbonfund.org logo on our vans as they travel regionally each year. Carbonfund.org has made it possible to make our tours CarbonFree® by offsetting the CO2 emitted by the vans and crew travel.
