Organic Innerspring or Innerspring Latex Combo Mattresses

[phoenix]

Hi Jennifer,

It sounds like you are looking for “natural” and “safe”.

I am looking for a mattress that uses safe, natural materials that haven’t been processed with chemicals, fire retardants, VOCs, etc. So, based on your reply I would be ok with the wools and cottons (organic or natural), organic dunlop latex and both 100% natural dunlop and talalay (no SBR blends). I will take a look at the links in your reply - thank you.

Just for the sake of clarity … all the latex you will encounter (synthetic or natural) has been tested either by Oeko-Tex Standard 100 or Eco-Institut for harmful substances and VOC’s using the same testing protocols but of course SBR isn’t a natural material and there are certainly some people who prefer natural rubber over synthetic. There is a lot of misinformation or in the industry about the “safety” of synthetic latex.

And if there are any such local options I would love to know. Right now - I only know of Savvy Rest and have been there already. Their latex mattresses are nice (a little pricey), but they don’t have a return policy. And they don’t recommend their innerspring mattresses for full-time adult use (rather kid’s or guest room). My zip code is 22207.

The better options and possibilities I’m aware of in the Northern Virginia area are listed in post #2 here. You will probably need to make a few preliminary phone calls to confirm which ones carry mattresses that meet your criteria before visiting them.
