See how Essentia compares to the rest.

When it comes to comfort, durability, health, and eco-friendliness, Essentia trumps.







Our mattresses outperform all types; memory foam mattresses, latex mattresses and spring mattresses. Competition falls short in all tests.

 

Pressure Relief
Comfort is determined by pressure relief. With Essentia mattresses, pressure points are eliminated so there's proper blood circulation, no tossing and turning. The result is an undisturbed, restful nights sleep. Pressure relief for Essentia's memory foam is an astounding 12.25 mmHg @ 200lbs, compared to the leading Tempur-Pedic measured at only 15-28 mmHg. See Essentia and Tempur-Pedic.

Sleeping in the wrong position every night affects your health. Spinal alignment is particularly important for proper disc re-hydration, blood circulation and an overall recuperative sleep. Our medical support mattresses are engineered for superior spinal alignment, support and comfort.

Essentia mattresses are easily among the best memory foam mattresses on the market.

 

How long should a mattress be comfortably supportive? 20 years+

- Spring mattresses lose 16% of their support in the 1st year.
- Memory foam mattresses are similar to couch foam when it comes to durability. Some lose support rather quickly, others feel good for years.
- Latex foam mattresses can last almost as long as Essentia mattresses depending on their quality.

Mattresses are surprisingly unhealthy. Not ours.
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.



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 which is 80% more breathable. By replacing the petrochemicals with natural ingredients such as natural latex, essential oils, plant extracts and water we've created a healthy alternative to petroleum based synthetic memory foam mattresses.

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. (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.

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.

Our employees don’t need protective gear and benefit from a safe work environment.

All mattresses are composed of layers. Both spring and memory foam mattresses are composed of layers. Some Essentia models such as our Beausommet and Dormeuse use our patented molding technology. Molding them together creates a permanent bond and exceptional and unique comfort explained here. All our other mattresses contain completely safe and non-toxic VOC free natural liquid latex and acrylic resin adhesive.


Facts:

 - Most adhesives used in mattress manufacturing emit toxic fumes for the first 2-3 years.
 - Fumes from some adhesives cause cancer according to the IRTA. (Institute for Research and Technical Assistance)
 - We inhale these fumes for 8 hours per night 365 days per year.
