People choose to sleep on natural mattresses for two main reasons: 1) to avoid the chemicals and synthetic materials found in conventional mattresses, and; 2) for the health, safety and comfort features of natural materials.  Most conventional mattresses are made with synthetic fills, fabrics and foams, and chemical additives, some with known health risks, and others that simply have not been researched or tested thoroughly. For details on the health risks of these materials, read our blog post.  The good news is that, beyond the peace of mind that comes with knowing exactly what you’re sleeping on, a mattress made with all-natural materials can provide unsurpassed comfort, support and safety. Natural materials are more breathable and sleep cooler than synthetics. Read our blog post for more details on the benefits of natural materials.
