QUEEN ~ Abundant Earth's
Natural Cotton Innerspring Mattress
and Box Spring with Organic Cotton Layers are the finest sleep
surface products made in
the USA.

Made in the USA ***
The
AbundantEarth.com Natural Innerspring Mattress with Organic Cotton
Layers sets the standard
for the way all natural cotton mattresses should be made. Our mattresses are made in an ultra-clean mattress
factory/warehouse, where no flame-retardants, fabric softeners or any
other
chemicals are applied to any products. Our premium organic cotton
arrives paper-wrapped and sealed in a thick organic
cotton fabric shell and is kept that way until it is used to make your
mattress. These organic cotton bails
and bolts are stored in their own special storage bays, free from
contact with
any non-organic products. Finally, our organic cotton is fresh, and is
typically
used within 3 months of arrival in the factory/warehouse. Just before
leaving our warehouse, your mattress is wrapped in an inert plastic
wrap to help protect the mattress on its journey to your home. The
plastic leaves no residue and keeps your mattress clean and fresh until
it arrives in your bedroom.
The
Innerspring Unit
We first start with the finest innerspring units available anywhere.
Unlike many mattress manufacturers that use lower quality
innerspring units
to cut expenses (and often hide this by boasting about high coil counts
rather than focusing on the quality of the innerspring unit), we start
with the finest European offset coil spring system developed. The top
of each
coil flexes independently for maximum sensitivity to body contours,
maximum body support,
and minimum friction. These old-fashioned Swiss designed heat-tempered
coils last longer than the "modern" innerspring coils used in most
mattresses. We don't want you coming back because you wore your
AbundantEarth.com mattress out in just a few years. We want you coming
back because our hand-made mattresses exceeded your expectations for
comfort, organic cleanliness, and exceptional quality and durability
and you want to add another of our famous mattresses to your household.
Our Innerspring Mattress
Features Include:
- Precise diameter and even coil
barrel, as well as heat tempered for longest lasting firm support.
- 100% working wire, every part
of the surface flexes.
- Open, unknotted tall coils are
more flexible and sensitive to body contours.
- Smaller coil diameter creates
greater surface coverage.
- Designed for edge support; the
barrel of each coil is positioned under the
border rod for support right up to the edge.
- Clipped border wire and side
support springs for firm edge support.
- Double heat tempered for
extreme durability.
Average Coil Spring Count
(may
vary with firmness):
Twin - 366
Twin-XL - 390
Full - 522
Queen - 642
Cal. King - 802
Est. King - 810
Organic
Insulator/Support Pads:
Between
the innerspring and the organic cotton padding, ideally some form of
insulating material is used in the manufacture of natural cotton
mattresses. This material is supposed to both keep the cotton from
"packing" into the springs, and provide an insulation barrier between
the metal springs and the cotton (which can wick heat away from your
body). Other organic cotton mattress manufacturers use a wire screen
between the innerspring and cotton. This screen may have a fancy name
to help convince customers that their bed contains some high-tech
flexible insulator screen product. Actually, this screen does keep the
cotton from packing into the springs, but provides little, if any,
insulation. To compensate, the wire screen is then wrapped in "virgin
paper cording." This "virgin paper cording" is essentially a very
strong
cardboard product. The problem is that cardboard is a
paper fiber that breaks down over time, but more importantly "virgin
paper
cording" is manufactured with formaldehyde.
Now who wants to order an organic cotton bed with formaldehyde
as one of its components? Still other organic mattress companies often
use support pads that are comprised of ground up scraps of various
synthetic scraps of materials that are glued to a nylon webbed
backing. Rest assured, Abundant Earth only
uses an
insulator/support pad made from our own high quality 100%
organic
cotton materials.
100% Organic Cotton
Batting:
Once we have selected the innerspring firmness you have selected,
we then wrap the innerspring unit with
generous layers of pre-compressed, first cut staple 100% chemical-free
and fire retardant-free certified organic cotton padding. No
polyurethane foam or polyester padding is used in our mattresses, so
you can be assured of a healthier sleeping environment.
100%
Organic Cotton
Cover:
The mattress is then covered by our premium 100% organic cotton fabric (known
in the industry as "ticking")
to give you years of refreshing sleep. Our certified organic cotton ticking is
woven into a beautiful comfort-soft fabric without the use of harsh
chemicals. Our organic cotton fabric ticking is the ultimate
choice for people with chemical sensitivities.
Tufting
for Longevity:
All of our mattresses are made by hand using age-old European mattress
tufting techniques. After
the mattress is covered with our luxurious 100% organically grown
cotton
fabric, it is then expertly hand tufted with European tufting straps to
further compress
the cotton padding, and maximize orthopedic back support and comfort.
Our European tufting
straps are superior to the machine-made "Button-Tufting" method used by
many organic mattress companies. The button or sting tufting method of
securing the cotton batting in the mattress uses string to hold the
cotton (and possibly wool) in place. These strings can stretch and even
snap making sleeping uncomfortable. They can also begin to work their
way through the cotton and be felt pressing into your back. This
Button-Tufting method also uses round buttons to compress the cotton
padding. Unfortunately, many of these buttons can become loose, break
or even get pulled out from the mattress also making it uncomfortable
to lie on. By contrast, our European tufting method uses reinforced
straps, which are sewn from one side of the mattress to the other and
are then twisted to hold in place. This method brings added comfort and
durability to our mattress.
Our uncompromising commitment to using only the finest materials,
combined with our hand
crafted care ensures that this mattress will provide years of
consistent comfort and support.
The Natural Organic Cotton
Box
Spring:
The Natural Mattress with Organic Cotton Layers may
be used without a
box spring on any of our platform beds, or more commonly, on one of our
Box Springs. Unlike box springs that offer very little
flexibility or
movement, the Natural Cotton Box Spring offers a more
comfortable sleep
experience--allowing the mattress to adjust to your body contours while
still
offering outstanding support throughout. The box spring itself uses a
poplar wood frame and metal spring set. It is surrounded by
organic cotton fabric ticking, and then surrounded by soft organic
cotton
batting. Finally, the entire unit is then encased in another protective
layer of
organic cotton fabric ticking.
Mattress Firmnesses:
The Natural Mattress with Organic Cotton Layers comes in our Standard
Firm, which is very
firm, but
with some give, and our
Orthopedic Firm, which is probably the firmest mattress in the
industry--much
like a soft rock! Click on the "Add to Cart"
button and then select your preference. Our natural cotton and
cotton/natural wool mattresses are firmer than almost all standard
mainstream mattresses.
-
Standard Firm ~
Best for over 98% of our customer who prefer a firm mattress, but need
the mattress to have some flexibility for side sleeping and where the
pressure builds up at the knees, hips, and shoulders.
-
Orthopedic Firm ~
Best for people who need an extremely firm mattress. This firmness is
sometimes recommended by doctor's for people with severe back issues
who need a bed with little flexibility. Also, some back sleepers and
heavier people prefer the firmness of the Orthopedic Firm.
For
added softness,
consider one of our
Organic
Toppers or our Organic Pillowtop Pads (see description
below).
Choose Your Mattress Configuration:
There are two different Abundant Earth Innerspring
Mattress Configurations for you to choose from:
-
Organic Cotton Only Mattress
~ Prescription Required (approx. 8.5" thick)
-
Organic Cotton and Natural
Wool Mattress (approx. 9.5" thick)
Flame Retardants, the Federal Government
and Wool:
All of Abundant Earth's mattresses
are free of chemical flame retardants. Nevertheless, federal law requires all sleeping surfaces
sold in the United States to be treated with a flame retardant.
However, don't panic! Keep reading.... An exemption is allowed for
people with medical need. Because the Natural Cotton Only
Innerspring Mattresses
contains no chemical flame retardants, a medical doctor's,
naturopath's, or chiropractor's prescription (must be licensed in your
state)
is required to purchase this bed
in order to meet federal flame retardant requirements. This prescription may be faxed to us at
847-485-5169 or emailed to sales@abundantearth.com and should say something
like "Patient needs mattress without wool or chemical flame
retardants."
Natural
Wool as a Flame Retardant:
Some manufacturers add "natural" flame retardants to their
fabric ticking such as boric
acid. However, we strongly recommend against these products as they
still may pose their own set of hazards to one's health and well-being.
By contrast, a natural flame retardant we do recommend for those who
are interested is natural chemical-free wool. Because wool acts as a
flame retardant, our mattresses with added wool, such as the Natural
Cotton with Wool Innerspring Mattress, do NOT require a
prescription. Wool is extremely durable and also has the added benefit
of retaining heat (keeping you warmer) when it's cold and dry, and
cooler when it's hot and sweaty (wool wicks away moisture helping to
keep you cooler). Wool also helps (just a little) with dust mite
resistance and it add just a hint of softness to your mattress. If you
are concerned about maximizing dust mite protection for your mattress,
you will still want the added protection of one of our
Organic
Cotton Barrier Cloth Mattress Covers.
Quilted Organic Latex and Wool Pillowtop
Pads for Added Softness: 
Optionally, you may order an Organic Cotton-Wrapped Natural
Wool and Organic Latex
Quilted Pillowtop Pad to add to your Abundant Earth
Natural Mattress with Organic Cotton Layers with Organic Cotton Layers
or another mattress you already own. Our
deluxe Organic
Cotton-Wrapped
Natural Wool and Organic Latex Quilted Pillowtop Pads are available for
those who want both a natural yet super plush bed experience. These
wonderful true natural rubber organic latex-core and wool pillowtop
pads take the edge off the firmness of your bed while still allowing
the mattress below to continue to provide support for your body. These
pads come in two different thicknesses. For a minimal pad, choose the
Standard 2" version, or for the ultimate cloud-like sleeping
experience, select the Deluxe 4" version.
Produced
from the rubber tree plantations of Indonesia and Malaysia, our latex
is sustainably harvested by tapping into the rubber tree in much the
same way as maple syrup from the maple tree. Shipped to a modern latex
plant in England, the milky white latex is converted into a mattress or
pillow core in specialized molds (Talalay Process). The core undergoes
four rinsing processes to eliminate rubber odors. In addition, our
latex is hygienic, hypo-allergenic and anti-bacterial. Unlike other
"natural" latex being sold which often contains a host of chemical
compounds added to the latex mix, our latex is truly pure and natural
and made with just natural rubber and a mineral compound necessary to
have the latex set up correctly during production.
Thoughts from an Abundant Earth Mattress Enthusiast:
"Thanks so much for your great products.
Before purchasing an organic mattress set and bedding I
researched many different companies and was shocked to
discover that many so called 'organic products' were not made with with
totally chemical free materials. In fact, I had read many reports where
customers actually got sick from some of them! After becoming
very discouraged and confused, I finally came across Abundant
Earth. The first thing that impressed me was the option of a
mattress set with no latex. I purchased a queen
mattress with [natural wool and organic cotton]. When I got
the mattress set I noticed an odor and immediately called Abundant
Earth. I was reassured that this was a natural cotton odor
and that it would disappear in a few days. I am happy to say
after three days it was completely gone and I absolutely love my new
bed and organic sheets and pillows! As a person who suffered
severely and eventually got quite ill from
a conventional flame retardant mattress I am overjoyed to
finally sleep in a comfortable healthy bed. No more waking up
with a puffy face, under-eye circles and headaches every
morning. Also, thanks for getting back to me so
quickly with the many questions I had."
