ELECTROPEDIC
Your Comfort Is Everything · Since 1964
Certified organic latex from the rubber tree, certified organic cotton and wool on the outside, and a gentle inch of softer latex quilted right into the top. The Electropedic Organic Mattress is built for one purpose: the best comfort and the best support you have ever slept on. Select a firmness for your personal use, and take a health break.

For 62 years, Electropedic has specialized in helping people who do not take a good night's sleep for granted. Many of our customers have been through sore backs, stiff necks, tired hips and shoulders, and too many mornings of waking up worse than they went to bed. They come to us because they want to get it right.
This guide walks you through everything that matters when you buy an organic mattress: where natural latex actually comes from, what the GOLS and GOTS certifications guarantee, what is inside our mattress, why support is the number one consideration, and how our 10-Day Mattress Exchange makes sure you end up with the right firmness.
"The most important consideration when you buy a new mattress is how you feel when you wake up in the morning."
Every Electropedic Organic Mattress begins as a single seed of the rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis, a tree native to the Amazon rainforest and now grown on organic plantations throughout the tropics. Here is the journey, step by step.
The rubber tree's seed is planted in a nursery bed. Within weeks it sprouts, and growers raise the young seedlings with care before they are moved to the plantation.
Seedlings are planted in rows on the plantation. On a GOLS certified organic farm, the trees grow with no synthetic pesticides and no chemical fertilizers, only sun, rain and healthy soil.
After roughly six to seven years, the trunk is large enough to tap. A healthy rubber tree will then keep giving its milky sap for about 25 to 30 years without being cut down.
In the cool early morning, a skilled tapper shaves a thin, slanted groove into the bark. The white sap, called latex, slowly flows down the groove and into a small cup tied to the tree.
By late morning the cups are gathered. The liquid latex is filtered to remove bark and debris, then gently processed to keep it fresh for the trip to the foam factory.
The latex is whipped into a froth, poured into a mattress-size mold and baked (vulcanized) so it holds its shape. It is then washed and dried, leaving a springy, breathable latex core.
Every certified organic latex core is tested and labeled with its own GOLS sticker, so you can see for yourself that the latex inside your mattress is the real thing.
We layer the latex in your chosen firmness, add the one-inch soft latex comfort top, and zip it into our quilted GOTS organic cotton and wool cover, one mattress at a time.
Anyone can print the word "natural" on a label. Certification is different. Two independent global standards govern what goes into an Electropedic Organic Mattress, and both are verified from the farm all the way to the finished product.
GOLS certifies the latex inside your mattress. It covers the entire chain, from how the rubber trees are grown to how the latex foam is made.
GOTS certifies the cotton and wool that wrap your mattress. It is the world's leading standard for organic fibers, from the field to the finished quilted cover.
Most other mattresses have zero percent natural ingredients inside. The Electropedic Organic Mattress is made from just three: organic cotton, organic wool and organic latex.
Soft against the skin and naturally breathable, our GOTS organic cotton lets air circulate so the sleeping surface stays fresh and comfortable all night.
Wool keeps you cool when it is warm and warm when it is cool. It wicks away moisture and serves as a natural fire barrier, which is why we never need chemical flame retardants.
Harvested from the rubber tree and certified to the GOLS standard, latex contours to your body, supports your spine and springs back night after night for years.
When you buy a new mattress, the single most important thing is SUPPORT. Your body heals and restores itself while you sleep, but only when your neck, shoulders, back and hips are held in proper alignment. Too soft and you sag; too hard and you wake up with pressure points. The right firmness is different for every body.
That is why the Electropedic Organic Mattress comes in four different firmnesses. Our specialists will help you lie down on each one, talk about how you sleep and where you hurt, and match the firmness to your body's physiology.

A plush, cradling feel with gentle contouring. Often chosen by side sleepers and lighter-weight sleepers who want extra pressure relief at the shoulders and hips.
The balance of comfort and support that suits most sleepers, especially those who change positions during the night.
Solid, orthopedic-style support for back sleepers and anyone who wants their lower back held firmly in place.
Our firmest support for stomach sleepers, heavier sleepers and those who simply love a very firm bed.
Many of our customers, and many people in the bedding industry, consider latex twice as comfortable as other types of mattresses. The reason is the way latex responds to your body. It contours instantly to your shape, then gently pushes back, so you feel cradled without sinking in.
Memory foam slowly molds and traps body heat. Innersprings push back hardest exactly where your body is heaviest. Latex does neither: it spreads your weight evenly, relieves pressure at the hips and shoulders, and moves with you when you turn over. Its open-cell structure breathes, so you sleep cooler.
And latex lasts. It keeps its resilience far longer than synthetic foams, so the comfort you feel on the first night is the comfort you feel years later.
Most other mattresses on the market have zero percent natural ingredients inside. We spend more than eight hours a night breathing on our mattresses, about 120 whole days a year. It makes sense to choose healthy ingredients.

|---|---|---|
| Comfort & support core | Petroleum-based polyurethane foam and/or steel coils | GOLS certified organic latex from the rubber tree |

Choosing the right firmness is the most important decision you will make, so we make it easy to get it right. If after sleeping on your new Electropedic Organic Mattress you need a different firmness, our 10-Day Mattress Exchange Policy for $89.00 lets us change it. Because the mattress is layered inside a zippered cover, exchanging the firmness is simple.

Of everything we have built in 62 years, the 10" Electropedic Organic Mattress is our proudest. It brings together the deep, even support of GOLS certified organic latex with the cloud-soft luxury of a one-inch latex comfort layer quilted right into the top, all wrapped in GOTS organic cotton and wool.
It is the mattress we recommend most, because it delivers what matters most: comfort you feel the first night, and support that keeps your body aligned for years to come.
The built-in one-inch soft latex top, over buoyant organic latex, gives a gentle, luxurious feel without the sinking and heat of memory foam.
Four firmnesses, Soft through Ultra Firm, let us match the support to your body so your spine stays aligned all night long.
GOLS and GOTS certified, labeled piece by piece, zippered and serviceable, and backed by our 10-Day $89 Mattress Exchange.
The 10" is our star, and it has two siblings for different needs. Each is available in Soft, Regular Firm, Extra Firm and Ultra Firm, so you can try all of them in our showrooms.

GOLS, the Global Organic Latex Standard, certifies that the latex comes from rubber trees grown without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers and that the finished latex contains at least 95% certified organic material. Electropedic guarantees 96% organic latex inside, and every piece is labeled with the GOLS sticker.
GOTS, the Global Organic Textile Standard, certifies our organic cotton and wool quilting from the field to the finished cover. The organic wool also works as a natural fire barrier, so no chemical flame retardants are used.
The top of the mattress is quilted with one inch of softer latex foam. It works like a gentle soft latex pad built right into the mattress, adding a layer of pure comfort and luxury over the supportive latex below.
Support is the most important consideration. Soft suits many side sleepers, Regular Firm suits most sleepers, Extra Firm suits many back sleepers, and Ultra Firm suits stomach sleepers and those who love a very firm bed. The best way to decide is to lie on all four in our showroom with one of our specialists.
