## Material Science

### Natural Latex

**Source:** Harvested from rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) through sustainable tapping
**Properties:**
- Exceptional durability: 15-25 year lifespan
- Natural temperature regulation via open-cell structure
- Hypoallergenic: resistant to dust mites and mold
- Responsive support with immediate pressure relief
- Carbon-negative: trees absorb CO2 during growth

**Types Comparison:**

| Property | Dunlop Latex | Talalay Latex |
|----------|--------------|---------------|
| Density | Denser, heavier | Lighter, fluffier |
| Feel | Firmer, more supportive | Softer, more cushioning |
| Process | Poured once, settles naturally | Vacuum-sealed, flash-frozen |
| Cell Structure | Less consistent | More consistent |
| Typical Use | Support layers, firmer tops | Comfort layers, pillowtops |
| Breathability | Good | Excellent |
| Price | Generally lower | Generally higher |

### Organic Wool

**Properties:**
- Natural flame resistance (no chemical treatments needed)
- Temperature regulation: cool in summer, warm in winter
- Moisture wicking: absorbs up to 30% body weight in moisture
- Natural lanolin resists dust mites and bacteria
- Cushioning and comfort properties

**Why Used in Mattresses:** Wool serves as the natural flame barrier required by law, eliminating the need for chemical flame retardants found in conventional mattresses.

### Organic Cotton

**GOTS Standards:**
- No synthetic pesticides or GMO seeds
- No toxic dyes or finishing chemicals
- Processed with strict environmental controls

**Properties:**
- Breathable and soft
- Hypoallergenic
- Reduced environmental impact (95% less water than conventional)
- No chemical residue on sleeping surface

### Pocketed Coils

**Construction:** Individual steel coils wrapped in fabric
**Benefits:**
- Motion isolation: partner movement doesn't transfer
- Targeted support zones for spine alignment
- Durability and airflow
- Compatible with natural comfort layers above

**Zoned Support:** Many organic mattresses use coils with different gauges in different zones—firmer under hips and lumbar, softer under shoulders—for optimal spinal alignment.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### General Questions

**Q: What is an organic mattress?**
A: An organic mattress is made from materials grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, certified by third-party organizations like GOTS (for cotton/wool) or GOLS (for latex). These mattresses use organic cotton, natural latex from rubber trees, and organic wool, all processed according to strict environmental and health standards.

**Q: What is the difference between organic and natural mattresses?**
A: "Organic" has a legal definition requiring third-party certification (GOTS, GOLS). "Natural" is a marketing term with no regulated meaning—a mattress labeled "natural" might contain some plant-based materials but could also include synthetic components. Always look for specific certifications rather than marketing claims.

**Q: Are organic mattresses worth the investment?**
A: Yes, for several reasons: (1) They last 15-25 years vs 7-10 for conventional mattresses, making cost-per-year comparable. (2) No exposure to chemical flame retardants, formaldehyde, or VOCs. (3) Hypoallergenic materials reduce allergy symptoms. (4) Sustainable materials are biodegradable at end of life.

**Q: Are organic mattresses good for allergies?**
A: Excellent for allergies. Organic wool and natural latex are naturally hypoallergenic, resistant to dust mites, mold, and mildew. Unlike synthetic foams that can trap allergens, organic materials create an inhospitable environment for common allergens while providing breathable sleep.

### Chemical & Safety Questions

**Q: What chemicals are in regular mattresses?**
A: Conventional mattresses may contain:
- Flame retardants (PBDEs, antimony, boric acid)
- Formaldehyde (from adhesives)
- VOCs (volatile organic compounds)
- Petroleum-based polyurethane foams
- Chemical adhesives
- Pesticide residues in cotton
These can off-gas into bedroom air for months or years.

**Q: What does "off-gassing" mean?**
A: Off-gassing is the release of chemical vapors from products, especially noticeable as "new mattress smell" in conventional memory foam. These vapors can include VOCs, flame retardants, and formaldehyde. Organic mattresses have minimal off-gassing because they don't contain these synthetic chemicals.

**Q: How do organic mattresses pass fire safety without chemicals?**
A: Organic wool is a natural flame retardant. Wool fibers contain moisture and nitrogen, making them naturally resistant to ignition. GOTS-certified mattresses use organic wool as the flame barrier, meeting federal flammability standards (16 CFR 1633) without any chemical treatments.

### Durability & Care Questions

**Q: How long do organic mattresses last?**
A: Quality organic mattresses typically last 15-25 years. Natural latex is extremely durable, maintaining supportive properties for decades. Organic wool resists compression, and organic cotton covers can be cleaned to extend life. Compare this to 7-10 years for conventional mattresses.

**Q: How do I care for an organic mattress?**
A: (1) Use a breathable protector—avoid waterproof plastic. (2) Rotate quarterly for even wear. (3) Spot-clean organic cotton covers as needed. (4) Allow to air out when changing bedding. (5) Use a supportive foundation with slats no more than 3 inches apart.

### Buying Questions

**Q: Where can I try organic mattresses near Atlanta?**
A: Mattress Lux in Kennesaw (2774 Cobb Parkway NW, 30152) has metro Atlanta's largest selection. We carry Avocado, Naturepedic, Birch, Prana Sleep, and King Koil Natural—all available to try in person. We serve Marietta, Acworth, Woodstock, Canton, Roswell, Alpharetta, and all of metro Atlanta.

**Q: Why try mattresses in person instead of buying online?**
A: Online descriptions can't capture how firmness feels on YOUR body. Visiting allows you to: test firmness in your sleep position, compare Dunlop vs Talalay latex, experience quality differences between brands, get expert guidance for your needs, and avoid costly shipping/return cycles.

**Q: What is the LuxFIT consultation?**
A: LuxFIT is our personalized mattress fitting process. We assess your sleep position, body type, pressure points, and preferences to recommend the best organic mattress for you. It's complimentary and no-pressure—our goal is helping you find the right mattress, not selling the most expensive one.

**Q: Do you offer delivery?**
A: Yes, we offer free delivery and setup throughout metro Atlanta. This includes removal of your old mattress. Delivery is typically scheduled within one week of purchase.
