OEKO-TEX® Standard 100: key to your rest
When we talk about rest, we usually think about comfort. But there is something just as important that often goes unnoticed: the materials that are in contact with your skin every night.
At Karibian, we understand that good rest is not only felt, it is also cared for. That’s why, once again, we have renewed our OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification across all our mattresses as well as all the components they are made of. But what does this certification really mean, and why should it matter to you?
What is OEKO-TEX® Standard 100?
The OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification is one of the most recognized control systems worldwide in the textile sector. It guarantees that materials have been tested for harmful substances, ensuring they are safe for use.
Unlike other labels, it does not only evaluate the final product, but also each of its components individually.
What does this certification guarantee?
Products with OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification undergo rigorous testing for substances that may be harmful to health, such as hazardous chemicals, heavy metals, pesticides, allergenic dyes, and potentially carcinogenic compounds, among others.
Additionally, the evaluation criteria are constantly updated according to scientific advances, ensuring a consistently demanding standard.

Why is it important in a mattress?
We spend approximately one third of our lives sleeping. During that time, our skin is in direct contact with the bed for hours. That is why choosing a mattress with OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification is key to ensuring a healthy sleeping environment.
A certified mattress means:
- Greater safety for you and your family
- Lower risk of allergies or irritation
- Materials free from harmful substances
- Healthier rest in the long term
Material evaluation: beyond the final product
One of the most important aspects of this certification is that it does not stop at the finished product. The OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 standard requires thorough control of every material used in manufacturing. This means that all mattress components are individually tested:












This approach ensures that everything that makes up the mattress meets the same safety standards, not just the final result.
Karibian’s commitment to your rest
At Karibian, we do not just design comfortable mattresses. We analyze every component to ensure it meets the highest standards.
That is why renewing the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification reaffirms our commitment to: your wellbeing, the quality of our materials, and transparency in our processes. Because we know that quality rest is not only felt, it is built from within.
