The Queen Dream Lite Latex Mattress is a two layer system with a very firm 6-inch 100% natural latex foam core topped with 2 inches of very soft latex foam, for a feel that is similar to the popular petroleum-based memory foam, but without the body impressions. Latex foam is resilient and springs back immediately as you move in bed. Unlike memory foam, there is no waiting for the foam to heat before you sink into it--the effect is immediate with latex foam. The latex center is then covered with layers of organic cotton and wool batting, which is quilted to a durable organic cotton ticking cover that is made in Germany. If you want to replicate the memory foam feeling in a healthier natural mattress, the Dream Lite is the right organic mattress alternative. Our natural latex mattresses perform just as well as the popular petroleum-based memory foam mattresses, with a couple of very important advantages: 1) Our latex mattresses are not soaked in a pound or more of cancer causing PBDE fire retardants, and 2) they don't outgas dangerous formaldehyde on your body for 8 hours every night. When you think about this, only a 100% natural latex mattress makes sense.
Latex mattresses relieve pressure points and promote proper alignment of the spine, making for a more restful sleep. They are also hypoallergenic and they naturally repel dust mites, and resist mold and mildew, which is a plus for people with allergies. Click here to view all of our 100% natural latex mattresses.

Latex mattresses are pliable and therefore do not use traditional boxsprings for a foundation. Latex mattresses require a firmer mattress foundation, like our platform beds, slat frames, or solid wood foundations. Our slat frames and solid wood foundations are covered in matching organic cotton ticking with organic batting for a nice finished look. Queen mattress size: 60 inches wide by 80 inches long by 8 1/2 inches deep.
Natural Latex mattresses and organic bedding are very important for your health and the health of your children. Virtually all commercially available memory foam mattresses are soaked in a pound or more of fire retardant chemicals. These mattresses also outgas formaldehyde as they age, which is a known carcinogen. Fire retardants, made of chemicals called PBDEs, build up in our bodies like the banned PCBs and have been associated with neurological damage and cancer. PBDE fire retardants have already been banned in Europe, but unfortunately not in North America. Natural Latex mattresses are the only way to protect yourself from 8 hours of exposure to these dangerous chemicals every night.
The Dream Lite Latex Mattress meets all state and federal fire codes, including the new 2005 California mattress fire code. No fire retardant chemicals or any other chemicals are used in any of our organic mattresses. This hand crafted organic mattress is made in the USA by Vivetique/Crown City Mattress Company, America's oldest manufacturer of organic beds.
