In today’s market, volatility is the norm. With foam prices rising 20–25% due to ongoing pressures in the global oil market, many in the PBSA and Build-to-Rent sectors are feeling the impact on furnishing costs.

But what if your supply chain was built differently? At Student Life Furniture, our Eco Mattress is designed with resilience in mind:

- Made from 83% recycled materials

- 100% recyclable at end of life

- Engineered to reduce reliance on virgin, oil-based inputs

The result? While traditional foam products have seen sharp cost increases, our Eco Mattress has experienced just a 4% rise. 

This isn’t just a sustainability story — it’s a commercial one. By choosing materials that reduce exposure to volatile raw markets, operators can:

- Improve cost predictability

- Strengthen ESG credentials

- Reduce long-term environmental impact

For PBSA and BTR providers, this means delivering high-quality living experiences while building a more resilient and responsible supply chain. Sustainability isn’t just about doing the right thing — it’s about making smarter decisions for the future. 

If you're reviewing your furnishing strategy, now is the time to rethink what sits at the core of your product.
