What Makes a Natural Wool Mattress Unique?
Natural or organic wool mattresses stand apart from conventional options because of wool’s inherent properties, offering a superior sleep experience.
- Exceptional Durability and Support: Wool fibers are naturally crimped, creating millions of tiny air pockets that provide the perfect balance of softness and support. This structure makes the mattress incredibly resilient, maintaining its shape and comfort for years.
- Naturally Hypoallergenic: Wool resists dust mites, mold, and mildew, making it an excellent choice for allergy sufferers.
- Moisture-Wicking and Breathable: Unlike synthetic fibers, wool is breathable and wicks away moisture, helping regulate your body temperature throughout the night.
Benefits of Natural Wool Mattresses for Sleep Health
Sleeping on a natural wool mattress provides many benefits directly contributing to your overall well-being.
- Year-Round Temperature Control: Wool’s ability to regulate temperature is a key feature, keeping you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Its breathability helps maintain an optimal sleep temperature, reducing tossing and turning.
- Chemical-Free Fire Resistance: Wool is a flame retardant, which means our mattresses meet fire safety standards without needing toxic chemical treatments. You and your family can rest without worry.

How Wool Mattresses Compare to Other Mattress Types
Making an informed choice about your mattress is essential for good sleep. See how our wool futon mattresses compare to latex, and more:
- Wool vs. Latex: While both are natural and durable, wool offers superior breathability and temperature regulation. Latex provides a firmer, bouncier feel.
- Wool vs. Memory Foam: Memory foam is known for its contouring feel, but can trap heat and often contains petroleum-based chemicals. Wool offers a healthier, more breathable, and naturally supportive alternative without the heat retention.
Wool vs. Innerspring: Traditional spring mattresses can be noisy and often contain synthetic foams and chemicals. A wool mattress provides silent, uniform support with the added benefits of being chemical-free and temperature-regulating.

Dunlop Latex For Superior Support
The natural reflexive properties of Latex are beneficial in many ways but the specific materials we have chosen for our latex mattresses are important to know when comparing with our competition. We choose only Dunlop latex over Talalay Latex for the extra support and resistance it provides for the sleeper. By utilizing Dunlop Natural Latex in multiple thicknesses our uniform solid cores are adjustable and customizable by preferred density.

Pocketed Spring Coil Mattresses For No Motion Transfer
Traditional mattresses and their bouncy interconnected springs are the direct cause of most motion transfer issues for couples. Those using interconnected metal springs may notice discomfort every time their partner shifts while sleeping. For this reason our collection features individually micro pocket coils that cease motion transfer from spring to spring. Each micro-coil is made from recycled double tempered steel and encased in its own fabric pocket rather than woven together resulting in no transfer of pressure or bounce that cannot be felt from one coil to the next.
With no motion between rows, layers, or even spring to spring you don’t have to worry about waking your partner before they are ready.

Certified Organic Ingredients
We design your mattress with certified organic natural materials, grown from mother earth. We use environmentally friendly organic fibers for no negative health effects. Our mattresses, futons, and bedding materials have been verified by top accredited methods and approved by organic standards. Handmade in San Francisco since 1976 with no toxic chemicals or hazardous substances.

Fire Safe, Fit For Your Home
If you have been weary of replacing your mattress, consider the recent changes made to federal guidelines. Remember that 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 not only for comfort but as a natural fire barrier. Wool is naturally flame resistant with no flame retardant chemicals. With wool in our products we can meet the federal standards for fire safety without the use of any potentially toxic substances.
