What is an Organic Mattress?

What is an organic Mattress?

It may seem slightly unusual to see a mattress referred to as 'organic' however the organic cotton, wool, Merino wool, coconut fibre and natural latex used in our organic mattresses collection has tremendous health, environmental and comfort benefits.

All of our organic mattresses are entirely free from chemical pesticides, fertilisers or any other artificial components. These chemicals can be harmful to your heath, as well as the environment. The chemicals in non-organic cottons and wools can cause discomfort to those with sensitive skin or any skin conditions. Organic mattresses can't improve your skin, but they can help to ensure you sleep in the most pure and clean environment possible.

Cotton plants, sprayed with chemical stabilisers and fertilisers, are among the thirstiest plants on the planet. It takes six pints of water to for one single plant to grow one single cotton bud, whilst a cotton plantation can essentially wipe out an entire local eco-system. The organic cotton used in our organic mattresses requires half the water of its non-organic brother and, as a result, can grow side by side with other plants.

Our Organic and 100% Natural Latex Mattresses

We are proud to offer high quality natural latex mattresses from Abaca, who are based in Wales and Prolana, who are based in Germany. A Natural latex is the closest natural alternative to memory foam, in terms of its luxurious feel and bodily support. However, unlike petroleum based memory foam, natural latex is not made using artificial chemicals. Natural latex is simply the frothed

-up sap of the rubber tree, expertly baked into a mattress. Natural latex, along with organic wool, has fantastic temperature and moisture regulating qualities; A common complaint with memory foam is that it is incredibly prone to overheating

As well as natural latex mattresses, 4 Living offer pocket sprung mattresses, coconut fibre children's mattresses and combinations of springs or coconut fibre and latex. Some people prefer, and have become accustomed, to pocket sprung mattresses but would like an organic alternative or perhaps a touch more luxury. A mattress which is half pocket sprung and half natural latex will provide a good balance between a bit of a bounce and a supportive mattress.
