Standard Vegan Latex Mattress

A vegan mattress is made without any animal-derived materials such as wool or silk. At Nature’s Embrace, our vegan mattresses use Bamboo or Tencel fabrics instead of Cotton, as Cotton must be combined with a fire retardant, and wool is the only natural fire barrier. These mattresses offer the same comfort, support, and breathability as our standard models while aligning with vegan lifestyle values. They are perfect for anyone seeking an animal-free mattress without compromising on quality, safety or sustainability.

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.

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.

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.

The best mattresses for kids are firm, breathable, and made with natural materials. In the absence of parental preferences, our Standard mattresses are the ideal choice for growing bodies as they are on the firmer side but still provide comfort.

Standard Organic Latex Mattress or Standard Vegan Mattress

No, the Standard Latex Mattress is made from a single, solid 6" of GOLS-certified organic Dunlop latex. However, it’s still available in your choice of Firm or Extra-Firm and can be combined with any topper to suit different sleep preferences. It’s a great option for those seeking a simple, durable, and chemical-free latex mattress without the need for premium features. If you want layer customization, consider one of our modular latex mattress models instead.
