HOM Sleep Express is doing the right thing.
And you can help make a difference.
Introducing Cargill's BiOH® polyols, an innovative ingredient made from renewable soy content and brought to you exclusively by Serta and HOM Sleep Express. The soy-based BiOH component used in Serta mattresses is made from soybeans grown by American farmers and is environmentally friendly. At HOM Sleep Express, we are Doing the Right Thing and we can all help decrease dependence on non-renewable petroleum, while leaving a smaller environmental footprint.
Traditional foam cushioning is made from petroleum-based ingredients. Another option now exists - foams made in part with soy-based BiOH polyols.
Although you won't notice a quality or comfort differnce by choosing a Serta mattress made with BiOH polyols, you can help make a difference to the environment and in reducing use of petroleum. Here's how:
- BiOH® polyols leave a smaller environmental footprint than the petroleum materials they replace.
- 36% less global-warming emissions are produced when BiOH polyols are manufactured versus petroleum-based polyols(1)
- The process requires 61% less non-renewable energy than traditional petroleum-based polyols
- BiOH® polyols help reduce dependence on foreign oil.
- For every 1 million pounds of BiOH polyols that replace petroleum polyols in traditional foam, 2,200 barrels or over 92,000 gallons of crude oil are saved.
- BioH® polyols are made using U.S. grown soybeans, supporting our local domestic farmers.
We can all make a difference. Being able to start with a good night's sleep makes it all that much easier.
