Organic Latex Mattresses UK – 100% Pure Natural Foam

It may sound a little unusual to hear a latex foam mattress be called ‘organic’ — however, an 100% organic mattress is one which is made without any chemical pesticides, fertilisers, or other artificial components.
From the materials used, to the methods of production, organic mattresses minimise the amount of unnatural chemicals that you would come into contact with when sleeping on your mattress every night.
The best UK organic mattress retailer will thoroughly research where their materials come from, how they are treated before arriving to be assembled, and will always opt for natural production solutions.

An organic mattress, particularly an organic latex mattress, can have a number of benefits for your sleep, health and overall wellbeing. 

• Comfort. A natural latex mattress is an excellent alternative to man-made materials like memory foam. Organically sourced from rubber trees, latex foam has a naturally springy and breathable texture, which makes it perfect for mattresses. Synthetic foams are comfy, but often arrive with a strong odour, and through a process known as ‘off-gassing’, they can release foul-smelling and sometimes even harmful chemicals into your home. An organic 100% latex mattress will provide superior comfort and support by conforming to the contours of your body, without any harmful side effects or nasty smells! Whether you choose a single, double or king latex mattress, you’re sure to be comfy on one of the best latex mattresses in the UK.
• Temperature control. One of the biggest criticisms that people have of memory foam and synthetic mattresses, is that they can get very warm. Many synthetic foams absorb and store body heat, which can make for a very sweaty, restless sleep experience — particularly in summer! Natural latex foam is highly breathable, and doesn’t have the same issues with overheating. When paired with a 100% organic cotton cover, you can enjoy a sleeping environment which is both cool and comfortable.
• Anti-allergy. Latex is naturally hypoallergenic, and the tight cell structure in 100% latex foam mattress makes it a hostile environment for allergy-causing dust mites. Without any additional treatments, latex is resistant to mould and has antifungal properties, which make it perfect to sleep on. The natural breathability of latex also allows moisture to escape, so your mattress will stay fresh and clean for its entire lifespan.
• Better for your skin. Organic mattresses are free from trace chemicals, which can be irritating to those of us with sensitive skin. When you sleep on an organic cotton or wool cover, you can sleep safe in the knowledge that there have been no extra chemical treatments used that could react with your sensitive complexion. Simply pure, clean cotton and organic wool surround our latex foam mattresses — nothing more. 
• Better for the planet. If you’re looking for ways to reduce your impact on the environment, choosing a natural latex mattress can be an excellent step. When you choose a mattress which is organic certified, you can sleep well knowing that no toxic chemicals or harmful manufacturing processes have gone into making your mattress. Using natural materials and ethical practices can help to make sure that your mattress purchase is part of the solution to some of this century’s most pressing environmental issues — not part of the problem.

The first ingredient in an 100% organic latex mattress is, unsurprisingly, organic certified and ethically sourced natural latex. Unlike memory foam, which is petroleum-based, natural latex foam is simply frothed-up sap, safely extracted from rubber trees and then baked into a mattress. Latex is the closest natural alternative to memory foam, and many people find that they prefer it for its  natural cooling properties and soft, yet supportive feel.
The next all-important component to a good organic mattress, is a cover made of all-natural fabrics. A real organic mattress cannot be considered organic, unless both the fillings and cover are free from unnecessary chemicals. 
There are a number of natural fibres which can be used to make mattress covers — some of the most popular being cotton, wool, and even hemp! Wool which has been ethically farmed and sourced is essential, and the inclusion of this in mattress covers can make for a cosy, warm sleeping surface that you’ll love.
Cooling cotton is also a common feature in organic mattresses, for its smooth touch and breathability. Cotton plants, when sprayed with chemical stabilisers and fertilisers, are among the thirstiest plants on the planet. It can take six pints of water for one plant to grow a single cotton bud, whilst a cotton plantation using pesticides can essentially wipe out an entire local ecosystem. 
The organic cotton used in Una mattresses requires only half as much water as non-organic cotton and, as a result, can grow side by side with other plants without causing undue harm to the environment.

Unlike many other organic mattresses on the market, we don’t use any glues during our manufacturing process — only the best-quality stitching and long-lasting design. Our cotton and wool covers are also naturally flame retardant, meaning they have not been treated with any harmful chemicals which can ‘off-gas’ within your home.

We’re also proud to be selling the world’s first carbon negative mattress, which is both plant-conscious and affordable. Other organic mattresses in the UK can be expensive, but we believe that high-quality, organic mattresses should be affordable for everyone — not just the privileged few!

At Una, we specialise in making natural latex mattresses for everybody. Each person has a different firmness preference, body type and budget, so why should everyone have the same type of mattress?
