Benchmark are one of the UK’s leading furniture makers with sustainability at their core

Designed for well-being with natural materials, colours, textures and nature-inspired ergonomic shapes, Benchmark seek to create furniture that makes a positive contribution to both human health and the environment.

Benchmark’s investment in Environmental Product Declarations provides independently verified evidence of the low environmental impact of their furniture. Their Red List Free Declare Labelling provides complete transparency, showing where the furniture is made, what it is made from and where it goes at the end of its life. Red List Free means that it contains no harmful toxic chemicals making their furniture suitable for healthy spaces including WELL certified buildings.

Benchmark are continually challenging the way they operate. Recent innovations include the development of furniture upholstered with coir, latex and sheep’s wool. Developed in collaboration with the Naturalmat Company, these natural, sustainable and biodegradable materials are better for health as well as overcoming the significant environmental concerns surrounding the disposal of plastic foam in landfill. Their recently launched Take Back Scheme enables customers to return furniture when it is no longer needed which is then refurbished, repurposed or donated to charitable enterprises.
