Good Industrial design 2014​
The Original bed by Royal Auping B.V. received in 2014 a Good Industrial Design (GID) recognition. To qualify for this quality mark, a product has to be more than just beautiful. Functionality, originality, respect for humans and the environment, value of use and innovation matter just as much. The GID recognition is the quality label for Good Industrial Design in The Netherlands.  Products that show the commercial power of design are eligible for the quality label. The submissions are assessed by an independent expert jury under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Eng. Wim Poelman e.a. The jury was of the opinion that Auping's Original met all assessment criteria and may therefore use the Good Industrial Design mark from now on.

Most reliable brand​
In 2013, for the seventh year in a row, Auping was named to be the most reliable bed brand in The Netherlands. The selection is the result of the Readers Digest Readers' survey ‘Trusted Brands 2013’. More than two thousand Dutch consumers participated in the survey. More than one out of three (39%) of Dutch consumers names Auping as most reliable. In the assessment the quality, price/ quality ration and degree in which the brand knows the needs of the consumer were taken into account. Auping scored best in these 'trust factors' of all the bed brands.

Best in the test
The Vivo mattress  was awarded the designation ‘Best in the test’ in June 2013. The Adagio and Cresto mattresses came out the best again in the test, just as the year before.
