What kind of wood is used for a FLEXA bed?
All FLEXA wood components are made from pine trees from North European forests located north of the 60th parallel. The trees grow slowly because of the cold climate. This gives the wood a strong fiber structure and greater mass than other types of pine. FLEXA recently purchased a majority stake in ZAO Zapkarelles, a Russian company with licenses covering over 2 million acres of forests in order to better control this precious resource. FLEXA practices sustainable forestry, as approved by the Forest Stewardship Council, a global accreditation body meant to help preserve the earth’s forests. The company requires that all suppliers have the same goals and policies toward protecting the forests.
