Start sleeping healthy with our large assortment of natural and organic mattresses and box springs. Many mattresses outgas formaldehyde, a known carcinogen. They also contain fire retardants that build up in our bodies over time and have been associated with neurological damage and cancer. Our mattresses and box springs are free of those chemicals. We use organic wool, a natural fire-retardant. We carry Vivetique mattresses that have been slightly altered for Pure Rest. They basically add more batting to make the mattress softer and thicker. We also carry mattresses that are strictly Pure Rest. Please note that the Vivetique mattresses can take up to 8 weeks to ship while the Pure Rest mattresses ship in 2-3 weeks. No pesticides, no defoliants, no mineral oils, no formaldehyde, no fire-retardants used in any of our mattresses! All natural wool, cotton and latex. |

Article: What Kind of Mattress Should I Buy?
Q. What is the difference between a dunlop latex mattress and a talalay latex mattress? Did you know that most people are NOT allergic to wool?
If you'd like to be informed when we add new products, sign up for our bi-monthly newsletter. We keep all information we receive private and confidential.
A. A hand tufted mattress will always give a firmer surface feel. This is because the tufting links through the mattress, tensioning both the spring unit and surface upholstery. Whereas a quilted mattress will always feel more sumptuous, because both spring unit and upholstery are released allowing them to conform to their natural deeper position
A. The words "dunlop" and "talalay" refer to the methods for processing latex. The talalay method uses a couple more steps than the dunlop method for processing the latex. In these steps, the air is extracted from the latex foam and then the latex is flash frozen. This results in an "airier" latex. So the talalay method produces a softer, lighter latex than the dunlop method. This isn't to say the talalay method is superior. One method is not better or healthier than the other. The talalay mattresses are more expensive because of the extra steps involved. It still comes down to personal preference. Do you want a softer latex or a more firm latex?
Did you know that most people are NOT allergic to wool? They are actually having a painful response to the course prickly fibers. Some people are more sensitive to this than others. Why are wool fibers so course? It's because of the carbonizing required to remove excess vegetable matter from the wool. It makes the wool fibers weak and then they split, becoming prickly. Also the shorter the fibers are, the better the chance of prickle because there are more fiber ends per unit of fabric. The wool used in our products does NOT go through the carbonizing process. Only wool that is free from prickly vegetable matter is used so that no carbonizing is required. The fibers used in our products are never short! This results in a much softer wool that does not cause prickle.
