What is NIVA®?

Peace of mind for you and your customers 

 

 

Comfort and well-being

By combining the various NIVA® foam grades in a mattress, excellent pressure distribution and ergonomic stability can be achieved while providing optimal body support with a soft, comfortable feeling. Thanks to their homogeneous and open-cell pore structure, NIVA® foams also offer high air permeability and good moisture wicking properties resulting in a pleasant and dry sleeping sensation.

 

Health and safety

NIVA® foams are produced without any addition of TCPP flame retardants and fulfil the requirements of the CertiPUR® standard. All foams in the NIVA® product family meet the stringent British fire retardancy criteria, in particular CRIB 5 (Ignition Source 5) standards which are legally required for use in mattresses and beds.

 

Performance

NIVA® foams have been thoroughly tested for dynamic fatigue. They are proven to be very robust due to their permanent material stability, thus providing consistently high comfort over many years. By design, NIVA® foams are optimised for use in rolled mattresses. Their good compression and fast recovery behaviour make them ideally suited for e-commerce bedding products such as ‘bed in a box’ mattresses.

 

Sustainability

Recticel has always worked alongside its partners in a highly competitive mattress market. We help them to comply with their regulatory and environmental targets, ensuring that all our solutions form part of a clearly defined and comprehensive sustainability strategy. NIVA® represents an important step in our ongoing sustainability journey, which focuses strongly on people and innovation. While fostering sustainable partnerships, we strive to reduce the safety and environmental impact of our activities, processes and products, driven by societal needs.
