Synthetic textiles – a reliable choice for better sleep comfort

Choosing the right textiles for your bed is about more than style. It’s about long-lasting comfort, a healthy sleeping environment, and materials that are better for both you and the planet. That’s why we choose exclusive synthetic textiles – modern, high‑performance materials designed to improve your sleep.

Moisture management that works – just like in sportswear

Just like the high‑tech fabrics used in sports and outdoor clothing, synthetic materials offer exceptional moisture transport and dry quickly. Cotton, on the other hand, absorbs moisture, becomes wet, and can feel cold and uncomfortable. The same principle also applies to your bed and sleeping environment. Synthetic textiles draw moisture away from the body more efficiently, dry faster, and help maintain a more stable, balanced temperature throughout the night.

Clean, fresh and practical – washable at 60°C

Dust mites are found in every home and thrive especially well in the bed, where it is warm, dark, and humid. To remove dust mites and ensure a clean and healthy sleeping environment, bed textiles need to be washed at 60°C. Our synthetic textiles are designed specifically for this. They withstand washing at 60°C, allowing you to easily maintain a clean, fresh and hygienic sleep environment.

Long-lasting quality – comfort that lasts

Our exclusive synthetic textiles are carefully engineered to keep their shape and deliver consistent comfort over time. They resist pilling, hold their structure, and endure far more wear than many natural fibres. Durable textiles mean fewer replacements, less waste – making them a more sustainable choice in the long run.

A robust textile construction

Not all synthetic textiles are the same. Textiles made from short fibres, such as fleece, shed fibres more easily and therefore release higher levels of microplastics during use and washing. Our bed textiles, however, are made from long, continuous fibres that create a highly stable and robust textile construction. This makes the textiles exceptionally durable and ensures minimal microfibre release compared with textiles made from short fibres.

A responsible material choice

Synthetic textiles require significantly less water to produce than many natural alternatives. For comparison, producing one kilo of polyester uses around 60 litres of water, while cotton production requires as much as 10,000–20,000 litres per kilo of textile. Our synthetic HARMOLAN textile takes responsibility even further. With innovative production technology, it can be made entirely without water – significantly reducing resource use. We also actively work to use recycled synthetic fibres whenever possible, giving materials a new life in products designed to last. A choice that’s good for you, your sleep and the planet.

HARMOLAN – a textile that gives more with less

HARMOLAN is a durable and long‑lasting textile with a strong environmental profile. It is made from polypropylene – a synthetic material derived from residual by‑products, produced without the use of water and with low energy consumption.

Long‑lasting quality

HARMOLAN is naturally dirt‑ and water‑repellent, helping it maintaining both appearance and performance exceptionally well over time. Because the colour is added before the fibres are spun, the textile retains its colour longer than many other fabrics. In addition, Wonderland’s textiles are removable and can be washed at 60°C, making maintenance easy and further extending the lifespan of the bed.

Upcycling of residual materials

HARMOLAN is made from polypropylene sourced from residual by‑products in the petrochemical industry. A previously unused by‑product is refined into small pellets that are melted, coloured and spun into new textile fibres. In this way, waste materials gain new life, reducing the need for virgin resources.

Produced entirely without water

While other textile materials require large amounts of water in production, HARMOLAN is made entirely without water. For comparison, polyester uses around 60 litres of water per kilo of textile, while cotton requires as much as 10,000–20,000 litres per kilo.

Low energy consumption

HARMOLAN is produced at low temperatures, resulting in significantly lower energy use than many other textile fibres.

A choice with lower environmental impact

With HARMOLAN, you choose a textile that combines low environmental impact with high performance: less water, less energy – more quality and more responsibility.

EPD – documentation of a product’s environmental footprint

An EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) gives you comparable information about a product’s total environmental impact – from raw materials to the finished product and through to end of life. The document is third‑party verified and follows international standards, ensuring that the data is accurate and transparent.

We are working systematically to develop EPDs for all our components. A selection of our beds and products will be published on EPD Global – an important step in our commitment to increased transparency, solid documentation, and responsible material choices.

CertiPUR certified foam – Norwegian quality you can trust

When you choose a bed or mattress with SkyTex®, Welun or Hyperflex, you get a locally produced product, made right next to our Wonderland factory in Åndalsnes, Norway.

All our foam materials are certified by CertiPUR, which sets strict requirements for the material’s contents. The materials are tested annually by independent laboratories to ensure they continue to meet all standards for health, safety, and quality.

A good choice that gives you more comfort. More control. More locally produced materials.

FSC-certified wood – a responsible choice

Wonderland is FSC-certified. This means we choose timber from forests that are managed responsibly in line with the requirements of FSC (Forest Stewardship Council). The certification ensures traceability in the supply chain and that the wood comes from sustainable and controlled forestry.

Wonderland’s FSC certification currently applies to all bottom frames for continental beds and boxsprings, all headboards, and our wooden legs. We are actively working to ensure that all wooden components become FSC-certified – an important step in our commitment to responsible material choices.

Reversible mattresses – lasting comfort, year after year

A mattress should offer the same level of comfort, support, and quality throughout its lifetime. With a reversible design, your mattress stays comfortable for longer and helps your bed maintain its performance year after year.

Why turning your mattress matters

Every night, the materials in your mattress are exposed to pressure, moisture and temperature changes. By turning the mattress a couple of times a year, you distribute the wear across both sides. This allows the materials to recover, helping the mattress maintain both support and comfort for longer.

A simple routine that makes a big difference

You can turn our mattresses in any direction: rotate the head and foot ends, or turn them over to the other side. A simple routine that provides a more durable and comfortable bed over time.
