Is it really that important to sleep on a chemical-free mattress?

You may be surprised to learn that a wide array of hazardous industrial chemicals are found in most of today's mattresses, including benzene, toluene, phosphorus, formaldehyde, vinyl, pentaBDE, antimony, PVC, phthalates, pesticides, polyurethane and chlorine. These chemicals can cause a variety of health problems including insomnia; irritation of skin, eyes, throat and lungs; allergies and multiple chemical sensitivities; and some are known carcinogens.

Since many of these chemicals off-gas into the air and we sleep in such close proximity to our mattresses, we are exposed to these toxins for a significant period of time every day. The body stores many of these substances in fatty tissue, including the brain, where they are suspected of contributing to chronic brain disorders that are becoming epidemic in the older generation.

Many researchers also believe that environmental toxins, especially those found in today's weather-sealed homes, play a significant role in the increase in childhood disorders such as ADD/ADHD, autism, asthma and cancer. And the toxic gases given off by baby mattresses have been implicated in SIDS/crib death.

What is natural latex / rubber?

There is a lot of confusion about natural latex/rubber products. Unfortunately, just as in other industries like food and cosmetics, "natural" can be used to describe any product that contains natural ingredients. Some mattress companies call blends that contain 60% synthetic latex "natural" because they contain some natural latex. Other companies claim they use "all natural latex" but they have not tested their imported rubber to see if it is truly natural and free of chemicals. Pure-Rest latex has been tested by Latexco, an independent lab, to be pure and chemical-free. Results are available on request.

Is it latex or is it rubber?

Most people refer to rubber mattresses using the term latex. Technically, latex is defined as the milky fluid that is produced by the cells of the rubber tree. It is treated using a process called vulcanization to create rubber. On our site we use these terms interchangeably.

PROTECT YOUR FAMILY'S HEALTH with affordable, natural latex mattresses containing NO toxic chemicals and NO synthetic rubber, polyester or other fillers.

Pure-Rest, Pure Latex, Pure Comfort
We chose to carry Pure-Rest mattresses because:

  • They are obsessed with purity. Pure-Rest is the only company we found whose imported rubber tests totally free of toxic chemicals and contaminants. Their mattresses are NAOMI compliant, so you know that you will be getting NO CHEMICALS in your mattress!
  • The quality and comfort of their mattresses go beyond even the high standards of the European community, where attention to "skin friendly" is demanded and tested.
  • Pure-Rest employs only fair trade labor in the manufacture of all of their products.
  • Many of their mattresses are kept in stock, so you don't have to wait weeks, or even months, for your new bed to arrive!

In addition to being chemical-free, the natural rubber used in Pure-Rest mattresses is breathable and ventilated for maximum comfort. These mattresses provide excellent support, while cushioning the body evenly to prevent the formation of the painful pressure points commonly caused by innerspring mattresses. Pure-Rest's natural latex mattresses are ideal for people who:

  • are sensitive or allergic to chemicals, mold, mildew, bacteria or petroleum-based and other types of synthetic materials,
  • have back and/or joint problems or want to avoid these problems,
  • are concerned about EMFs (electro-magnetic fields: innerspring mattresses magnetize over time and can give off chaotic magnetic fields),
  • live where mold or dust mites are a concern,
  • don't want to wake up when your partner moves,
  • are health-conscious and want to cut down on exposure to environmental toxins,
  • or simply want to get a great night's sleep!

Natural, Non-toxic, Environmentally Friendly
100% natural latex is resilient and naturally resistant to mold, mildew, bacteria and dust mites. Only air, natural soap and natural vulcanization (curing) agents are used in processing Pure-Rest's latex, tapped from the Hevea Brasiliensis—commonly known as a rubber tree—which grows on plantations in Southeast Asia. Unlike synthetic rubber made from petroleum, natural rubber is an excellent environmental choice. It's a renewable resource, there are no toxic substances or ozone-depleting agents used in manufacturing it, and rubber plantations help combat the greenhouse effect!

Pure Wool is Wonderful
The organically-grown wool used in Pure-Rest mattresses is washed with only water and vegetable-based soaps—no detergents, chemicals or chlorine bleach are used. It's processed without the use of oils or bonding agents, and retains 4-6% lanolin which protects the mattress from moisture, dust mites and bed bugs. With the exception of the vegan mattress, Pure-Rest mattresses meet or exceed the stringent 2005/2007 California and Federal flame retardancy standards...without the addition of flame retardant chemicals!

Warranties
Pure-Rest mattresses are expertly crafted by hand with totally pure fibers to produce their exclusive high quality. Adult mattresses and foundations are covered by a 10-year fixed and 20-year prorated warranty covering all component parts against defects in materials or workmanship, except the Zeus mattress which carries a 25-year warranty. Crib mattresses feature a 10-year fixed warranty and

Foundation Optional
To eliminate the need for a foundation, all Pure-Rest latex mattresses can be placed directly on one of our natural wood platform beds. Or, to use them on a metal or other style bed frame, you can add an 8" organic cotton/wool covered wood foundation. For the budget-minded, we also offer a 3" bunkie board foundation or a roll of wood slats.

The Harmony 6" natural latex mattress is available in medium, firm, and extra firm. This mattress is made with a 100% pure natural latex core, covered with European organic cotton fabric quilted to organically processed wool from organically raised sheep. The thick layer of wool provides natural flame resistance, and combined with thick organic cotton batting it makes the top more comfortable than manufacturers who use thinner batting to cut costs. The mattress conforms to your body's shape and minimizes pressure on your joints and back. For extra softness, a 2" natural latex topper or 3" wool-filled organic cotton topper may be added. The addition of a topper will not affect support, it only adds to your comfort. When ordering please specify your desired level of firmness:

  • Medium: can be used by children up to 80 lb.
  • Firm: our most popular firmness
  • Extra Firm: for those who prefer a firm feel or weigh over 300 lb.

HARMONY-VEGAN: The Harmony mattress is also available "vegan style" — six inches of natural latex covered with our organic cotton ticking and no wool. This style will feel a bit softer, as there is no topping. The Harmony-Vegan is only available with a doctor's note stating that wool is not recommended for the patient and that the buyer recognizes this style does not have flame retardant properties. Please contact us for pricing. The vegan mattress is made to order and takes 4-6 weeks to ship.

  • Manufacturer's warranty against manufacturing defects: 10-year fixed, 20-year prorated.
  • Twin and queen sizes are usually in stock for fast delivery. Other sizes and vegan style typically ship within 3 weeks.

By rearranging plates of various firmnesses of latex you can adjust these mattresses to feel softer or firmer. For larger sizes the plates can be split in half so each person can adjust the firmness to their liking.

The natural rubber plates are individually covered for better support and wear. The flame-retardant, zip-open cover of organic cotton and organic wool is fully quilted for durability and comfort, and can be removed for hand washing, if necessary.

The springy resilient natural wool batting contains an abundance of air. This cotton and wool combination acts to cushion the body and prevents the formation of painful pressure points. Wool also allows your body to breathe freely, while regulating body temperature for an undisturbed and rejuvenating sleep. In addition, the natural lanolin in our organic wool protects your mattress from sweat, dust mites and bed bugs.

Cloth side handles make the bed easy to move, should you ever need to adjust it. Flipping of these mattress is not necessary, and if a latex plate ever needs changing it is an easy project.

  • Sagittarius manufacturer's warranty against manufacturing defects: 10-year fixed, 20-year prorated.
  • Zeus manufacturer's warranty against manufacturing defects: 10-year fixed, 25-year prorated, excluding the softer top layer which carries the standard mattress warranty.
  • Usually in stock for fast delivery.
  • Shipped direct from the Pure-Rest factory. Curbside (economy) delivery: Twin $180; Full $190; Queen $200; King $210 FREE SHIPPING to the continental U.S.

39" x 75"

This is the least expensive natural latex mattress you can buy while still retaining high quality and 20-year life expectancy. Designed for children one year and up, My First Bed provides very comfortable sleep for kids up to about 80 pounds. At that weight you can buy a 2" latex topper and the bed should last through college! This is the perfect solution for parents who may not have the money to purchase an expensive adult mattress, but still want a non-toxic bed that supports a child without the uncomfortable pressure points caused by innerspring mattresses.

The mattress is constructed with a firm (31 ILD) natural rubber core, covered with water-resistant organic wool moisture pad fabric on the top and sides for protection from wetness. The wool covering means you don't have to spend extra money on a wool mattress pad or subject your sleeping child to the toxic fumes given off by plastic-backed pads.

  • Naturally flame-retardant organic wool top and sides allows the body to breathe while providing protection from moisture.
  • Manufacturer's warranty against manufacturing defects: 10-year fixed, 20-year prorated.
  • For younger children you will probably want to use an organic cotton mattress pad or a terry cloth towel under the bottom sheet to absorb any accidents. If the mattress does get wet it should be towel-dried and aired out for a few hours.
  • Usually in stock for fast delivery.
  • Shipped direct from the Pure-Rest factory by UPS: $75 FREE SHIPPING to the continental U.S.
  • Optional: natural wood platform bed • 3" bunkie board foundation • roll of wood slats.

Gemini 4.5" or 6" Futon-style Natural Latex Mattress

Pure-Rest's Gemini models are futon-style mattresses featuring a 2" or 4" natural latex core, surrounded by multiple layers of organic cotton and organic wool. The cover is fully quilted and designed to look just like a regular mattress. This is Pure-Rest's firmest mattresses. Like all futons it will get firmer over time, but the latex core will keep it from matting down into a flat, hard bed.

This mattress can be placed on a futon frame; or on a metal frame with the addition of an optional roll of slats, 3” bunkie board, or standard foundation.

  • Manufacturer's warranty against manufacturing defects: 5-year fixed, 10-year prorated.

Pure-Rest / Ecobaby's chemical-free latex crib mattress features a 4.5" core of extra firm (35 ILD) natural rubber. Covering the core is a layer of thin organic cotton fabric, a thick layer of organic cotton batting, a thick layer of organically processed wool from organically raised sheep, and a layer of premium European organic cotton fabric all quilted together to prevent shifting. This provides a 5.5" to 6" strong, supportive mattress with an even top for safety. Pure-Rest even uses organic cotton quilted with wool on the sides to prevent moisture from reaching the foam inside.

This mattress exceeds U.S. and California flame retardancy guidelines without the addition of a single chemical! It fits standard cribs and meets all safety regulations and CPSC guidelines. We recommend our organic wool puddle pad to protect the mattress from moisture.

Organic Innerspring Mattresses

We generally don't recommend innerspring mattresses for adults due to pressure point discomfort and EMF concerns. Considering the amount of time we spend in bed, we believe purchasing a natural latex mattress is a sound investment in good health. Plus, since natural latex mattresses are more durable than innerspring mattresses, the long term cost of owning one is close to that of an innerspring. However, if budget absolutely prohibits you from purchasing a natural latex mattress at this time, we also carry Pure-Rest organic innerspring mattresses. Though not the optimal solution for health and comfort, these beds are a much healthier choice than any conventional mattress (non-organic innerspring or synthetic latex) you could buy.

For babies, pressure points and EMF issues are less of a problem since infants weigh less and are not as sensitive to pressure points as adults, and their mattress may not magnetize during the 1-2 years that they sleep in a crib. However, the chemicals that off-gas from conventional crib mattresses are highly toxic (see top right column) and we urge every parent to consider an organic innerspring crib mattress if they are unable to purchase one made of natural latex. We are so concerned about this issue that if you truly cannot afford an organic crib mattress, we will subsidize your purchase.
