ALL NATURAL LATEX MATTRESSES
All-natural rubber latex
is a renewable resource that is tapped from the rubber tree in the same general way that maple
syrup is tapped from the maple tree.
The latex "serum" from the tree is minimally processed, injected with air and then baked in a mattress-sized pan.
It is now a
dunlop
latex foam mattress. The
talalay
latex process involves a few more steps. But either type of latex foam process
can
result in around 95% pure natural rubber latex.
However, some companies blend their natural rubber latex with synthetic ingredients and fillers.
But only the purest natural rubber latex foam
can truly be called a renewable resource. And only the purest natural rubber latex foam can give you the peace of mind
knowing your mattress is not off-gassing potentially harmful fumes.
NATURAL RUBBER CONTENT
Emerald
City
Organic
Sleep Solutions, Inc.
features all-natural latex mattresses by
Savvy Rest of Charlottesville
Virginia. Their brand of all-natural latex mattress is never blended with any synthetics or fillers.
It is as pure a natural rubber latex as can be made into foam, which means it's about
95% natural rubber.
Natural rubber content is the key to identifying quality
latex.
Some companies use the term "latex" even though the foam may be completely
synthetic.
Unfortunately for the consumer, even so-called
"natural latex"
is a term technically defined as a latex foam with at least 60% natural ingredients, which
means up to 40% synthetic ingredients. The key to identifying good quality latex is to determine how much of it is natural rubber.
Savvy Rest
is one of the few companies that posts the
chemical composition
of their latex.
THE SAVVY REST BRAND LATEX MATTRESSES
The Tranquility is made of two layers of three-inch thick natural latex and
the Serenity has three layers. Either one can have a mix of
dunlop and
talalay latex
in nearly limitless combinations of densities. And since natural
latex foam with a high rubber content is a renewable resource that makes an
inhospitable environment for dust mites, mold and mildew, the mattress is as healthy for you as it is gentle
on Mother Earth.
The mattress casing is made of certified
organic wool
batting
quilted between two layers of certified
organic cotton
fabric, or
ticking.
Wool wicks away moisture and helps maintain a comfortable body temperature.
Wool batting is also much more resistant to taking a body impression than cotton batting.
Neither latex nor organic wool harbor dust mites or other allergens readily.
And organic cotton fabric, like that used in clothing, is breathable. Cotton fabric not only resists dust mites
and other allergens, but also helps you to sleep drier and more comfortably. Cotton fiber batting, on the other hand,
absorbs moisture and creates a damp environment that attracts dust mites and other pests.
The
Savvy Rest
mattress does not require
flame-retardant chemicals
because the organic wool that makes up the mattress casing is
naturally
flame-resistant.
The mattress has a twenty-year manufacturer's
warranty.
THE SAVVY REST BRAND LATEX TOPPER
The Harmony mattress topper is one three-inch layer of soft talalay latex with the same
high quality organic wool and organic topper casing as the mattress. It can turn the firmest mattress into a
cozy soft sleeping surface.
CONVENTIONAL MATTRESSES
Manufacturers of conventional mattresses typically use
cotton fiber batting
containing measurable amounts of
pesticide residue.
Cotton batting also packs down over time, absorbs moisture and attracts dust mites, mold and mildew.
Not to mention that regular cotton crop fields are toxic to the local
environment.
Conventional mattress manufacturers also use a lot of
polyurethane or other synthetic foams
in their mattresses.
Synthetic foam, especially
memory foam,
may expose you to a
variety of chemicals.
And these foams are also very flammable.
Because conventional mattresses are made from these flammable materials, the federal government requires them to be
treated with
flame retardant chemicals.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR MATTRESS
When you visit our store, rest assured that none of our products contain chemical flame retardants or any
other synthetic chemicals or materials.
We will encourage you to try different combinations of latex
layers so you can arrive at just the right combination of soft, medium and firm layers. For instance,
you can try firm on the bottom, medium in the center, and soft on top. Or, you might want to
try medium on bottom, with two layers of soft on top. We will help you arrive at just the right combination. And
with so many density configurations, you can rest assured that you will get exactly the comfort you are looking for.
ADJUST FIRMNESS AT HOME
As you may know, trying a mattress for a short time in the showroom does not always tell you how it will feel in the
long run. A nice feature of having multiple layers of different density latex foam in your
Savvy Rest
mattress is that after sleeping on it a while, if needed, you can change the firmness yourself by simply changing
the position of the layers.
EXCHANGE LATEX LAYERS
Lets say that however unlikely, being able to move your layers around yourself has still not given you the perfect
firmness you are looking for. With
Savvy Rest
you still have yet another option to get your mattress to feel just right.
Savvy Rest offers a
layer exchange option that
allows you to exchange as many layers as you want within ninety (90) days of purchase, and you
only pay for shipping.

Emerald

Organic
Sleep Solutions, Inc. of Eugene stocks all-natural latex mattresses
sized to fit baby cribs for only
$375.
These wonderful mattresses are made from five-inch-thick, firm dunlop latex.

their health can
benefit tremendously
from a synthetic and chemical-free, organic mattress.

Pacific Rim Woodworking.

ADJUSTABLE BED
The
Savvy Rest brand of latex mattress works perfectly with a
Leggett & Platt
adjustable bed. The latex mattress is more flexible than a conventional mattress, and will easily conform
to any position in which the adjustable bed is placed. Click
here to learn more about our adjustable bed.
PILLOWS
Come in and check out our variety of wool, buckwheat, natural latex and millet pillows.
Latex Pillows are hypoallergenic and provide
great support. Buckwheat and millet pillows are organic and very malleable. Having the right pillow is almost
as important as having the right mattresss.
We have three types of latex pillows.
Two are solid natural latex pillows, one with a soap shape and the
other with a contour shape. The soap shape is a nice, thin
pillow with tapered edges. The Contour pillow is made primarily for side-sleepers with its shape designed
to cradle and support the head and shoulder. The third type is an unique adjustable shredded latex pillow.
The pillow is overstuffed with an inner zippered casing. You can remove as much latex as desired for a personalized
fit, softer feel or lower profile.
We also carry organic buckwheat and organic millet pillows by
Serenity Pillows.
You'll find it hard to believe how comfortable these organic materials are for sleeping.
They are supportive and soft, and each type has a thick layer of organic wool on top.
And finally, we have organic wool pillows of varying weights and sizes.

RV AND OTHER MATTRESSES
We have mattresses for RVs, trailers, trucks, boats and other unique applications. Our organic mattresses can also be
made to fit antique beds, even those requiring notched corners. The cost of a custom mattress is the cost of the next largest
standard size mattress from which the custom size will be cut. Plus add a $200 fee for the customization process.
