Botanically derived Natural Latex is instantly responsive and resilient, providing a buoyant sensation that keeps you on top of your bed, rather than that sinking, collapsed, and "caved in" feel, found with so many conventional mattresses. No more digging your way out of your bed, just to change positions, disrupting those uninterrupted spans of deep sleep. Because it so highly elastic, it allows you to turn easily, distributing your weight, and reducing pressure points far more effectively than any other sleep surface, vastly improving your sleep hygiene.

 

A 100% Natural Latex mattress will last for many years, without the risk of decaying and breaking down, as synthetic, petrochemical based latex and foam beds are known to do. Because of this deterioration, mattresses containing synthetic urethane based compounds are subject to forming body impressions that significantly reduce the life span of your bed. Also, botanically derived Natural Latex repels dust mites, is naturally anti-microbial, and is therefore an excellent mattress choice for individuals with allergies who are hypersensitive to these organisms.

Almost every bedding manufacturer has quickly jumped on the Latex bandwagon, building in latex layers into many coil mattresses, memory foam beds, and pillow top type mattresses. Unfortunately, much of this latex material is either a blend of petrochemical based synthetic latex and a minimal amount of natural latex, or it may be all synthetic latex, which is inferior to botanically derived latex.

 

Natural Verse Synthetic Latex
Botanically derived Natural Latex is a unique gift from mother nature, harvested entirely by hand. The liquid material is tapped and collected, much like maple syrup, from just beneath the bark of the tree. It must be carefully gathered from Rubber trees one by one, grown on plantations which contain hundreds of thousands of trees. In fact, a queen size 6" natural latex mattress requires one day's output of 12 acres, containing 2500 rubber trees, with each tree weeping about 15 grams of liquid latex daily. Why is that important? The same 2500 rubber trees remove 143 metric tons of atmospheric carbon dioxide in one year. Each 12 acres of rubber trees employs 8 rubber tappers as well. Natural Latex is a renewable, natural material that offers unique properties unlike any other ... but you have to know what you're getting when you buy a latex mattress.

 

Where Can I Find A Botanical Latex Mattress?
The fact is, unless you ask for it by name, the odds are that you may be sold a "Latex Bed" which contains inferior synthetic latex, or it may even be constructed with only a small layer of latex on top (which may not even be natural), and then glued to a layer of cheaper, synthetic urethane foam beneath. Because botanical latex is more expensive and requires technical expertise to process and package, most large mattress companies simply do not have the margins which permit the use of premium Natural Latex in their bedding programs.
The use of inferior, petrochemically derived synthetic latex can cause settling and bucketing problems down the road. Natural latex does not settle or pack down, or "bucket", as do other kinds of foam beds, air beds, conventional coil mattresses, futons, or pillow-top mattresses.
Our Natural Latex is sourced from plantations on the island country of Sri Lanka, in the Indian Ocean, where the finest premium white latex rubber is grown and harvested in a tropical mountainous climate. Our Sri Lankan partner has over 60 years of experience in natural latex rubber technology and manufacturing, and allows us to offer what we believe to be the best Natural latex mattress on the planet.

 

How Do I know what type is best for me?
We offer two different models to meet a full range of comfort needs, which are all built on the same base layer of Sri Lankan premium white latex, 6" thick, using the time tested Dunlop method of vulcanization which yields a slightly firmer mattress (about 26 ILD, the unit of measurement of density for foam mattresses, being medium firm). If you choose our firmer 6" Natural Latex Mattress, you will get one continuous block of 6" botanical material, with our premium cotton and wool cover.

 

Our 8" Natural Latex Mattress is built using the same base layer of Sri Lankan White Latex rubber, created using the Dunlop method of vulcanization that comprises our firmer, more resilient 6" Natural Latex mattress. Building on this supportive underlying foundation, we add a layer of Talalay Natural Latex, which enhances the supportive qualities of our denser 6" Natural Latex with a more yielding, giving, and body conforming sensation, while still maintaining the extraordinary buoyant sensation found only with botanical latex.

 

Because Talalay Natural Latex is created using a proprietary technique which finely emulsifies the liquid latex with smaller air cells, you'll experience a plusher, more "nestled in" feel, offering subtle body conforming qualities that distribute weight very effectively, dramatically reducing pressure points, but without that sinking, caving in feel.

 

Best of all, our 8"Natural Latex Mattress model we add either 2" softer embellishment layer made using our Talalay Natural Latex, we use a safe, water based, non-toxic, non-formaldehyde based adhesive to permanently bond all layers of your mattress together. This permanent lamination eliminates migration and shifting issues completely. You'll also sleep soundly, knowing that your mattress is chemical free.

 

A Unique Outer Covering Which Is Chemical Free, Doesn't Sleep Hot, And Is Simple In Design
For an exterior outer covering on both of our models, we knew we wanted something that offered unparalleled comfort, and was free of fire retarding chemicals such as noxious Boric Acid, commonly used as a fire retardant and typically sprayed directly on to the fabric that you are in contact with. We wanted something clean, natural, and as "green" as the natural latex underneath, and enhanced the feel of our natural latex mattresses. We found a wonderfully soft, cotton fabric that gives both of our models a delightful, finished feel, soft and inviting. It doesn't skimp on curb appeal either, and we even offer a piping treatment around the entire edge, top and bottom, that gives our beds a beautiful, finished look.

 

To meet the new, stricter, Federal flammability standards, the top cotton layer is backed up with a wonderful layer of wool vissle, a tightly woven wool layer, which offers chemical free fire retarding qualities as well as being extraordinarily comfortable and breathable. The covering is not excessively quilted or stuffed with fill materials like most mattresses, keeping you from being in intimate contact with natural latex. Rather, it is only 3/16" thick, giving you just the right amount of padding and support, enhancing the benefits of natural latex, rather than distancing you from it.
The cover even has a zipper, allowing it to be removed and professionally dry cleaned (non-solvent dry clean, of course) if there is ever any need to, unlike most mattresses, where the outer covering is never removable. The cotton covering is only 3/16" inch thick, providing comfort and support, without keeping you too far away from the natural latex, thereby minimizing its benefit. We wanted people to be "close up and personal" with their natural latex mattress.

 

One thing we were quite concerned about was the shipping process for our Natural Latex Beds. Being in the bedding industry, particularly on the freight side of things, can be a real eye opening experience. Forklifts in warehouse can damage beds, improper handling of mattresses cause tears and rips that can damage packages, and because of damage claims, it gets very expensive, and those costs are handed down to the consumer.
Our beds are rolled and placed into heavy plastic bags in a clean room environment; the air is then removed from the bags, reducing the volume of the container by about 2/3. The rolled bed is then inserted into a shipping box, the box is securely sealed and strapped, and the bed is shipped via UPS ... not a lumbering freight truck where your mattress would likely be commingled with tires, appliances, chemicals, and other items. If you are local to our store in Cambridge you can opt to pick up the unit directly from us. Rather us do the heavy lifting and bring it home for you? We can arrange inside home delivery  for these items.

Upon receiving the bed, it is easily removed from the box. We recommend two people, one to pull the mattress out, another to hold the box, and to assist in mattress placement. After opening the bag (don't use a knife!) the bed returns to its original factory state within 5 minutes, without any harm whatsoever to the bed. Like a butterfly from a cocoon, the mattress unfurls easily. All you need to do is "plop" it up and down once or twice, adjust the covering a bit, and your natural latex mattress is ready for you to enjoy.
This unique method of delivery insures that our product arrives in perfect condition every time.
It takes 10-14 calendar days to receive your mattress from the date you place your order.
 Every mattress we produce is custom made to order, including the cotton cover, and this insures that nothing we ship has been collecting dust in a warehouse.
