You care about the ingredients in your food and household products, but have you considered what’s inside your pillows and mattress?
When you sleep on our 100% organic Natural Latex, you can rest assured that you’re sleeping on healthy, natural ingredients.

Latex is often called "white gold". It is a liquid found naturally in rubber trees, which neutralize up to 90 million tons of CO 2 annually. These trees have a inexhaustible source of natural raw material and they can produce it for up to 25 years.
With its magically feel and amazing breathability, Organic Natural Latex has long been the comfort material of choice in high-end luxury mattresses. With a micro-perforation up to 64 holes per 100 cm², we gain maximum ventilation to keep the temperature of your mattress and pillow cool and constant.

Cotton
In selected products we use 100% percale cotton 200-233 threads. Cotton is a natural plant fiber suitable for spinning and fabric manufacturing. The advantages of cotton are its ability to absorb moisture and its good behavior in temperature changes. Cotton fabrics are healthy and "breathable".
