Free of Off-gassing Chemicals

Many chemicals used to make conventional mattresses are highly toxic. Flame retardants such as antimony and boric acid (roach killer)…how could it be good to breathe those all night? Frankly, the idea keeps us awake.

Formaldehyde, TDI (toluene di-isocyanate), styrene, butadiene, and other petroleum derivatives are used widely in the mattress industry today. They may make it easier to manufacture a comfortable mattress, but their long-term effects are worrisome. These chemicals wind up in our bodies and what we can discharge enters the environment. Scientists have particular concerns about their effect on the developing brains of children.

How did it get this way? According to The Washington Post, federal agencies "often lack the authority and resources to monitor and control...[chemical] hazards. Of the nearly 80,000 chemicals regularly bought and sold today, according to the National Academy of Sciences, fewer than 10% have been tested for their capacity to cause cancer or do other damage."

This is what moved us to develop the Savvy Baby Organic Crib Mattress. But all Savvy Rest mattresses are free of off-gassing chemicals, just as your sleep should be.

Hypoallergenic

Most mattresses and pillows—even most organic ones—are welcoming habitats for allergens. Dust mites, mold, mildew, and fungus cause breathing problems, stress the immune system and can trigger asthma attacks.

At Savvy Rest, we believe a nontoxic organic mattress should also be hypoallergenic, or you’ll just be trading one problem for another. Savvy Rest is made of natural latex rubber, in which dust mites can’t survive.

Pressure Relieving

We also believe a mattress should support you in supreme comfort. Most conventional mattresses, particularly those made with innersprings or coils, produce painful pressure points that cause you to toss and turn.

Natural latex rubber, the core of a Savvy Rest, is pressure relieving and promotes the deepest stages of sleep (stages 3 and 4). You can choose very firm, very soft, or any grade between (on each side) with our natural latex mattresses, depending on your body’s needs.

Comfortable

Our removable mattress casing is made with certified organic wool fiber quilted to certified organic cotton fabric (not cotton fiber—see cotton fiber vs. cotton fabric for the crucial difference). The wool’s lanolin is naturally repellent to dust mites and microscopic scales covering each strand keep the internal ticking environment dry. So you’ll sleep warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer on a Savvy Rest.
