What is the difference between a natural mattress and a regular mattress?

There is no established standard regulating and certifying natural in the mattress industry, which has led to some understandable confusion among consumers. Most mattresses are made of foams derived from petroleum and some use chemical fire retardants (not ours). If you are looking for something made from natural materials, check out Vispring and Urban Naturals. When you get down to it we’ve found that natural materials, like latex and wool, tend to perform better than synthetic materials.
