OEKO-TEX® What is it & why should you care?

We want you to love your bedding, and we believe loving your bedding includes feeling good about how it was manufactured.

Manufacturers in the textile market are always developing new production processes to mitigate expenses while delivering greater value to customers. However, unless the proper precautions are followed, these production systems can lead to a veritable tide of safety issues that negatively impact our communities and planet. Fortunately, there are international entities that test and certify textile products to ensure customers understand which companies are bringing the best product to market.

Bokser Home is passionate about connecting you with all of the information and resources you need to understand and find the best products in the ever-changing world of home textiles.

The OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100

OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 is a certification system that tests textile products to prove they are safe from harmful levels of toxic substances from exposure during product manufacturing. Testing is important because the safety of textiles cannot be determined from visual inspection alone. Products that carry the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 label gives consumers confidence about product safety.

OEKO-TEX® is a coalition of 18 independent textile test and research institutes with offices spanning the world. The association utilizes a wide range of testing types and certifications for textile products to guarantee that prospective customers understand all aspects of what they’re about to purchase.
