What questions to ask when deciding on a new latex or organic mattress:

1. Is the latex 100% natural latex? Is it 100% natural TALALAY LATEX? Or is it 100% natural DUNLOP LATEX? (Talalay Latex is more costly to process than the Dunlop Latex Process. Be sure to find out which latex you are getting.) Are you being deceived by the seller saying “100% Talalay latex or 100% Dunlop latex” without using the word natural? Are they saying 100% Talalay latex which is not natural then saying it’s available in natural but not explaining it is only available in natural Dunlop?

2. Is the wool organic or just pure wool?  The terms "pure wool" and "natural wool" and "100% wool" do not mean organic. They can still be processed with chemicals and dyes. ORGANIC WOOL is free of all synthetic chemicals throughout the processing. Of all of these, organic wool is by far the most expensive to produce and certainly the best material to use in an organic mattress. We only use organic wool. The organic certificates can be viewed below.

3. How much organic wool (if it is organic wool) is in the bed? Is it 1/2” or 3”?

4. Is the Talalay latex OEKO TEX certified?

5. Is the mattress ticking (fabric) OEKO TEX certified?

6. Is the flame barrier all natural or is the bed sprayed with chemicals for fire-proofing? Some manufacturers, instead of using a natural flame barrier on organic mattresses, use the inexpensive way to fire-proof their mattresses.

greenmattressfactory.com's Dunlop and Talalay latex are 100% NATURAL latex. Our wool is organic wool, not just pure and we use 2" and 3" , not the typical ½” or 1” used in most other organic beds. Our mattress ticking is organic and we use a natural flame barrier with no chemicals. Be sure to ask these questions before you buy a mattress from any company and be sure you are comfortable with the responses and that you are getting EXACTLY what it is you are paying for and are expecting.
