I love my bed! Is the most common expression by so many of our customers. Once after I told a prospective mattress customer that testimonial, she came in after sleeping on her new mattress and said, I don't love my bed, I love, love, love, love, love!! my bed! No kidding, so come in and see what everyone is raving about.

We have natural latex made using the Dunlop and the Talalay process. It starts with the natural white liquid tapped from rubber trees, in southeast Asia, combined with water and whipped to a froth. Sodium flouride, zinc oxide, fatty acid soaps and sulfer are essential to the vulcanization, foaming and curing process. Air is also injected to achieve the desired density. The Dunlop is poured onto a continuous moving assembly mold and heated to 220 degrees to cure. It is then washed three times to remove residues left over after curing. The final product is virtually 100% pure natural latex.
The density of latex is then measured and designated by numbers on the ILD scale equating to Extra Soft – used in pillows, Soft – used in mattress pads and pillow top mattresses, Medium – lowest density used in mattresses, Firm – middle firmness in mattresses and Extra Firm – highest density in mattresses.
The 100% Natural Latex mattresses range from Medium to Extra Firm. The most common choice from our customers is the Firm, although we have also sold a number of Medium density. We discourage choosing Extra Firm unless you want a mattress that comes close to sleeping on a hard surface.

Growing and buying organic cotton helps reduce the world's usage of pesticides, herbicides and the caustic chemicals used for processing. Here are some documented facts
1) Approximately 25% of the world's insecticides and more than 10% of the pesticides (including herbicides, insecticides, and defoliants.) (Allan Woodburn)
2) Fifty-five million pounds of pesticides were sprayed on the 12.8 million acres of conventional cotton grown in the U.S. in 2003 (4.3 pounds/ acre), ranking cotton third behind corn and soybeans in total amount of pesticides sprayed. (USDA)
3) Over 2.03 billion pounds of synthetic fertilizers were applied to conventional cotton in 2000 (142 pounds/acre), making cotton the fourth most heavily fertilized crop behind corn, winter wheat, and soybeans. (USDA)
4) The Environmental Protection Agency considers seven of the top 15 pesticides used on cotton in 2000 in the United States as "possible," "likely," "probable," or "known" human carcinogens (acephate, dichloropropene, diuron, fluometuron, pendimethalin, tribufos, and trifluralin). (EPA)
5) It takes roughly one-third of a pound of chemicals (pesticides and fertilizers) to grow enough cotton for just one T-shirt. (SCP)
Organic clothing manufacturers are also required to follow strict guidelines for raw material processing and dying. There are natural dyes and low impact dyes that ban the use of heavy metals and other caustic chemicals. Many of these chemicals are petroleum based, containing heavy metals and numerous carcinogenic elements, which do not bio-degrade. They leech into the water table, rivers, lakes and oceans, contaminating them and everything else, including humans, and will linger for centuries to come.

The following are general guidelines on the firmness of pillows:
Side sleepers can use a higher or extra fill pillow.
Back sleepers would probably prefer medium height/fill.
Stomach sleepers prefer lower or lighter fill pillows.
The wool will compress by about 1/3. The shredded latex spreads out under your head and is very pliable. The latex is firm and supportive. Remember, choosing a pillow is a very personal selection.
Please feel free to contact us by phone or email if you need further help in choosing your pillow!
