F.A.Q.
+ Why
haven't I heard of Essentia?
We're a 3 year old company with an exciting new product that's getting a lot of attention for all the right reasons.
+ Why aren't you in Stores?
Our features and benefits ( glueless construction & natural memory foam ) puts conventional mattresses into question. ex. "do you mean the other mattresses have glues" or "is natural memory foam better for me?". Stores are hesitant to include our products because of this.
+ What is Natural Memory Foam?
All memory foams on the market are made with petroleum based chemicals except for ours. Wanting something healthier we developed a natural memory foam. It's more expensive to produce but results in a breathable product that's more comfortable and healthy to sleep on. more on natural memory foam
+ Is
your Latex Organic?
There are NO governing bodies certifying Latex as organic. If organic latex was available, we'd have it.
+ Why don't you use Wool?
Natural latex is firm and rubbery. Other companies will add wool on top to improve comfort. We top our natural latex with our natural memory foam, far more comfortable than wool.
Wool requires maintenance since it's a natural fiber. It should be washed annually unless chemically treated.
Wool is also used for merchandising purposes. Companies will add organic wool for the story. They also claim it's a natural fire retardant which it is, but wool alone cannot pass fire proofing tests. It's always backed with an FR chemical.
+ Why should
i choose your mattress over other natural mattress?
Comfort - Our mattresses are far more comfortable than regular latex mattresses topped with wool. This is due to our natural memory foam as it distributes weight much better than latex alone so there's no pinching on the hip and shoulders. Essentia mattresses are in a different league altogether.
Truly Natural Materials - Natural qualities vary in other mattresses. Not with Essentia. All our products are biodegradable. We invented and patented a natural memory foam because memory foam offered so much more in terms of pressure relief. We use the most expensive, most natural, best quality latex in the world. We developed an organic fabric because the certified organic cotton fabrics available to the mattress world had polyester fill and regular unbleached cotton backing. To do this we travelled to Italy, had them re-tool their machinery to handle organic fibers and extra wide fabric. We created a truly 100% unbleached organic cover with organic fill, organic backing and organic dyes.
People choose Essentia because they want the most comfortable, healthiest mattress in the world.

Is it easy to get used to a memory foam mattress?
It takes 1-4 weeks to adjust to a memory foam mattress if you're used to a spring mattress.
+ Is your natural memory foam heat sensitive?
Yes and No. It's over 90% less heat sensitive than regular memory foam. Unlike regular memory foam which takes minutes to adjust, our memory material takes seconds. So no matter what your desired room temperature is, our memory foam will have a consistent feel and adjust to your body quickly.
+ Are box springs or foundations required for your mattresses?
The ideal surface for a memory foam mattress is a flat ridged surface. So a Slatted bed, European style platform bed, or box spring with a flat surface.
Existing box springs can be used as long as they have a flat surface. Springs will interfere with the contouring support a memory foam mattress provides. Just placing a piece of plywood over the box spring usually does the trick.
+ What is the product care for an Essentia mattress?
- No flip or rotate required.
- If mattress gets wet, absorb excess by patting with dry cloth then let air dry.
- Machine wash mattress cover in cold water and mild detergent, hang to dry. Do not bleach.
- Place mattress on flat rigid surface.
