Hi Infantrytroop22,
I would be very cautious about using other people’s reviews or experiences on a mattress (either positive or negative) as a reliable source of information or guidance about how suitable a mattress may be for you or the durability of a mattress and in many cases they can be more misleading than helpful because a mattress that would be a perfect choice for one person may be completely unsuitable for someone else to sleep on or vice versa (see post #13 here).
Outside of PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and Personal preferences) … a mattress is only as good as its construction and the quality and durability of the materials inside it (regardless of the name of the manufacturer on the label) and without knowing the specifics of all the layers and components in a specific mattress (see this page) it’s not possible to make any meaningful comments about the quality or durability of the materials or the mattress as a whole or identify any potential weak links in a mattress.
Having said that … Natura makes a very wide range of mattresses but they all tend to use good quality materials and they normally don’t have any obvious weak links in their materials or design that I’ve seen
Their organic line uses various combinations of 100% natural Talalay, 100% natural Dunlop, and a wool quilted cotton cover. The Dunlop is GOLS certified organic and the wool and cotton are certified organic as well but the Talalay isn’t certified organic (there isn’t any Talalay latex that has an organic certification)
There is more about organic latex in post #6 here and there is more about organic certifications in post #2 here. The most accurate description of their “organic” line would be that they contain organic materials but all the materials aren’t organic and the mattress “as a whole” also isn’t certified organic. There are only two manufacturers that make some organic mattresses where the whole mattress is certified organic rather than just the materials inside it which are Organicpedic and Naturepedic.
You can also read a little more about floor models in post #16 here. Outside of how you feel about sleeping on a mattress that many people have been lying on … I would make sure that you are comfortable with a mattress that has no warranty and most floor models also don’t have any exchange options after a purchase so the sale would be final and I would make sure that the discount off the “real” retail selling price is significant to make the additional risk worth it to you.
Thicker layers of wool will compress to some degree under the areas where you sleep the most but this isn’t a defect and generally won’t affect the comfort/support of the mattress. It will also even out over time if you sleep on different areas of the mattress where you don’t normally sleep to even out the compression (see post #3 here) and rotate it on a regular basis as well (see post #2 here).
