Ridgeway Eco

Product Description

The Ridgeway range is a contemporary twist on a country style classic made in solid wood sourced from sustainable plantations & finished in light oak stain finish. Its understated style will fit easily into any home & with a fully sprung slatted base, comfort is guaranteed. What sets this bed apart is the fact that it is manufactured by Ecofurn, a company dedicated to combining comfort & style with an eco-friendly approach to business. In particular, by working with the charity Tree Aid they are helping to create long-term solutions to poverty & environmental destruction through supporting those communities who depend upon trees for basic survival. Tree Aid itself has worked with some of the poorest villages in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana & Mali where 90% of the people depend on trees for basic survival needs & has helped over 300, 000 villagers so far since it was set up in 1987 to provide long term solutions for the famine in Africa to stay in place once all the emergency relief efforts of the 1980's ended. Their mission is simply to alleviate poverty sustainably, whilst also protecting the environment & their major focus has been on supporting 164 Village Tree Enterprise groups in identifying products with which they can develop viable businesses. & so far, they have managed to raise £5.2 million since they were established, & have helped rural communities to plant over 6.5 million trees. All of the 'A' grade timber used by Ecofurn in the manufacture of their beds is sourced from well managed, sustainable plantations where the trees are cut down & replanted every 15 years. & the beds they make from it range from classic country style to clean, contemporary lines that will fit with any stylish home.
