Get Registered

Even if your company buys certified foam, your company does not have permission to use the CertiPUR-US® name or logo unless it is officially registered (it’s free). Here’s how to register.

NEW: Registered companies are required to update their directory listings each year using Directory Listing Update Form C.

Know the Rules

Terms of Use Manual 2019

Use the Correct Spelling and Punctuation: CertiPUR-US®

certipur-brand-diagramNote that the CertiPUR-US program should never be referred to as just “CertiPUR,” since the latter a separate program based in Europe.

Be sure it is clear that the foam is certified—not the mattress, upholstered furniture, product line, or company. Avoid positioning the CertiPUR-US logo or language in any way that implies an endorsement and/or relationship between the CertiPUR-US and any other claim.
