The advantages of wooden beds made in France

Made in France is increasingly popular among consumers who want to buy in a more responsible and sustainable way. This is felt in many different areas such as food, clothing, and also furniture. Opting for a wooden bed made in France is now entirely possible and allows you to prioritize a high-quality bed, durable over time, and made locally. So what are the advantages of choosing a Made in France wooden bed? We explain everything!

Why choose a wooden bed?

First of all, it's worth remembering why wood remains the most suitable material for everyday furniture like a bed. Indeed, the bed is an element of the bedroom that we will use every day and for many hours, so it must be sturdy, healthy, and durable over time. Therefore, wood seems to be the most suitable material to meet this set of very specific criteria.

Wood is a healthy and robust material that adapts to its environment, weight, and movements. Being healthy, it does not release chemical compounds that could harm health (at least when it's untreated or treated with appropriate products). Thus, choosing a wooden bed means choosing a bed that you can keep for many years without seeing it deteriorate excessively. It can therefore be an economical choice.

Finally, it is also entirely possible to prioritize an environmentally friendly choice by opting for a bed made of FSC or PEFC certified wood. These labels are awarded to products made from wood sourced from sustainably managed forests. It is therefore proof that their impact on the environment is less than that of a product that would not have this label.

What is "Made in France"?

What we call "Made in France" is a label that companies can use on their product. Although mentioning the origin of a non-food product is not mandatory in Europe, it nevertheless allows consumers to know where their product comes from.

Regarding the regulations surrounding "Made in France" type mentions, it should be noted that the product takes the origin of the country where it underwent its last substantial transformation. Therefore, it becomes crucial for the consumer not only to ensure that the "Made in France" mention is present but also to understand what lies behind it. Indeed, some unscrupulous companies play with the regulations to use this mention even though the majority of the product is manufactured elsewhere in the world.

How to ensure that furniture is made in France?

To ensure that furniture is indeed made in France, it is first and foremost important that the mention "Made in France" or "Fabriqué en France" is present in the product description when it comes to an online purchase. But as mentioned earlier, this is often not quite enough. Indeed, it is also interesting to inquire about the production and manufacturing processes of the products. Companies for whom ethics and transparency are important easily highlight this information so that the consumer knows what they're dealing with. If the information is harder to find, it might be hiding something.

More than the presence of a "Made in France" mention, it is therefore also important that the company is transparent about its way of working and how it manufactures its products.

The case of a wooden bunk bed

To illustrate our point, let's take the example of a wooden bunk bed. This is a bunk bed that you can find at many furniture retailers. A 90x190 bunk bed is indeed a very common furniture format. You can also find a 3-person bunk bed, a separable bunk bed, a bunk bed with storage, etc.

Beyond the practical and aesthetic features of your child's bunk bed or adult bunk bed, you can inquire about the product's manufacturing origin. As mentioned earlier, this information is not mandatory, but if it's made in France, the brand will not fail to specify it. This is the case, for example, with our PRADO 90x200 bunk bed which has the mention "Made in France".

This mention on the description of your wooden bunk bed is very good news, but you can go further by inquiring about the brand's commitments, the information it provides on its manufacturing processes, the choice of its materials... These are all clues that will allow you to ensure that you are making an ethical and eco-responsible choice.

By ensuring the origin of your wooden bunk bed, you are thus assured of opting for furniture that is durable over time, eco-designed, but also respectful of your well-being by favoring materials that do not emit harmful substances, for example. Therefore, you have the opportunity to make a responsible choice for you and for the planet. Of course, this example applies to the purchase of a wooden bunk bed for the purchase of any other type of bed or wooden furniture that one would want to choose made in France. Most often, doing research largely helps avoid mistakes.
