The Consortium was born in 1988. It is a non-profit consortium that brings together some of the most qualified companies in the sector, sharing a strong orientation towards quality and a transparency policy. Synthesis of the Consortium's activity is the Collective Quality Mark, a logo registered internationally, which proves the quality of the mattresses produced. For a good sleeping and a better living it needs a quality mattress. Therefore, promoting quality mattresses means disseminating and supporting the culture of good sleeping at all levels: this is the mission of the Consortium. The Consortium works as an institutional interface between Consortium member companies, consumers and points of sale, having an open and constant dialogue with these interlocutors. Towards consumers, it acts as a disseminator of scientific and technical information helping them choosing a quality product that is also the most suitable for their "style" of sleeping. For the points of sale, it acts as a support for correct and exhaustive communication and training, and for the promotion of quality.
