Latex

Natural latex is a material sourced from rubber trees, usually found in tropical regions. The trees are tapped for their rubber polymer sap, which is then mixed with a small amount of organic compounds to process, then poured into a mold where it takes its foam shape.

  • No harmful chemicals

  • Can last for around 25 years

  • Low VOCs

  • No strong odor

Memory Foam

Memory foam is a man-made, synthetic material and requires some processing. The foam we use in all our products is polyurethane based and is CertiPUR-US Certified, meaning it has been tested to meet CertiPUR-US rigorous standards for emissions, content, performance, and durability. 

CertiPUR Certified foam is:

  • Made without ozone depleters

  • Made without PBDEs, TDCPP or TCEP (”Tris”) flame retardants

  • Made without mercury, lead, and other heavy metals✓ Made without formaldehyde

  • Made without phthalates regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission

  • Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) emissions for indoor air quality (less than 0.5 parts per million)
