Green Philosophy

From our founding TLS has taken environmental stewardship very seriously, both in terms of materials and processes utilized in production

As for the product, for seat cushions we start with a combination of high resilience foams which contain 15-35% soy in the form of bio-based Polyol. Our 8-Way tied ModuCoil suspension units and other springs are made from 100% recycled steel. Our hardwoods are grown, dried and milled locally.

TLS bales all scrap cardboard and donates it to a local charity who uses the proceeds to supplement their budget which supports a variety of community activities.  All of our scrap polyester is re-purposed by a local mattress and futon producer.

We have one of the smallest carbon footprints in the industry with 80% or more of our product content sourced within a 75 mile radius of our factory. Shipping is one of the largest contributors to pollution and we partner with other firms tying into existing routes and sharing back-hauls for a majority of our supplies.

In 2010, TLS became the first company of our size to be recognized as a finalist for the Sage Award presented by the American Home Furnishing Alliance.
