The design layer's organic materials include certified 100% organic cotton and wool and are free of polyurethane foams and toxic fire retardants.

The design of The Blu Dot Natural Hybrid mattress delivers a comfy feel with enough support to keep your back well-aligned during the night. You will wake up rested and refreshed. We found this mattress provides a supportive sleep surface for all types of sleepers — side, back, or stomach and will appreciate the adaptive support of the Natural Hybrid design.
This Hybrid natural mattress uses layers of natural talalay latex and organic wool combined with the latest coil technology, with a reinforced perimeter, for good edge support.

Blu Dot’s Natural Hybrid Mattresses are tested and certified by Certi-pur® and meet high performance, low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) for indoor emissions and air quality. Blu Dot Natural mattresses are also GreenGuard Gold Certified providing a safe non-toxic sleep surface without any chemical solvents and have been screened for over 10,000 chemicals by an independent third-party organization.

What Does "GREENGUARD Certified" Mean?
Greenguard Gold is a certification of low VOC emissions
If a product has been GREENGUARD Certified, it has been tested and scientifically proven to have low chemical emissions. It’s guaranteed to give off only low levels of volatile organic compounds, or VOCs.
VOCs are carbon-based chemicals (such as formaldehyde) that easily become vapors or gases. Mattresses, flooring and even wall paints give off VOCs. GREENGUARD Gold Certification means products emit even lower levels and incorporate a really low level of formaldehyde emissions specifically.
Blu Dot Natural Hybrid Mattress come boxed in vacuum-sealed roll-pack
Blu Dot Natural Hybrid Mattress is designed as a hybrid mattress combining pocketed coil springs with a 2-inch Talalay layer. The benefits of this are a more traditional springy feel, better support and allows more air to circulate so you sleep cooler
This IMPRESSIVE 11-inch-tall Blu Dot Natural Hybrid Mattress looks good on any bed frame and will work with all sleep surfaces from SLATS, the floor, a platform bed to adjustable bases
Why these Materials in the BluDot Natural Hybrid Mattress?
TALALAY VERSUS DUNLOP LATEX
Both types of latex have a springy feel, but the Talalay latex has an added bouncy feel and retains less heat. The reason is because during processing, Talalay latex forms tunnels that make it more breathable and slightly cooler. The extra bounce comes from an expansion that occurs during the freezing portion of processing. The two types look similar in appearance. A mattress or pillow made from Talalay latex maybe be slightly more expensive than other materials.
REASON FOR WOOL
Wool has awesome natural properties. It naturally regulates body temperature to keep you comfortable – cool in warmer temperatures, warm in winter months. It also acts as a natural fire barrier as it’s difficult to ignite.
POCKETED COILS OVER MEMORY FOAM
A good quality coil system will give you better edge support over a memory foam mattress and is more supportive for spinal alignment. Memory foams are made from petroleum chemical derivatives that can give off VOCs. (Volatile Organic Compounds — Gases and vapors released that can be harmful) Using coils is a less toxic option and that is why Blu Dot decided to use pocketed coils in the Natural mattress.
