Sustainability At Core of Minoa
Minoa, sustainability is woven into every thread of our brand. From seed to sleep, we make conscious decisions—choosing materials that regenerate the planet, not exhaust it. Our bedding isn’t just breathable, skin-loving, and beautiful—it’s also deeply responsible.
We use science-backed materials like hemp and bamboo lyocell that don’t just feel good—they actively contribute to a healthier planet.
Let’s be honest “sustainable” has become a buzzword. Many brands make vague eco-claims, leaving you unsure of what’s truly better for the planet. You want transparency, real impact, and a product that doesn’t compromise quality or comfort.
Why Sleep Shouldn’t Cost the Earth
We believe luxury and responsibility can coexist. That’s why we only use hemp and bamboo - two of the world’s most sustainable textile materials - to bring you exceptional comfort without compromising your values.
What Makes Hemp & Bamboo Lyocell Better?
Hemp
• Grows in 100 days with no pesticides or synthetic fertilizers
• Absorbs more CO₂ than forests—up to 15 tons per hectare
• Restores soil and promotes biodiversity
• Naturally antibacterial, hypoallergenic, and incredibly durable
Bamboo
• Requires up to 94% less water than cotton
• Made in a closed-loop system using non-toxic solvents
• Fully biodegradable and soft as silk
• Grows up to 3 feet per day with minimal land and no pesticides
Our Commitment to Real Change

• Sourcing low-impact, renewable fibers
• Prioritizing biodegradable and recyclable packaging

Sustainability isn’t a checkbox for us—it’s the blueprint we build everything on.
