Keetsa Introduces... The Keetsa Mattress!

When I realized several days ago that I hadn't been spending enough time on one of my favorite green trend blogs, Keetsa, I returned to see rumblings about a Keetsa-developed and retailed eco-friendly mattress, made out of "Green Tea Memory Foam!"

Check it out, here's what they say about the mattresses in their Store Preview:

" These are great mattresses. They all come with “Green Tea Memory Foam”, which has Green Tea extracts to keep the mattress smelling fresh and you can benefit from Green Tea extracts. There’s also “NanoSilver” technology which kills bacteria. The best feature is that all the mattresses have cedar oil which keep spiders, moths, and other bugs away.

How are our mattresses eco-friendly?

First, we use 100% recycled steel for the springs and more than 75% of all the mattresses are made from recycled or recycle-able materials. Cool huh?

Another way we plan to cut the carbon footprint is by having all these mattressed compressed into a box. We invented a new way of compressing the spring coils at the factory so it fits in a box.

So we can ship directly from our central warehouses in LA and Chicago instead of having the traditional mattress stores ship to their retail stores first then ships it to the customer via an inefficient mattress truck.

Well, we haven’t officially opened yet, but we have been selling 5 to 11 mattresses a day!

Come by our store and hang out if you need a mattress or want to chat with us about eco-friendly products."

They have several lines, and assuming they are comfortable, prices seem quite reasonable -- one of the lines' queens was $499. Their initial store is South of Market in San Francisco (happens to be just a couple of blocks from my office). I couldn't find an exact opening date, but based on how far along they look in this video it looks imminent. Congrats Keetsa!
