Description

This outstanding Mattress is made of 100% Pure Organic Cotton that is encased in a Natural Wool Barrier. While serving as a Chemical-Free Fire Retardant and a Natural Dust Mite Repellent, the Wool helps to moderates your body temperature in both warm and cool conditions. This Organic Favorite hits the target for many: US Organic Cotton, No Chemicals, Eco-friendly Processes, and a 100% Organic Cotton Twill Casing. The difference in this particular mattress compared to others is its ultimate Firmness; High quality materials are overstuffed into the mattress casing with increased stitching to compensate for the addition.

What’s it Made Of? And What It’s Not

USDA Certified Organic Cotton and Wool. This mattress uses only Organic Cotton (no poly pad fillers, unidentifiable materials, or “cotton-like” substances). This Organic Cotton is unprocessed and grown in the USA without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. Naturally Pure and Clean, this mattress has no toxic properties at all!

Fire Retardants, Chemicals and How to Avoid Them

White Lotus has done us all a great favor by making their mattresses in the way that they do. It’s pretty simple. Safety requirements mandate that most commercially made mattresses be treated with a fire retardant. The friendliest of those retardants is Boric Acid. White Lotus has found a way to give you a natural and affordable alternative to the use of chemical retardants, and that alternative is Wool. They use New Zealand virgin lamb’s wool that has been washed with mild detergent only-No Chemicals Added. The Wool is All Natural, but cannot be certified as US organic because the sheep are not raised in the US. BUT, we still benefit because Wool is rightfully recognized as an effective Fire Barrier, so it can be used in place of a Chemical Based Fire Retardant (without violating any mandates).

Boulder Style Means More

Plainly put, White Lotus uses the term Boulder to indicate that a mattress is to be made with Extra Everything. More organic cotton is used and more wool is used, making more tufts and more stitching a luxurious necessity. This process makes the mattress surprisingly taught and firm.

Other Options to Consider

We carry mostly the Dreamton Style, and the term Dreamton simply means that the clean green cotton is wrapped in wool, so no chemical fire retardant is used.

You can get any White Lotus mattress in a Boulder Style, and the term Boulder means that it has more materials and almost double the stitching and tufting (this is what you are viewing now).

If wool is not a desirable material for you, you might consider an All Green Cotton Mattress that can be made With or Without a Fire Retardant (and without the use of wool). You may also want to review the All Organic Cotton Mattress (no retardant/no wool).

If you like the essence of these mattresses, but think you’d like one with the addition of an Eco-friendly Foam Core, that’s available too!

White Lotus has been Hand-making Mattresses in the US since 1981

Green Cotton Vs. Organic Cotton

Green Cotton is not certified Organic Cotton. Green Cotton is Eco-friendly CLEAN (chemical-free) cotton that serves as a non-toxic and affordable alternative to the 100% Organic Options. White Lotus has structured their business and their manufacturing processes around reducing the use of chemicals while conserving and revering our natural resources, and we think they’ve done an outstanding job!

Mattress Vs. Futon

Sometimes these terms can be loosely interchangeable, but Not with White Lotus products. Mattresses are for Beds, are sold at a baseline 6” Thick (although they can be custom made to be up to 9” thick with an altered price), and have 4 handles sewn onto the side panels for easy moving and flipping. Futons are for Futon Frames, have no side panels or handles, and are sold at a standard 5” Thick (5” thickness is the maximum for futons because they need to be able to bend for the futon frame). Outer Covering is made from 100% Cotton Twill.
