Sustainability

Discover the efforts we are making to support our goal of providing the most sustainable furniture on the internet.

Our Ethos

We’re on a mission to outfit your home with quality, affordable custom furniture that’s thoughtfully designed, responsibly sourced, and sustainably made. We invest in the long game. Our products are designed to last and evolve with you over the course of life with features like modularity and washable cushion covers. As one of the only full scale furniture manufacturers in the U.S., we consider it our responsibility to design, source and operate sustainably from end to end.

Responsible Materials

Ethical Wood Sources

All of the wood materials we use are FSC® Certified—coming from forests considered to be responsibly managed and providing environmental, social and economic benefits.

Certified Nontoxic

We focus on OEKO-TEX® Certified fabric options, meaning they’re tested and proven free of harmful levels of toxic substances.

Eco-Friendly Comfort

We focus on OEKO-TEX® Certified fabric options, meaning they’re tested and proven free of harmful levels of toxic substances.

The 200+ Plastic Bottle Sofa

The cushy, cloud-like material used to wrap sofa frames, seat cushions and fill back and accent pillows is a 100% recycled down alternative and just one sofa = roughly 200 recycled plastic bottles. The disposable bottles that we upcycle are sterilized in hot water, ground into tiny flakes, re-melted and extruded to make a polyester fiber. This material helps keep plastics out of our landfills & oceans and helps fill your home with comfortable, sustainable products as we believe both Mother Earth and your comfort are uncompromisable.

A Carbon Negative Shipment

A Recycled Box

Upcycled cardboard for the benefit of the planet.

Renewable Foam Packaging

The first foam ever made using biodegradable sugar-based contents in the industry.

1 Box Shipped = 2 Trees Planted

Every shipment achieves carbon neutrality by planting one tree. So we’ve planted two.

Sustainable Shipments

For a more seamless & sustainable delivery, we ship all of your items at once. A bundle shipment reduces the carbon footprint of an order by 75%!

Our partnership with the National Forest Foundation

We think it’s only right to prioritize replacing the materials we use with every single order. That’s why we are passionate about supporting the National Forest Foundation and their effort to plant 50 million trees across our National Forests by 2023. One tree is planted for every purchase made and another is planted for every box that ships.

A Sustainable Operation

When you order your custom piece, we don’t make a thousand of them. We just make yours. The furniture industry is a bit different: they’ll make a bunch and roll the cost of all the ones they don’t sell into the price tag, and the landfill. At Inside Weather, we don’t make anything for the inventory or the landfill, only your home. From product design to the production line, we optimize for little to no waste. For example, we recycle any excess from each wood sheet, in fact certain designs are even intended to absorb such “waste.” Only nose to tail cooks in this kitchen.
