OUR MATTRESSES ARE COIL AND STEEL FREE Our natural latex mattress are coil and steel free, and is doctor and chiropractor recommended because they CONFORM TO THE BODY and offer superior firm support to a traditional steel cage. Natural latex mattresses have been known to last for THIRTY years and more without the need for a steel frame or coils. And interestingly, the newest research shows that metal frames and coils can actually act as antennas for man-made frequencies, particularly FM radio frequencies, providing subtle and long term exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF’s). More studies are currently being conducted in Europe to see how the magnetization that occurs in metal bed frames and coils interferes with our bodies natural orientation to magnetic North. 

OUR ORGANIC LATEX IS HARVESTED USING ONLY THE DUNLOP METHOD! Here is a brief description of how DUNLOP and TALALAY latex are processed, and why we use the DUNLOP method: After the milk of the Hevea Brasiliensis (rubber) tree, which contains an antibacterial substance that is a natural dust-mite repellent, is harvested, air, soda ash, zinc and natural soap are whipped into the milk and it is poured into a mold with hollow pins and baked. It then goes through a thorough washing to remove all proteins that could possibly cause an allergic reaction. This is the DUNLOP method. Dunlop method like the more elastic, springier feeling it creates and Dunlop has a solid history behind it: It turns out Sears sold an all natural Dunlop method latex mattress back in the 50's called the "Harvest House" bed, and many are still in homes even to this day.

Although seemingly simple, it is a very costly procedure, so use caution when purchasing from large manufacturers looking to cut costs substituting petrol chemical products for the real thing and charging less money. Often the latex used is really 40% Natural Latex that has been blended with 60% synthetic latex. This is a cheaper mixture containing clays, glues, and other materials causing your mattress to become toxic, break down faster and become uncomfortable; giving truly natural latex a bad reputation. It's a little known fact that about 80% of latex used in the manufacture of so-called "latex beds" is made of "latex" that is a blend of synthetic latex and natural latex - with synthetic latex often making up 75% to 80% of this "latex" blend. Unlike natural latex, synthetic latex is made from petroleum products ... and synthetic latex is stiffer, coarse in texture, not as soft and inviting, and does NOT have the antibacterial, antifungal, and hypoallergenic qualities that natural latex provides. Since Natural Latex is inherently more costly, most large scale bedding manufacturers don't even offer it.

Another type of latex you will here about is the type of Latex known as TALALAY, a word you'll hear often this is another type of process that involves freezing making a very soft latex. We do not want to infer that one process is any better than the other although we feel that Dunlop is an older and proven durable can offer firm to soft layers to please any comfort levels. 

 ORGANIC LATEX MATTRESSES ARE NATURALLY DUST MITE RESISTANT! Dust mites are microscopic creatures that can live by the millions in your bed. Normal beds provide them with the warmth, humidity and food they need for ideal growth and reproduction. It is the allergens produced by the mites, in the form of waste particles, to which people react. It is these particles, when inhaled, that have been shown to induce allergic reactions, aggravate asthma and can exacerbate the symptoms of eczema. Organic latex does not provide a hospitable place for dust mites to live. Further, organic wool (our batting material) has a dry, porous nature that prevents dust-mites and other allergens from settling in. 

 All of our mattresses are made to order. Please allow 3 weeks for shipping.

 MORE INFORMATION ON WHY YOU SHOULD BUY AN ORGANIC MATTRESS:

The majority of mattresses today are made using a variety of petroleum-based chemicals, foams, plastics and controversial flame-retardants. Research and personal accounts suggest people can in fact become ill by repeated and continuous exposure to the low level of chemicals continuously emitted during the sleep process. The situation is dramatically compounded by the fact that sleeping on a bed places the individual in extremely close proximity to the chemical source (inches compared to feet for most other chemical exposures). This direct contact means that concentrations of chemicals are many, many times higher than they would be if the source was at a greater distance. Research is now available showing that chemicals used in bed manufacturing are in fact evaporating and entering into the air (off-gassing). Some of these are documented carcinogenic and mutagenic compounds. 

Autoimmune disorders have also been linked with exposure to petroleum-based chemicals and have been found to be the underlying etiology of many common health problems today (soft tissue damage, arthritis, etc).

Conventional mattresses contain polyurethane foam, which constantly breaks down and releases chemicals. This process is called “off-gassing”. Polyurethane foam is made from chemicals that are known carcinogens. 

Other toxic chemicals that can be found in conventional mattresses are PBDEs (polybrominated diphenyl ethers) and/or boric acid. These are used in mattresses as a flame retardant in order to meet the flame retardant codes. Animal studies show that PBDE’s cause liver, thyroid, and neurological damage in lab rats. Health experts worry about most PBDE’s potential harm to fetuses and children under 6, but studies on human toxicity have only just begun. They are believed to be so toxic that Europe is phasing out the use of them completely! Boric acid: this chemical is also quite toxic, and is in fact used as a roach killer. The Environmental Protection Agency and Center for Disease Control warn of reproductive, developmental, and neurological damage. It has many known health risks just due to inhalation, a few of which are: inflammation of the upper respiratory tract (including dry throat and cough), eye irritation, and reproductive damage in men (including low sperm count). 

WHAT ABOUT MEMORY FOAM traditional "space-age" memory foam is made from polyurethane with additional chemicals that add to its viscosity level, thereby increasing its density. It is often referred to as visco-elastic polyurethane foam. The more chemicals used, the “higher the quality” of the product because it becomes more visco-elastic. The smell in memory foam is the off-gassing of toxic chemicals and is noticeably strong (some say it smells like paint). This has been known to cause headaches, upper respiratory problems, and other severe health reactions in people who sleep on them.
