Harmony Organic Latex Mattress

Your sleeping position plays a key role in choosing the right latex mattress. Side sleepers often prefer Soft to Medium-Firm mattresses for pressure relief at the shoulders and hips. Back sleepers benefit from medium to firm support that promotes spinal alignment. Stomach sleepers need firmer surfaces to prevent lower back sagging. Combination sleepers should consider customizable or zoned latex mattresses for balanced support across all positions.

Dunlop latex is denser and firmer, ideal for support layers or those who prefer a more supportive feel. Talalay latex is lighter and airier—making it great for plush comfort layers. Although both can be made with natural materials, it's far more common for 100% Natural latex to be made from the Dunlop process and synthetic blends to be made from the Talalay process. The only commercially available GOLS certified organic products are made using the Dunlop process. Most of our mattresses are made with Dunlop latex, but we also offer Natural Talalay for those looking for added softness.

Yes, latex has a natural aroma. This scent is non-toxic and usually dissipates within a few days to a few weeks, depending on ventilation and a person's sensitivity to smell. In rare cases, those with very strong sensitivities may always notice a slight odour. However, it’s very different from the strong chemical off-gassing you may experience with synthetic foams. Many people even find the natural latex smell neutral or even pleasant. If you’re sensitive to scents, we can air the components in our factory upon request. This process takes 2-3 weeks.

Latex mattresses perform best on a rigid, breathable surface. We recommend slatted platform beds with slats 1-2.5" apart (no more than 3") or a solid base with ventilation. As a general rule, there should be more support than air, and you should avoid box springs and bowed / flexible slats, which can cause uneven support. Coir Bunkie Boards can bring nearly any bed frame up to the warranty and performance standard.

We cover the internal layers to protect the latex from damage and oxidation. Latex is naturally grippy and delicate to the touch, so enclosing each layer in a protective fabric reduces wear during setup, adjustment, or transport. More importantly, double-covering everything helps reduce the effects of air and light, which slowly break down the latex over time, greatly increasing the lifespan of your mattress.

Our modular latex mattresses are built from the bottom up, starting with the firmest base layer and ending with the softest comfort layer on top. For example, a typical configuration might include a firm organic Dunlop base, a medium transitional layer, and a soft comfort layer. All layers are encased in a top-zippered organic cotton and wool cover, allowing easy access for adjustments. You can rearrange or exchange layers anytime to customize firmness

No, the cotton and wool mattress cover is not machine washable. Our quilted covers are made from pure organic cotton and untreated, natural wool, which can shrink or become misshapen if exposed to water or agitation. We recommend spot cleaning only. Gently dab the affected area and allow it to air dry completely. Do not soak, machine wash, or tumble dry. Some people may choose to use mattress protectors or mattress pads for easier cleaning. However, that have a plasticized backing that reduces air flow and firms up the mattress.
