What is a latex-free mattress made of?

A non-latex mattress can be made from a variety of natural materials. Our mattresses are crafted with layers of certified organic cotton, natural wool, and sometimes specialty foams or innersprings, ensuring a comfortable and supportive sleep without any latex.

Is a non-latex mattress safe for people with allergies?

Yes. A non-latex mattress is the safest choice for people with a latex allergy. Additionally, materials like wool and organic cotton are naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, making these mattresses an excellent option for a wide range of allergies.

Are there organic options for latex-free mattresses?

Absolutely. We specialize in creating latex-free organic mattress options using certified organic cotton and humanely harvested wool. These materials are processed without harsh chemicals, giving you a truly pure and healthy sleep solution.

What certifications should I look for in a non-latex mattress?

To ensure a high-quality product, look for certifications like OEKO-TEX. These third-party certifications verify that the materials are organic and free from harmful chemicals.

How does a latex-free mattress compare to traditional latex models?

The primary difference is the feel. A latex mattress has a very responsive, bouncy feel. A non-latex mattress, on the other hand, offers a more stable, cushioned surface. Both can provide excellent support and durability, but a latex-free model is the only safe choice for those with a latex allergy.

Certified Organic Ingredients

Certified organic ingredients such as natural latex and certified organic cotton can make all the difference when purchasing a mattress. Organic latex provides natural cushioning and support, while certified cotton is free of toxic chemicals that could potentially harm your health.

By choosing a mattress made with certified organics and natural materials, you are investing in a better night's sleep and a healthier environment. A green mattress with natural latex and certified organic ingredients emits fewer VOCs (volatile organic compounds) during manufacturing, helping to improve air quality indoors.

Investing in such an environmentally friendly product can provide peace of mind that you're doing your part for the planet through more sustainable purchasing decisions.

We design your mattress with natural and certified organic materials, grown from mother earth. Our mattresses, futons, and bedding materials have been verified by top accredited methods and approved by organic standards. From the farm to our factory, to your home, we offer affordable luxury with no middle man. Handmade in San Francisco since 1976.
Fire Safe, Fit For Your Home

If you have been weary of replacing your mattress, consider the recent changes made to federal guidelines. Within the past ten years, many fire retardants previously used in the manufacturing of furniture and mattresses have been deemed unsafe for use!

For this reason we have utilized wool as a natural fire barrier. Wool is naturally flame resistant with no harmful chemicals. With wool in our products we can meet the federal standards for fire safety without the use of toxic substances.
