The Soma Difference: Chemical Free Natural Rubber


Why Natural Rubber (Natural latex) Mattress?

Our goal has always been to seek out the most natural and chemical free products to enhance our customer’s sleep experience. With this in mind our natural rubber used in our Soma Certified Organic Mattress Collection is derived from some of the finest grade of Natural Rubber grown in Malaysian plantations with no herbicides used due to sheep who graze nearby to control growth on each plantation. Our natural rubber contains an anti-bacterial substance which is naturally anti dust mite due to the absorbency and moisture regulation similar in the properties of our organic cotton and wool products as.

Natural Manufacturing Methods Only

The latex sap/milk is manufactured by tapping the rubber tree otherwise known as Hevea Brasiliensis. Our latex sap is then taken to a location near the plantations to be made into natural rubber sheets by the afternoon to avoid destabilization of the milk after sitting for too long. This procedure ensures the purity of the product by baking the sap or latex milk into cores within 12 hours and avoids the use of chemicals and synthetic materials used in many production methods in Europe and North America. Finally our injection system only uses air, natural soap, and natural vulcanization agents to ensure Soma Organic Mattresses’ customers are sleeping on the highest quality organic bed possible. This pure substance then biodegrades naturally after a long lifespan lasting more than 20 years.

The Certification

Our certification for our natural rubber comes from Eco Institut of Germany. One of the most respected independent accredited testing facilities to ensure that the latex cores are free of chemical out-gassings and emissions. With this certification our customers can rest assure that a Soma Organic Mattress product has been tested for purity and authenticity.

The Soma Advantage

Each one of Soma’s natural rubber cores are individually covered in an organic muslin which is like a very thin organic cotton sock which protects the product while allowing breathability at the same time. This extra care provided to each core from Soma Organic Mattresses (www.somasleep.ca) ensures quality control that will add to the life span of each Soma mattress preventing gradual wear and tear. Other manufacturers that do not individually cover their cores will cause the natural latex to dry which will eventually affect the normal 20-25 year lifespan of the product. To continue our promise of a chemical free organic mattress none of our Soma Organic Certified layers of all natural latex rubber are glued together at anytime not even our King Size (Which is common practice).

In Closing The benefits of Soma’s Natural Rubber is simple latex baked on site ensures the purity of the natural rubber cores and avoids contamination that often comes from being shipped from region to region before its final destination, instead our cores are baked and shipped direct to manufacturing in Canada where the natural rubber is quilted to pure natural wool and organically grown certified cotton by master craftsmen, by doing this we don’t affect local jobs or ours instead together building a sustainable economy we all can be proud of. The final result is a product that provides:

Superior durability and elasticity (for a longer mattress lifespan)
Retentive Shape (This distributes each person’s body weight evenly)
A Stable and Flexible comfort layer (Providing a pressure relieving feel for a deep continuous nights sleep)
Thermo regulating and moisture control (Wicking moisture away steadies the heart rate to decrease tossing and turning)
Superior Breathability and Circulation (Prevents the growth of mould and mildew)

In today’s competitive society one of the biggest challenges couples often find is meshing schedules and similar interests plus sleep habits. For some its Tv others its reading, sometimes going to bed before 10 others finishing that report or some sort of work related project. Then theres the dreaded S Word (Snoring!!!!) and other forms of sleep problems and disorders. Too often one person upstairs one in the spare room, couch, den, basement, etc… just to get a decent night’s sleep. This can create unwanted tension in your marriage/relationship and put a cramp in your lifestyles.

Lifestyle: a manner of living that reflects the person’s values and attitudes. Exactly what the doctor ordered enter the Power Base Generation. Instead of sleeping downstairs or going to another room how about putting the snore feature on an adjustable bed allowing your partner to sleep while you sit up and finish that project or watch the TV program you wanted to see all week and keeping the bed warm at the same time.
Prodigy: an unusually gifted or intelligent (young) person; someone whose talents excite wonder and admiration; “she is a chess prodigy”. Ok an adjustable is not a child however it does have unique features that separate it from similar models for one the ipad/iphone application to control the bed and two its therapeutic massage features with a silent alarm so you don’t disturb your partner when you awake earlier.

So in essence what you have is an adjustable that suits every lifestyle combined with a mattress that is comfortable, healthy, will not give a body impression in less than 20 years, relieves pressure, is chemical free, and can be put in any position to ensure every person sleeps in the most desired postion while the mattress always retains it shape.
