Natural Rubber Provides Flexibility and Resilience

We use only the finest grade of natural rubber for the support core at the center of our mattresses and overlays. Natural rubber is an ideal choice for mattresses because it is flexible, yet stable, for superior comfort. Natural rubber is also extremely durable lasting up to 30 years when maintained correctly. The latex rubber in all of our mattresses use the Dunlop process.

Where It Comes From Rubber is harvested by tapping the milk (sap) of Hevea brasiliensis (the common rubber tree). The trees grow in Sri Lanken and Malaysian plantations especially selected for their high-quality product. No herbicides are used in these operations, because sheep graze the plantations and control growth. When a rubber tree ceases to produce, its wood is used for furniture. The rubber trees are all FSC certified and the latex is Oeko-Tex certified.

The Hevea milk is processed close to the plantations, because the raw product destabilizes when kept too long or transported. Other manufacturers avoid the problem by adding chemicals and large quantities of ammonia or fillers. By having our rubber manufactured where the trees' milk is harvested, we also help to sustain the local economy. Jobs are created without depleting the natural resources of the country--a kindness to ourselves and the planet.

Our Rubber - Natural methods only An injection system produces the purest natural product--for mattress cores that will keep their shape. Only air, natural soap, and natural vulcanization agents are used. At the end of the mattress life cycle, the rubber breaks down, because it is a natural, biodegradable substance. Thus reducing the waste in our clogged land fills.

Glues and adhesives are never used in our mattresses. Each sheet is cut to size never glued together, so you never have to worry about uncomfortable bumps or ridges down the middle of the bed.*



ORGANIC COTTON

In creating everything from our bed accessories--such as pillows, comforters, mattress protectors, and overlays--to our carefully constructed suite sleep mattresses, we start with organically grown and harvested pure cotton. Absolutely no green cotton is used in our mattresses. Chemical-free and certified to the highest standards available today, our products allow you to sleep and to breathe naturally.

GOTS Stamp of Approval

A leader in organic certifications the Global Organic Textile Standard has certified the organic cotton in our mattresses and bedding. Their stamp of approval is not only a guarantee of organic standards, but also that the social rights of cotton producers are respected.

Benefits of Organic Cotton

All of the cotton used in suite sleep mattress batting, filling, and fabric is the cleanest, most pure organic product available today.

Void of toxic chemicals that might be inhaled during sleep

Comfortable and soft, so that skin is never irritated

Absorbent and breathable, maximizing air circulation and minimizing perspiration

Machine-washable to accommodate a busy lifestyle

Strong and resilient in shape, color, and texture--a must for aesthetics, functionality, and excellent return on investment



ORGANIC WOOL - Lends Warmth and Dryness

All organic wool batting and fill is 100 percent pure. Our wool is processed without chemicals, dyes, or oils, meaning that it contains no residues from the processing--just time-honored warmth and absorbency.

Incomparable Care

The wool comes from coarse wool sheep in the USA, where small family-run businesses take exceptional pride in their natural methods. The sheep are carefully bred and live a stress-free life. During the summer months, the animals graze on land that has never been used for agriculture, guaranteeing that it is free from contaminants such as pesticides, herbicides, and synthetic fertilizers. In winter, a well-ventilated, climate-controlled barn with clean floors is stocked daily with fresh bedding and a non-rationed organic food supply. The animals are also checked daily for continued health. The resulting fleeces--shorn from live animals, carefully sorted, and washed with only hot water and vegetable-based soaps (no detergents, chemicals, or chlorine bleach)--contain wool fibers that are strong and springy. The fleeces are then processed without the use of oils or bonding agents into wool that retains between 4% and 6% lanolin, a natural dust-mite repellent.

Oregon Tilth Certified Organic

We want to offer you a fresh-air sleep experience. Neither you nor your loved ones should be breathing any harsh chemicals during sleep. Therefore, all the wool used in our batting is certified to the Oregon Tilth Organic standard.

Benefits

The quality organic product achieved by treatment with only vegetable-based agents for washing, lubrication, and static control is just the start.

Naturally flame-retardant

Absorbent (it can absorb 30 percent moisture and remain dry--excellent in cases of "night sweats") esilient in form and shape, for comfort and for aesthetics Cool in summer, warm in winter (as light as a duvet, and easier to clean) Naturally repellent to dust mites



Renewable Pacific Northwest Hardwood

All of our box springs and foundations are hand-constructed in our plant from seasoned, untreated, carefully selected natural woods such as spruce and pine.

Where It Comes From

Incomparable selectivity in harvesting and manufacture The wood used in all Suite Sleep beds is obtained by the sustainable harvesting method and is FSC certified.

Our Wood - Superior Construction

The foundations are made exclusively of kiln-dried pine. The slats are strong, yet flexible, providing perfect support and unmatched comfort. These superior wood-framing techniques are then united with steel for further comfort and support. High-gauge steel support coils in mattresses are covered with a thickly quilted organic fabric pad. Extra-strong border wire is then used to reinforce the coils, holding them in place, so that the sides of the mattress are prevented from sagging.

Foundations can be set on legs or bed frames. The foundations are constructed of selected hardwoods, each piece individually crafted and fitted by a skilled cabinetmaker following a traditional European design. At the finishing stage, only the finest natural waxes and non-toxic oils are used on the wood.

Benefits of Untreated Wood

suite sleep wood is never treated with synthetic glues, dyes, or finishing sprays at any stage of production. Your home environment is therefore protected from the toxic "off-gassing" that accompanies the use of these harsh chemicals.
