I just received this mattress pad and thought I'd post a few comments for anyone also considering purchasing the same item:
First, although their price was the best, the above noted company billed my credit card the day of my order, though the item did not ship for almost 2 weeks. It's a custom order from Natura in Ontario, Canada. The mattress pad finally arrived via UPS and was in a cardboard box but had no plastic cover or bag of any kind. I suppose this is in keeping with their "all organic" reputation?? Anyway, it was clean and in good condition. The pad itself is not that thick so it does not interfere with the "feel" of the latex under it. I was a little disappointed that it did not have any sort of elastic sides to help hold it in place. It just tucks under the mattress with a generous depth. After a short trial I am quite pleased with how it does seem to keep an even temperature and absorb any possible moisture. I guess my only serious criticism is the quality of the stitching. The stitching lines are ROUGH and raised so that if you run your hand over the bed you can feel every seam. It didn't seem to bother me while sleeping but some of you might find this a problem if you are sensitive to minor "bumps" in your bedding. If I had to do it over again, I'd probably buy the "St Dormier" or whatever that other brand mentioned on here was to hopefully eliminate the rough stitching lines. I should have listened to Budgy! hahaha

I thought you would feel that stitching. But if it doesn't bother you than great. Odd no plastic wrapper and 2 weeks before shipping and charge way before that. Amazon doesn't charge you until they ship. Not great practices at Clean Bedroom, but nothing is perfect these days. Thanks for your review. |

I have a similiar opinion of the same mattress pad. However, mine does have elastic on the leading edge that goes under the mattress. That help hold it in place, but not that tightly. There is plenty of depth to go over a thick mattress. Yes, you can feel stitches if you run your hand over, but I don't think I notice that at all sleeping on it with a sheet over it. I would probably try the St. Dormier as well if I bought another, but I am not sure if I would notice any difference. I think the Natura has a bit more wool per square yard, so that is a plus. Overall I am happy with it. |

I stand corrected. Mine also has the elastic around the very bottom edges. I guess what I meant was that the entire sides are not stretchy like my cheaper former mattress pad. It may shift slightly while in use. However, with that said, I too am quite pleased with the product overall and am sleeping better than ever (lately). I don't feel the rough stiching much at all as Sandman said. This message was modified Jun 12, 2010 by markbnh1

| one thing I can say about the Natura pad is that the cotton sateen cover is great feeling. I still use the Natura pad as I am happy with it and its in great shape, the sateen cover itself is also holding up very well, even after a few high heat cycles in the dryer which is a huge no-no for wool products in general. |
Whoa budgy: low heat, low heat! |
