Cover	The Birch Mattress has a cover that is made using natural, organic cotton. It is designed to be highly breathable with a subtle stretch and soft touch.	Our new covers now have a hexagon pattern. Not only did we make the new mattress cover double-sided, so you no longer have to remove the cover to flip it, but we've made it in a way that clearly distinguishes which side is soft, and which side is firm by labeling each side and making them two completely different colors. This makes it much easier for the customer to know which side they're sleeping on, and also saves time in the flipping process. In addition, we are the first mattress company in the world to implement a proprietary "softening" process to our fabric which you'll be able to feel makes our covers much softer than any of our competitor's.

Comfort	Our materials come from nature - whether it be wool sustainably sheared from New Zealand sheep or latex tapped from trees. These premium materials are comfortable on your body and conscience. 100% all natural & organic Birch Wool provides unparalleled comfort and temperature regulation. Birch Wool is designed to retain shape with a natural elasticity of each fiber. Talalay latex is up to 7 times more breathable than other types of latex. Natural latex is also hypoallergenic and anti-microbial.	Sleep Cooler With Copper Ever notice that copper pipes are always ice cold? We've discovered that copper is the preferred material for most cooling systems because it doesn't hold onto the heat around it. This combined with our open cell memory foam results in your mattress never getting hot. Copper-Infused Memory Foam High density copper infused memory foam provides maximum comfort and cooling.
Support	We spent countless hours finding the right density of latex, quantity of wool, and type of steel springs to provide unprecedented comfort and pressure relief. Each mattress features a reinforced perimeter for best in class edge support. The coils that run along the outside of your mattress are actually firmer, so no more feeling of falling off the bed when lying down or sitting on the edge. Natural Talalay latex provides response to cushion your pressure points while giving support. Our latex is carefully managed to ensure consistency. Hundreds of individual steel coils help to cradle your body and provide support, while also limiting motion transfer. Additionally, the reinforced perimeter coils provide best in class edge support.	Joint Pain Relief The use of copper reduces joint inflammation and helps ease joint pain and stiffness. This is especially helpful for people with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. We want our customers to be able to move around with as much freedom as possible. Better Blood Circulation People wear copper bracelets to improve their body's blood circulation. Since copper emits a number of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, we thought that there would be no better way to improve your sleep than through improving your blood flow. 2.0 ILD Poly Base foam to provide overall support for the mattress in both comfort configurations.
