Barbados Natural Latex and Coir Mattress
The Barbados is a luxurious, firm mattress.
It comprises alternating layers of firm, completely natural rubberized coir and pure soft, yielding 100% natural latex, all encased in organic merino wool, with a removable and washable organic cotton cover. The natural latex layers allow the mattress to closely mould to the contours of the body, whilst the rubberised coir layers provide firm support and breathability for luxurious relaxation.
Being a firm and resilient mattress, it is most suitable for those who sleep on their front or back.
Organic Merino Wool
Wool is hypoallergenic. Merino wool is made of the same substance as human skin - keratin, so it doesn't itch! Merino wool is significantly finer than traditional sheep's wool and feels more like silk. Wool is resistant to bacteria, mold, and mildew, which trigger reactions in some people.
Natural wool is not artificially made from crude oil like the synthetics used for most bedding. Wool is great for temperature control – it's warm in cool weather, and cool when it’s warm.
Wool is dust mite repellant. Dust mites living in bedding is one the leading triggers for asthma attacks. This is wonderful news for children and adults with allergies and asthma.
100% Pure Natural Latex
Latex is antimicrobial and dust mite resistant. It is a natural, renewable material an completely biodegradable. Used in mattresses, it is naturally cushioning.
Rubberised Coconut Coir
Coir is a natural fibre extracted from the husk of coconut. Rubberised, it provides structure and support.
Organic Cotton
Organic cotton is grown using methods and materials that have a low impact on the environment. Organic production systems replenish and maintain soil fertility, reduce the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers, and build biologically diverse agriculture.

Why Organic?
Choosing to buy organic products makes a big difference to the planet, wildlife, animal welfare, and ultimately, ourselves.
The organic farms that produce our cotton and other fibres work with nature using methods and materials that have a low impact on the environment. Organic production systems replenish and maintain soil fertility, reduce the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers, and build biologically diverse agriculture.
Animal welfare is paramount to the organic system. Organic standards for animal products are unparallelled - happy animals produce a better product.
Why Organic Merino Wool?
Merino wool is significantly finer than traditional sheep's wool and feels more like silk. Wool is resistant to bacteria, mold, and mildew, which trigger reactions in some people. Wool is hypoallergenic – people with sensitivities to chemically produced synthetics can sleep easily with pure wool
Wool is dust mite repellant – dust mites need moisture to survive. Wool evaporates moisture quickly and is inhospitable to dust mites. Fecal matter produced by the millions of dust mites living in bedding is one the leading triggers for asthma attacks. This is wonderful news for children and adults with allergies and asthma.
