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.	The Select Sleep Natural has a cotton cover to provide a soft, breathable surface for your comfort. Cotton also provides just enough stretch so that your mattress is easy to assemble and that the cover stays taught. Polyester is never used in our covers. Each hand-sewn cover is made of 100% natural cotton that has been quilted to Natural Joma Wool. The 360° zipper makes assembly a breeze and allows you to replace and rearrange layers as needed, as well as remove completely for spot cleaning and airing out. Replacement covers are available.

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.	Latex is naturally hypo-allergenic. Its anti-microbial properties inhibit dust mites, mold, and mildew from thriving. Because latex is a product of pin core construction with thousands of tiny air channels that provide natural ventilation. Mildew, staphylococcus and other bacteria can't live in latex foam, making it the perfect choice for allergy sufferers and anyone wanting to breathe, fresh clean air while they sleep. It keeps you warm in the winter and cooler in the Labor Day. The natural properties of latex layers allow air to flow naturally in the mattress. Latex whisks away moisture and regulates your temperature throughout the night, without trapping heat like traditional mattresses. Joma Wool is a high-quality natural fiber, grown in New Zealand and used worldwide by some of the most esteemed mattress and bedding manufacturers. Using wool provides better airflow, efficiently wicks away moisture, and serves as a natural fire barrier for the mattress. Wool is a natural solution, unlike other fire retardant chemicals used in many mattresses.
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.	Latex relieves pressure that causes you to toss and turn at night. The ability of latex to gently support and conform to your body alleviates pressure points and dramatically reduces tossing and turning. The latex mattress itself reduces pressure areas by as much as 90%, thus ensuring a sound and comfortable sleep. Hidden inside latex is the secret to its adaptability and comfort. The natural and unique cell structure of the material allows latex to be flexible and envelop your body, while still supporting your body. The structure also provides relief for primary pressure points throughout the night. Dunlop latex provides essential support and often is firmer than Talalay latex. As a newer technology, Talalay latex provides a softer yet more consistent feel. For decades, customers have recognized that combining Dunlop base layers and a Talalay top layer provides the support most people need.

FAQs

Birch by Helix

Is birch mattress good for couples?

Yes, Birch mattresses are ideal for couples as they have excellent cooling properties. The natural wool and latex layers allow for breathability and prevent the mattress from retaining body heat, making it a good choice for couples who tend to overheat.

Does the birch mattress smell?

The Birch Natural mattress does have a strong initial smell which may deter some customers. However, it offers pressure relief, motion isolation, and heat diffusion.

What materials are used in a Birch mattress?

Birch mattresses are made with natural materials including wool, latex, cotton, and steel. More details can be found on the Birch materials page.

Sleep EZ Natural Latex

With this mattress, what kind of base may I use?

You can use any strong and solid base, including adjustable bases. However, you should avoid slatted foundations with gaps of more than 3" and box springs with actual springs. The mattress is made of latex foam, a naturally breathable, open-celled material, so it doesn't require a slatted foundation for cooling. However, a slatted base can improve breathability and reduce the chances of mold on the mattress cover in high-humidity environments.

How does organic Dunlop differ from natural Dunlop?

Organic Dunlop latex and 100% natural Dunlop latex are not significantly different. The organic certification for latex indicates that the production process uses less water and power, has a smaller carbon footprint, and has a lower environmental impact. This certification ensures that the latex is better for the environment and the workers, but the final product is the same whether the latex is 100% natural or organic. This is why there is no organic Talalay available, as the Talalay process is more complex, uses more water and electricity, and cannot meet the organic latex certification's reduced water and electricity usage requirements.

Is the latex blended or does it contain any man-made rubber?

All of the latex sold by us is made from 100% natural rubber harvested from a rubber tree. The final product is 98% pure rubber, with the remaining 2% consisting of natural fatty acids, natural soaps, and natural reinforcing agents needed for manufacturing.
