Mattress Comparison Chart
Wow, so you are going to take a leap, and buy an organic mattress, without actually laying on it. You are a brave and trusting soul!
We have seen and tried other makers of "organic mattresses" and well, we were surprised. What they say is not always what they mean.
We have dealers throughout the country (not everywhere, sorry), or you can come see our store and try out our innerspring, and latex mattresses. You can even take one home with you.
We are adamant about not using chemicals. Here is an example. On some of the "organic mattress" out there there is sythetic fabric used on the flange (this fabric is sewn to the top quilting and then ringed secured to the spring unit. We use only organic cotton fabric (yes it is more expensive), but we are serious about what we do.
We only make organic mattresses, that is it. Nothing synthetic, so you know that tyro are not getting any cross contaminating. The only other place in the country to do this is L*f*k*n*d in CA (by the way these guys are NOT on the list - they make a great mattress, but they use talalay latex).
