Would you sleep in a cardboard bed? Maybe this will change your mind…
Fancy catching 40 winks on a corrugated bed base? For the first time ever in the UK the Room in a Box cardboard bed is available to buy.
Bed and mattress retailer Happy Beds has teamed up with German-based Room in a Box, to become the first UK stockist of this innovative cardboard bed. The Eco-friendly, 100 per cent recyclable cardboard design is currently exclusive to Happy Beds.
'Our company ethos is 'because everyone deserves a good night’s sleep'. That shouldn’t be any different for anyone looking for an Eco-friendly alternative to a classic bed.' explains Joy Richards, Sleep Specialist at Happy Beds.
'With strong sustainability credentials and fair production, this Room in a Box bed has been hugely popular in mainland Europe. We're delighted to bring the cardboard bed over the channel. Helping people in the UK soothe their Eco-conscience and sleep that little bit more comfortably.'
