The Latex Mat
This is our most popular baby mattress ever. It is designed to be a bit more supportive than The Coco Mat, which we achieve by adding organic latex foam as a core. Latex foam is wonderful stuff. The milky sap from rubber trees (Hevea Brasiliensis trees to be precise!) is collected every morning and taken along to a marshmallow machine (it's totally true) which pumps air into the latex to create a great vat of foamy white froth just like a giant cappuccino. This is then laid out in deep troughs that are put in a large oven to set. The final product is a wonderfully elastic and supportive material which has an open structure (lovely and breathable) and is naturally hypo allergenic. The best thing about our latex is that at long last we have managed to get it certified as organic! This is a worldwide first and we are pretty proud of it.
We are the only UK mattress maker using certified organic latex and certified organic coir (coconut fibre)
All of our coconuts are grown organically in Sri Lanka on farms that are certified by the Control Union as organic and environmentally responsible. We don't use any pesticides or chemical fertilisers, preferring to use organic compost to encourage a sustainable farming program. We are very fussy about our coconuts, in fact we are 'coco nuts'. It is very important to us that they are grown organically and sustainably and on farms that practice fair trade. The other key thing for us is that the density of our coconut pads meets with our strict demands - too dense is too firm, and not dense enough makes too feeble a spring - it has to be just right. Getting it just right is a nut we have definitely cracked!
Our organic lambswool comes exclusively from local farms around Devon and Dorset who are certified organic by the Soil Association. We then clean the wool on the edge of Dartmoor using water from the river Dart. The water is then filtered and cleaned and returned to the river without any environmental impact. The dirt and muck that is washed out of the wool then goes into an anaerobic digester to make organic compost. If this wasn't brilliant enough we then make the lambswool anti dust-mite by adding essential oils of lemon eucalyptus and lavender (also certified as organic by the Soil Association)
