Organic Mattresses

OM, Inc. mattresses and bedding are produced in the only certified mattress Eco-Factory in North America, and consumers appreciate the fact that absolutely no synthetic raw materials can ever contaminate our factory (or products).

OM, Inc. mattresses are made with pure 100% natural rubber, certified organic cotton, and organic wool (a natural fire retardant), and meet all state and federal flammability standards (including California's AB603 and the 2007 1633 CPSC standards). And we do it without using toxic fire-retardant additives such as PBDEs or boron.

Organic mattresses and bedding represents the fastest-growing segment of the Specialty Bedding Market, and if you think you can't offer this option next to conventional mattresses, just check out your local supermarket's produce department. You will find them selling organic lettuce literally right across the isle from conventional lettuce. Consumers are demanding the choice.

 

 

What is the difference between an organic mattress and mainstream mattresses?
Organic mattresses are derived from natural materials. Conventional mattresses are made primarily of man-made materials derived from nonrenewable resources such as natural gas and petrochemicals. Plus, in conventional mattresses, fire retardants and other chemicals are used on cover fabrics and in paddings. (OMI's mattresses are made with naturally flame-resistant organic Eco-Wool, which keeps you safe without the use of chemical fire retardants).

 

What makes a bed organic?
It all begins with natural organic materials that are grown using sustainable agricultural methods. This type of agriculture maintains and enhances ecological harmony, conserves precious resources, and sustains the soil in both the short and the long term.

What are the natural materials used in OMI organic mattresses?
They are constructed with cruelty-free Eco-Wool, certified organic cotton, and 100% natural rubber latex -- all renewable, biodegradable resources. These natural materials are grown, processed, and manufactured without toxic chemicals.

Do organic mattresses come in different firmnesses, and do they have innersprings?
There are two main types of organic mattresses: Natural rubber, which is basically metal free, and innerspring. Both styles are available with different firmness options.

How is an OMI organic mattress made?
The inner core is made of either natural rubber latex or innersprings. The quilting consists of Eco-Wool and certified organic cotton battings, quilted between two layers of certified organic cotton fabric (ticking). The padding in our innerspring mattresses is simply certified organic cotton.
