mawirth Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Does anyone know of a supplier for natural--chemical free--mattresses that are reasonably priced? We usually buy futons, but they go flat so quickly. thanks Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 You are talking PDBE free? All IKEA mattresses (even foam ones) are PDBE free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natalieclare Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 The last time we bought a mattress, we chose Englander. Our mattress is 100 percent natural latex, and we love it. I don't know if the newer ones are made solely of latex, but I think the company is worth checking into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawirth Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 Thanks ladies. I'll check out IKEA--I wish we had one closer! I'll also check out Englander-I've never heard of it. I hope they still have Natural Latex. Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELaurie Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 And we love them! If I lie down to rest with my 6 yo ds at bedtime, I'm off to sleep in a wink! They are soooo comfortable! High Pointe Coverings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawirth Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 That's a very reasonable price for the twin wool mattress ELaurie. Does it get flat after a couple of years or does it hold its shape. Thanks!! Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELaurie Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Dh found this company online, after rejecting a couple of other far more expensive options. It's owned by an older couple, Lloyd and his wife (Leanne, Lois, Louise?). Their son Larry works there too - all L names : ) Every mattress is custom made; ours arrived within less than two weeks. They are quite personable on the phone, even inviting me and my dc to stop in for coffee if we're ever int the area, and to see how the mattresses are made :001_smile: We've only had ours for a year, but so far it has served my dc very well. I'd say it does seem a little flatter than it was, but not enough to make a difference in terms of comfort. Lloyd will tell you that he and his wife still sleep on a mattress owned by his parents, which they estimate to be over 100 years old, so apparently their mattress has served them quite well also. We've been very pleased with both the quality and the price, not to mention that the materials are all natural, with no chemical additives or pesticides in the mattresses. Let me know how you like yours if you decide to purchase one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawirth Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 I think we are going to order the wool mattress--the price is right--it says it includes shipping! It sounds so comfortable! I like the fact that it is a small business. Thanks so much ELaurie--I never would have found this place!! Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamapjama Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 We bought a wool mattress for our son. I love it. We bought it from Shepherd's Dream (Canadian Site) For an adult I would suggest buying the latex strips. I read many great reports from those who purchased through this company http://organicgrace.com/node/699 They had a great sale on their latex mattresses at the time, but as I was importing it would have brought the price way up.

mawirth Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 Thanks! I like the budget latex options on the organic grace site! Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 And we love them! If I lie down to rest with my 6 yo ds at bedtime, I'm off to sleep in a wink! They are soooo comfortable! High Pointe Coverings I went to the link and looked around. I would love to try a mattress and most definitely a pillow. As I was at their website, I noticed they're in Harmony, MN. I live about two hours from there. Harmony is an Amish community. I wonder if they have Amish ancestry. I haven't been there in a few years, but what a good excuse to go visit! Thanks for sharing.

ELaurie Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Hi Frankie, I'm sure Lloyd and his family will enjoy visiting with you. They'll probably invite you for coffee and give you a tour ;) I'd love to take a field trip to see how the mattresses are made with my dc one day, but it's a much longer drive for us :auto: When you go to see them I'd love to hear about it !
