Comments on Norell's review of Natura Pure Green Mattress
Natura Pure Green Mattress
Description: Natural Latex Mattress.
Beware of the Natura World "Green Series" (Model: "Pure") Natural Latex Mattress
After purchasing their mattress (Manufacturer: Natura World, Line: Green, Model: "Pure") and bringing it home I read the little white label attached for legal purposes. It states...
This product contains Polyurethane foam!!! The ingredient is hidden under the descriptions of "high quality quilting foam," and "this mattress is 98% natural." Both I and the owner of the store I purchased the product from called the company and found out that the cover OVER the all-natural latex contains an inch of polyurethane memory foam! Now, anybody who is conscienscious enough to buy an organic, natural (what does that word even mean these days?), green or "environmentally friendly mattress" knows that this is the FIRST substance in mattresses to avoid!
This company tries to skirt around and carefully word their advertising descriptions to evade...
The fire retardancy standards are not met with the wool (as the advertising for this product would lead one to believe), the sides are doused in Boron (they hide behind that one by advertising "natural fire retardant" which is true, but this is an added factor in the evidence that this company is trying to cut corners and mislead their customers. The cover and top of this mattress are also made of a "60% cotton, and 40% polyester blend, although the advertising description just states "natural cotton."
Finally, the bright green shiny tag on the mattress states that "this product is free from all harmful chemicals and substances!" I can handle the cotton polyester blend and the boron flame retardant but regarding the 1 inch of polyurethane foam that tops this mattress, it is safe to say that this statement is an outright lie, as I got the head customer service representative I spoke to over the phone to admit to me.
I'm exchanging this mattress with full support of the store owner. I'm sad though because it was so very comfortable.

Your review is very helpful. I am in the process of searching for a 100% natural latex mattress and have heard good things about Natura's comfort. Do you know if the issues you mentioned are also a problem in their organics line? What mattress did you ultimately buy and are you happy with it? Thanks!

Natura World offers a fantastic Organic line of beds like the Eco Haven or the Eco Brillance, the Pure mattress is not an all organic mattress and is not advertised as such. Any one looking for an all organic mattress should have a look at www.naturaworld.com. The "Eco" line of beds are fantastic and chemical free.
