We produce chemical free mattresses that last 40 years. In July 2007 the Consumer Product Safety Commission began requiring mattresses to be flame-proof. The only way mattress manufacturers can meet the strict standards is to infuse their mattresses with fire-retardant chemicals. The CPSC admits that the chemicals that will be used are toxic. For instance, the CPSC report "Quantitative Assessment of Potential Health Effects From the Use of Fire Retardant Chemicals in Mattresses" reports, "Antimony trioxide [a fire-retardant chemical] would be considered 'toxic' under the FHSA [Federal Hazardous Substance Act]." They list in their report that all the fire-retardant chemicals used are toxic. They also prove that people will absorb the chemicals every night from the mattress.

Since the FR "law" went into effect, my business has been contacted by 33 people who reported getting sick from a new mattress. Most people report having experienced skin rashes and respiratory problems from their new mattress.

We produce an all natural latex mattress that has a record of lasting for 40 years, sleep like a dream, and are free from toxic fire-retardant chemicals. As is proof that these fire-retardant chemicals are toxic and harmful to some people, the CPSC has a loophole in their "regulation" that allows people to get fire-retardant free mattresses if a doctor prescribes one to their patient. They did this for the obvious reason that some people, in fact most people, are intolerant of the chemicals. As a result, if you want an outstanding mattress that is free of toxic chemicals, we will fax your doctor a prescription form to sign for you to buy one. Your health will be worth it. And since our natural latex mattress will last so long, your wealth will be worth it by preventing you from buying a new mattress for 40 years!

We purchased a King split mattress with the glide-away base that has the works. It was a large purchase but it's worth every penny, quarter, and dollar. We have had it since January 1, 2017 We absolutely love it never had a sleepless night or day the mattress is like we just purchased it and it's been 6 months. It's the mattress that is made for us weight wise I know if I would of purchased one from another dealer we would of had problems. So we don't have to purchase another. Thank you when I stumbled on to your videos
