We know Naturpedic comes from a good place. They use some of the same natural materials as Horizontal…respect! However, Naturpedic’s bed/mattress continues to mimic conventional petroleum bed/mattress design, with multiple mattresses stacked like a layer cake, with an enclosed foundation below. Remember “The Princess and The Pea” ? No matter how thick you pile up that padding, the bed does not get any more comfortable.

Like nearly all conventional bed/mattresses, the mattress industry’s Poster Boy, Casper, is made from oily petrochemicals. Toluene di-isocyanate, who-knows-what chemical fire retardant brew of the moment, polyurethane foam gels, memory foam, and always, other undisclosed chemicals. Unlike its namesake friendly ghost, Casper and cohorts are environmentally terrifying.
Casper describes ‘Platform’ as being made from,“..the same stuff planes and rocketships are made of, so you know it will last.”. So why is Platform’s warranty limited to only 5 years? And, why is Casper on this list? Because Casper’s own prices prove that for about $600 USD less, you could sleep chemical free on a Horizontal Bed for your entire life. Reduce, Rejuvenate, and Revise your expectations!
Duxiana is a well regarded bed maker. No doubt, in 1926 coil springs were the best choice, but human circumstances have changed a lot. So many springs, so many layers of springs.
