Birch Natural Mattress

It's made from This mattress is similar to our other picks. It uses a mixture of latex and wool, cotton, and coils for a supportive, bouncy feel. It is not 100% organic or natural. The flame retardant wool layers use rayon which, although it comes from a natural material, has been chemically processed. The latex layer has also been certified by eco-INSTITUT. This means that it has been tested indoor air quality, but not necessarily organic.

Notes from a Tester The comfortable, bouncy feeling of latex mattresses was appreciated by our testers. One called it "not too soft or too firm." One tester said that the mattress was great at preventing overheating, saying "it helps me maintain an evenly temperature, which in turn makes it great for a good night's rest!"

Notes from a tester The model received rave reviews in almost all categories. The contouring feel of the mattress around the shoulders and hips, as well as the support from the back, was a big hit with testers. Although testers had some issues with the mattress, they did not complain about the weight of the fitted sheets or the cumbersome setup.
