The guys from Essentia contacted me to let me know they had a new location in Denver. I had never heard of them, but they appear to make just about the ultimate mattress: 100% natural latex (from rubber trees, not synthetic), zero VOCs, made in Canada. The top layer is a latex based memory foam, and apparently the only non-synthetic memory foam on the market. I have always stayed away from memory foam, as it is typically made from petroleum and emits a host of VOCs, so this looks interesting. Anyone have one of these and care to comment?
Hi Scott,
Please do some research before buying into their false advertisement. Ask for proof that their so called natural memory foam is in fact natural, because it isnt. They also cover their mattresses with Kevlar, which is a plastic fiber. Studies have shown that kevlar is shown to be cancerous. Kevlar is used to make bullet proof vests and tires. The only thing that is organic (and I am not even sure it is certified) is the cotton they use as the top cover for the mattress. Go check out “the mattress underground” you will get more info on their products.
Hope this helps and if you need more info, email me :)
