Last researched 3 November 2026 · 6 sources

Melbourne homewares brand selling mattresses, bed frames and sofas.

There's no proof Eva pays more than the legal minimum, which in China is below a living wage, and it has no full independent audit.

Better-graded bedding and textiles

Graded higher than Eva, selling the same kinds of things.

Why it's graded Lacks transparency

Not met: Meets 2 of 6 Good requirements.
Holds the grade back: It doesn't show that workers are paid a living wage, and isn't certified as working towards one. On Track needs at least one of these.
It isn't Harm on record, because there's no serious confirmed problem on its record.
Lacks transparency is still a poor grade: in supply chains like this, workers who can't be seen to be treated fairly are usually underpaid or unprotected.

Evidence

What we found

Passes the raw-material check for homewares and appliances: traces or certifies its timber.
FSC or PEFC certified timber: Forest certification that includes core labour rights for forest workers.
Traces or certifies most but not all of its timber. That doesn't count against it for Good, but the "Open supply chain" star needs all of it traced, certified or upcycled.

Research notes Eva names where each product is made, all in China: its mattress and Timber Bed Frame in Foshan, sofas in Foshan and Shanghai, tables and dining sets in Tianjin, pillows in Zhejiang and hemp linen in Hebei (GOTS certified); shares are counted by named makers. Only the mattress maker is said to be BSCI and SQP audited, and Eva's claim that it pays above-award wages is not independently verified. Eva says its furniture timber is FSC certified. It is a certified B Corp but publishes no supplier list, audit results, modern slavery statement or living wage commitment.
