Catnaps or a long sleep - the right mattress is important!
Recently, we received a question on the Sanoviv Facebook Page asking for healthy mattress recommendations from our Sanoviv structural experts.
And the answer is:
Sanoviv recommends a natural memory foam mattress. In term of biomechanics, memory foam is best but the most common memory foam, Tempurpedic, is highly toxic and made with petroleum based chemicals. Since you sleep and breathe the air surrounding your mattress seven to nine hours consecutively each night, it is important to make the safest possible mattress decision.
The best company we have found to date is called Essentia, which is the World’s only Natural memory foam mattress company. You can find their products on http://www.myessentia.com
What about natural latex beds without any chemicals used in it.. Wouldn’t that provide the same support yet be made out of a natural substance?
The mattress website link that you provided requires that you be a member with a password. I am looking for a non-toxic mattress and really need this info. Please send me a link that is functional to access the site.

it is the world’s only natural memory foam mattresses.
Most mattresses are made with toxic foams, glues, chemically treated fabrics and are a breeding ground for dust mites and other allergens.
Essentia mattresses are made from a slew of natural ingredients designed to keep your sleep healthy.
Essentia Natural Memory Foam
Breathability is a common and major complaint among memory foam mattress owners. This is because even the best memory foam mattresses on the market are synthetic and made from petrochemicals. Essentia developed a natural memory foam <http://www.myessentia.com/natural-foam> which is 80% more breathable. By replacing the petrochemicals with natural ingredients such as natural latex, essential oils <http://www.myessentia.com/purity> , plant extracts and water we’ve created a healthy alternative to petroleum based synthetic memory foam mattresses.
Benefits of our Natural Memory Foam
a) 80% better breathability.
Result: Breathes like cotton, not polyester. No trapped heat. You won’t get hot and sticky.
b) A foam that has no chemical odor and is free of harmful VOC’s <http://www.myessentia.com/certifications> . (off-gassing) Off-gassing causes eye irritation, skin irritation, headaches and migraines.
Off-gassing is recognized as harmful by health care institutions for patients with respiratory problems – why should they be offered to healthy people? Read more about chemicals in mattresses <http://www.myessentia.com/research/glues-toxic-components> .
c) A product than doesn’t pollute during manufacturing.
Over 1 million tons of toxic chemicals leach into the environment annually by petrochemical based memory foams and glues.
And the price are very reasonable!!
