ingredients

Technical Stuff: (This is for the real mattress geeks! And, don't blame us if you get confused)



Natural Latex

  • Three inches of natural latex in the pillowtop.
    • 125 lbs per yd3 of natural rubber. (What? Ok, simply put a queen uses 38 lbs of natural latex)
    • 20-25 ILD(Indentation Load Deflection). This is a measurement of firmness of the latex. Chances are, since you seem to be the inquisitive type, you might already know this.
  • Six inches of natural latex in the base.
    • 125 lbs per yd3 of natural rubber. (What? Ok, simply put a queen uses 77 lbs of natural latex)
    • 30-35 ILD(Indentation Load Deflection). This is a measurement of firmness of the latex. Chances are, since you seem to be the inquisitive type, you might already know this.
  • Manufactured using the Dunlop process.
  • Manufactured in Sri Lanka
  • Certified in accordance with Oeko-Tex 100. Assures you that the latex is free of any chemical substances which may have a negative affect on your well being.
  • Most pure latex available. Free of any manmade synthetic latex.
    • Want to get more technical? Well here you go… Latex is only natural in a liquid state. In order to take it from a liquid to a usable and solid state, all latex must be vulcanized.  Therefore, a mixture of natural rubber (90-95%), zinc oxide (2-3%), fatty acid soaps (1-2%), sulfur (1-2%), and sodium (1-2%) is created which is essential for the vulcanization, foaming, and curing process.  The finished core is then washed a minimum of three times to remove residuals that may be left over after curing.  The finished product is approximately 98% natural latex rubber.  (We could lie and tell you that it is all natural, if you want us to.)

BENEFITS

Exilir
Dr. Southard’s Age Defying Magic Exilir

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, come one, come all, step right up and try the amazing mattress. It will cure all of your ills. Wrinkles will disappear. Lose weight. You will feel like your 18 again…

Well… Actually, a mattress can assist you in feeling better by helping you sleep better, but it is not a panacea. There are other factors that are beyond a mattress’s control.  Your sleep environment. Eating habits. Exercise. Which affect how you sleep and your body feels when it wakes up.

Wait, shouldn’t we over promise in hopes that you buy one of our mattresses and then tell you about it after the fact? You get stuck with the mattress and we make more money.



Natural
Ahh

Need a hug? Our natural rubber hugs to your every curve. Its natural elasticity and flexibility conform to your body taking the pressure off your joints, aligning your spine, and giving you the rest necessary to feel refreshed. Now, you’ll only hit the snooze button two times instead of fifteen.


chemical free
Better Living without Chemistry.

Have you ever taken a look at the ingredients on cereal you loved as a kid? Can you even pronounce them? It’s a wonder that we turned out ok. Well, look at the ingredients from some mattresses… Antimony. Styrene. Butadiene. Toluene Di-isocyante (TDI). Is it going to kill you? We don’t know, but would rather not risk it. So, we only use materials from nature that you can pronounce.



do not disturb
So Happy Together.


You love your partner, but not at three a.m. when your partner’s tossing and turning. The natural flexibility of the latex helps reduce it, but the only way to eliminate it is separate beds. Maybe not a bad idea?


tempature
Tempature


When you sleep, your body rejuvenates by perspiring. (Ok, you sweat.) It’s your body’s natural way of detoxifying. Wool wicks away the body’s moisture keeping you dry throughout the night, allowing you to sleep at an even temperature regardless of season. Your body is able to breathe in a clean, restorative environment that feels just right. How refreshing?

FOUNDATION

do not disturb

There’s a lot you can find out about a person through his or her handshake. A handshake that’s too firm telegraphs that a person feels threatened. Too weak translates into the shaker’s insecurity. And then there are those perfect handshakes, where the shaker makes eye contact, smiles, and cups your hand with the type of gentle support that says Hello friend, I respect you. I support you. Our wood slat foundation demonstrates the same kind of confidence. It supports your mattress and you with a sincere firmness that you can feel every time you slip into bed.

other items

Other things to consider… or maybe a way to get you to spend more money.

Use protection… (mattress protection for those with a dirty mind.)
Mattresses get dirty.  And, you sweat up to a pint a night.  A mattress protector allows you to wash your sleep surface keeping your bed clean and reducing allergens.


Additional comfort.

It is easier to make a mattress softer than it is harder. Add a pillow top to your mattress for an additional layer of comfort.  Don’t like ours. Try out some others…


Pillows

It can be just as important as a mattress in helping you sleep better. Unfortunately, we only know the ancient art of mattress making.  So, try out these companies…

There are many others.  Just google it.


Frames

Our mattresses are heavy and need extra support.  A lot slats for bed frames don’t provide enough. So, we recommend checking out the Bedbridge™, the Bedbeam™, or the Lazarbeam™ from Knickerbocker.  And, don’t worry we gain nothing by you buying one expect making sure your mattress lasts and doesn’t sag.


Platform bed

It’s a great alternative to a wood foundation and metal frame.  Here are a few options…

 Please review our warrantyand product care to prevent any issues when using a platform bed.
