The Egg Crate Mattress boasts an all-foam construction with a substantial 2.4 inches of egg crate foam as its top layer. This uniquely designed foam, resembling an egg carton, ensures exceptional contouring, pressure relief, and bed sore relief by evenly distributing body weight. Whether you're a side, back, or stomach sleeper, our Egg Crate Mattress has you covered with outstanding cushioning not found in regular mattress surfaces.
Those Seeking Exceptional Pressure Relief: The egg crate design provides enhanced contouring, cushioning, and body weight distribution, making it ideal for sleepers who experience pressure point pain or need relief from bed sores.
Side, Back, and Stomach Sleepers: Whether you sleep on your side, back, or stomach, the Egg Crate Mattress adapts to your body shape, offering balanced support and comfort across all sleep positions.
Lightweight Sleepers or Those Who Prefer a Softer Bed: With its plush, cushioning egg crate foam, this mattress is perfect for those who prefer a softer sleeping surface without sacrificing support.

The Dual Side Flippable Mattress introduces a simple concept: two firmness options in one mattress. You can choose between Medium/Firm or Firm/Extra Firm, and if one firmness does not suit your needs, you can switch to the other by simply flipping the mattress. In addition to the flippable design, you can experience the 7-zone support design and all the other benefits of our classic Organic Latex Mattress.
Unsure About Firmness Levels: If you’re not sure whether Medium, Firm, or Extra-Firm is right for you, the flippable design lets you easily switch between two firmness options without buying a new mattress.

Versatility Lovers: Whether you share a bed or want a mattress that adapts to changing comfort needs, the dual-sided design and adjustable layers make it a flexible choice.
To conclude, the Egg Crate Mattress and Dual Side Flippable Mattress both offer organic, all-foam designs but cater to different sleep needs. The Egg Crate Mattress features a contoured top layer that enhances pressure relief and weight distribution, making it ideal for sleepers with pressure point pain, bed sores, or those seeking extra cushioning.
The Dual Side Flippable Mattress provides two firmness levels in one, allowing sleepers to switch between Medium/Firm and Firm/Extra Firm for adaptable comfort. Both mattresses are eco-friendly, breathable, and built to last up to 20 years, with a 120-night trial and free shipping. Whether you prefer targeted pressure relief or customizable firmness, there's a latex mattress suited to your needs.
The Egg Crate Mattress has a contoured surface, but standard deep-pocket sheets should fit without an issue. However, if you prefer a smoother surface under your sheets, using a mattress protector or a thick fitted sheet can help even out the feel without compromising the pressure relief benefits.
The Egg Crate Mattress is designed for one-sided use, with the contoured egg crate foam on top for maximum pressure relief. Sleeping on the flat bottom side would not provide the same benefits, and it might feel firmer than intended.
The wool layer helps with temperature regulation by wicking away moisture and providing natural insulation. It also acts as a natural fire barrier, eliminating the need for synthetic flame retardants. The wool layer adds a soft, plush feel but does not significantly change the overall firmness of the mattress.
Unlike traditional two-sided mattresses that require flipping to prevent wear, the Dual Side Flippable Mattress only needs to be flipped if you want to change the firmness. However, rotating the mattress 180 degrees every few months can help extend its lifespan by evening out pressure distribution.
Latex is more responsive and supportive than memory foam. It contours to your body without the “sinking” feeling that memory foam creates. Latex also sleeps cooler, is more durable, and provides better bounce, making it easier to move around on the mattress.
Unlike memory foam, which tends to develop permanent body impressions, high-quality Dunlop latex is highly resilient and resistant to sagging. Even after years of use, the mattress should maintain its shape with minimal indentation. However, rotating the mattress occasionally can help distribute wear evenly.
The 7-zone support system is designed to provide different levels of firmness across the mattress, offering softer support for the shoulders and thighs, medium-firm support for the hips and back, and firmer support for the head and feet. This promotes better spinal alignment and targeted pressure relief.
Yes, but with caution. While latex is naturally heat-resistant, prolonged direct exposure to high heat can slightly alter its structure over time. If using a heating pad or electric blanket, keep it on a low setting and avoid extended use to maintain the integrity of the mattress.
No. Unlike synthetic memory foam, which often has a strong chemical smell due to off-gassing, these latex mattresses are made from organic materials with no toxic VOCs. At most, you may notice a faint natural latex or wool scent when the mattress is first unboxed, but it should dissipate quickly
For the Dual Side Flippable Mattress, a mattress topper can be added right away. We'd recommend a latex mattress topper or an egg crate mattress topper because of its benefits. Latex mattress toppers can help make the bed softer or firmer without sacrificing the responsive, supportive latex foam feel. Egg crate foam toppers provide the unique pressure-relieving feel of egg crate foam.
For the Egg Crate Mattress, we don't recommend adding a mattress topper initially. The egg crate foam layer works its magic only when the sleeper is lying on it, so if a topper is added, the pressure relief it provides may be inhibited. If you want to add a topper, do so after a few years of using the mattress. We recommend going with an egg crate mattress topper, as it is the best topper for replicating the sleep experience of the existing mattress.
Whichever way you go - flat topper or egg crate topper - we always recommend going for organic/natural latex ones instead of synthetic latex or memory foam mattress toppers. This is because memory foam toppers are made of polyurethane foam, while synthetic latex is made of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), both of which contain volatile organic compounds that cause chemical off-gassing. Additionally, they can retain body heat, leading to a hotter sleeping surface.
