The Origin™ story

Vita has a long history of exploring innovative, sustainable products and solutions. In the 1970s, we introduced round block foam to reduce waste. In 2000 we became the first in Europe to manufacture flexible foams using sustainably sourced polyols.

Vita Origin’s product range is an award-winning new generation of sustainable foams at The Vita Group. All Origin™ products contain sustainably sourced plant-based polyol as an alternative to petrochemical-based feedstocks.

Working with multiple stakeholders, The Vita Group continues to be at the vanguard of using lower carbon and more sustainable alternative raw materials suitable for more comprehensive bedding, upholstery, and consumer applications.

Origin™ is produced using polyols from plants such as soy, and castor oil and is developed specifically for the Bedding and Furniture industries. Origin™ is also available in Combustion Modified grades suitable for bedding and upholstery industries.

Plant-based Bio Polyols

The Vita Group majorly uses three main sustainably sourced plant-based polyol as an alternative to petrochemical-based feedstocks.

Polyol 1 - Castor Oil based polyol

To ensure the utmost sensation of relief and wellbeing, our Origin™ foam is infused with sustainably sourced castor oil. Castor oil is often used in medicine and skincare due to its natural anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal qualities.

Application includes:

  • Hybrid mattress
  • Cut and moulded pillows
  • Consumer goods
Vita Rest Pillow Origin

Polyol 2 - Soy oil based polyol

In 2019, we introduced a range of Combustion Modified Ether (CME) foam products infused with soy oil-based polyols. The foams in this award-winning FRee™ foam range achieve the high standards of fire safety required by UK and Irish regulations without compromising technical performance or chemical safety.

Application includes:

  • Bedding
