Eco Organic Mattress
Green Mattress Standard & Vegan Mattress Standard
Eco Organic Mattress – 10 Inches Tall
Our Eco Organic Mattress uses one seamless GOLS-certified organic latex layer 2 inches in the comfort layer (D65 / 14-19 ILD, soft). We add a layer of pure, naturally crimped GOTS-certified organic wool (CU 863637) (1 ounce per square foot) under certified organic cotton ticking in every mattress. For a luxurious and premium finish, we use GOTS-certified organic cotton (CU863637) in a soft, natural color for a luxurious and premium finish, over a generous layer of organic wool with thin, non-woven backing as a natural fire barrier. We do not use polyester fiber. Made in our manufacturing facility, our border coils are a meaty 14.5 gauge, and interior zone coils are 12 gauge. Some companies use toxic chemical glues to bind their mattress layers, contributing to off-gassing and indoor air pollution. We do not. Instead, we use simple, durable metal rings from recycled steel to keep our mattress layers firmly in place.
