Natural memory foam is new to the industry. Developed and manufactured by Essentia out of Quebec Canada, they have achieved in eliminating all toxic chemicals found in regular memory foam mattresses.
Take a look at their memory foam mattresses and contour pillows.
Memory foams that are currently used by everyone in the industry are made with petroleum. Qualities vary greatly but good memory foam mattresses offer superb pressure point relief. The only downfall is the odor, they don’t breathe very well and are not very natural. Here’s a list of chemicals in mattresses.
Natural memory foam is made with essential oils, plant extracts and water for the most part. It’s breathes 80% better than traditional memory foams, is odorless and is far more eco-friendly. 1 liter of oil costs about $1. 1 liter of essential oils is close to $300. So the cost of producing their natural material must be very high. Once again, quality comes at a price.
Natural memory foam is a huge step forward in the mattress world. It should influence other manufactures to consider replacing their chemicals with more environmentally friendly alternatives. Currently, mattress stores are promoting soy based or green tea based etc memory foam mattresses. These mattresses only contain natural ingredients as fillers which never exceed 20% of the overall mattress so do your homework. The memory foam mattress industry is highly competitive and companies fight hard not to raise their prices. Most large companies now buy their memory foam from China. Natural materials tend to be very expensive compared to their chemical counterparts and companies avoid using them.
Memory foam mattresses will remain the most comfortable mattresses in the world. No spring mattress will ever come close. Natural memory foam mattresses and variations thereof are the future of sleep technology.
