Hi All,
Total longshot but anyone bought an environmentally friendly mattress? ie. ones that are generally all natural, no woll, no vaseline or basically harmfull chemicals and dyes, etc. Or even can anyone recommend the names of any companies manufacturing such mattressses? I've been doing some google searching and it seems that there are niche brands such as "Essentia" who are selling pretty much the ideal kind of eco-friendly mattress my girlfriend and I are looking for, unfortunately it's way way out of our price range. We are looking for a King for $2000 or less, Essentia is mainly between $2000-5000 for a King. On the other end of the scale is Sealy's Natural Origins. is this Sealy potentially hoping on the green-friendly bandwagon with a mattress series such as this?. Anyone heard anything about this brand (Sealy - Natural Origins). Anyone with any experience in this field, it would be greatly appreciated. We're only really looking for vendors who sell in North America (we're in Canada). THANKS! This message was modified Sep 26, 2011 by sianspheric

thanks for all the tips and advice guys! I fully agree on the point about wool, I'm not offended at all. I honestly think if I presented the "sheep NEED to be shorn of their excess wool" argument to the vegan girlfriend, she could probably produce many articles about cruelty and unethical treatment of sheep. So that's probably why she has that bias. She's not extremely against Wool, but she would have to trust that the source sounds ethical (such as Flobeds). Dave, flobeds sounds amazing, and definitely has the criteria we are interested in. Unfortunately I am totally reluctant to buy a mattress without lying down on it. All the youtube videos/testamonials/reviews would not convince me as much as lying down on one. Right now, I think we've given up on the Sealy line. I tried out a Keetsa bed a few days ago and it was super comfy and very affordable, it's partially made of tea leaves (how "green", I know), so I think we are going to check out the Keetsa store here as they do carry a few beds that might fit enough criteria for our needs. |

Hi to sianspheric and anyone else looking for an eco friendly memory foam mattress alternative. Here’s another eco friendly brand that I found. The Eco Planet mattress is manufactured in the only eco-certified factory in China. The foaming process is entirely contained in a pressurized chamber, eliminating chemicals from being released into the atmosphere. This message was modified Apr 29, 2013 by a moderator

I am sure I will get in some kind od trouble for posting all this info and I apologize for it but have no ill intention. We carry a Product made for us by a manufacturer which is all natural dunlop (6 customized inches and 3 soft on top) and is made without wool. It would be in the range you are looking for. It has NO foam, it uses a Rayon with a small amount of polyester to meet fire codes. This message was modified Sep 19, 2013 by a moderator
