Organic Mattresses Surpass the Comfort of their Toxic Cousins

Mattresses, like cars, are usually available at different price points featuring different options.  Today I want to touch upon the issue of organic mattress comfort.  I’ve done some reading about the level of comfort, or alleged lack thereof, provided by the typical organic mattress.  The truth is that, like cars, mattresses (organic or otherwise) come at those different prices for a reason.  The cold hard truth is that if you want your mattress to feel like a ride in a Rolls Royce you’re going to pay the price for that feel.  If your budget allows a Mercedes level of comfort then you’ll pay that price and, of course, if your budget will allow you to buy Toyota level of comfort then that’s what you will get.  The notion that organic mattresses are uncomfortable solely because they are made of organic materials and not man-made materials is false and any article making such a claim should be viewed with great skepticism. 

 

So, just how does the manufacturer of an organic mattress, design and build a mattress sleep system that is not only equal to a memory foam mattress but better?  They do it by at least doubling the coil count in their mattresses with springs that have a high chrome content that makes them stronger over the life of the product.  They then layer the top of the mattress (the comfort layer) with either organic latex or a layer of micro coils which are encased in PLA (Polylactic Acid: made from potato or corn starch) and then covered in organic cotton.  If you want a pillow top effect you can then purchase a topper made from organic latex, or a combination of latex, wool and cotton.  As an added comfort bonus, the buyer won’t experience head-aches, a burning nose or other side effects caused by the chemicals in typical mattresses containing man-made materials.  Finally, a reputable manufacturer will back up their products with a 20 year warranty.  I haven’t seen very many manufacturers of the toxic variety of mattresses who will give customers a 20 year warranty.
