Why the Birch Natural Earned Best Organic Mattress for an Adjustable Bed

If you need a new mattress for an adjustable base, and you’re interested in beds that incorporate organic materials, the Birch Natural should be a lovely fit. Our reviewer, Stuart, put it this way: “The Birch Natural mattress should make a great bed for eco-conscious sleepers who want lots of bounce and a medium feel.”

This bed showcases a certification for its organic components from GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), and boasts additional credentials from organizations such as eco-INSTITUT and GREENGUARD Gold by UL Environment.

These latter certificates attest that the bed has been tested for certain harmful chemicals and emissions and subsequently been endorsed for use, not only for the general public but also for more vulnerable demographics such as seniors and children.

What’s the Birch Natural Mattress Made Of?

The Birch Natural’s cover is made with organic, fair-trade cotton. It’s followed by layers of organic wool that play a dual role: they add comfort and replace synthetic fire retardants.

A transition layer of Talalay latex provides both support and comfortable springiness, as well as cooling properties. The latex is 100% natural and sustainably harvested from rubber trees, resulting in a breathable, responsive foam that also relieves pressure from the body.

Beneath the latex, the mattress’s coil unit has individually wrapped springs to aid in motion isolation. The coils are also reinforced on the long sides of the bed so that you can sit or lie at the edge without causing it to sag. There’s even an additional layer of wool underneath the coils for increased stability and fire protection.

What We Liked

• Lots of responsiveness – The Birch Natural has a notable bounciness to its feel, which is a boon for combination sleepers, sexually active couples, and anyone who likes to reposition themselves during the night. Stuart agreed: “I really appreciate the way the latex and coils respond to my movements, helping me to switch positions easier without feeling stuck in the bed.”
• Edges that don’t dip – The lengthwise edge support is supremely effective. “It feels like I can really utilize the entire mattress,” said Stuart.
• Good for the environment and your home – This bed has undergone rigorous testing and earned multiple certifications that attest to the eco-friendliness of its materials.

Potential Drawbacks

• Might be too hard for side sleepers – “It’s not the softest mattress when I’m lying on my side,” Stuart commented. If you tend to feel a lot of pressure buildup in your hips and shoulders, we recommend outfitting this bed with a soft topper.
• Poor motion isolation – The springiness of this bed can cause some motion transfer. If you sleep next to a partner, you may notice their movements during the night. Per Stuart, “If you’re looking for something that absorbs motion … you may prefer memory foam over latex.”

Why the TEMPUR-Adapt Hybrid Earned Best for Side Sleepers

Note: To make sure you're viewing the hybrid version of this mattress, select “Medium Hybrid” under “Feel” on the product site.

This mattress combines the Tempur-Pedic® brand’s signature materials with the springiness of a hybrid construction, netting you a lovely blend of pressure relief and support. It’s full of unique comfort features, but thankfully, they don’t inhibit the bed’s ability to flex along with an adjustable base.

What’s the TEMPUR-Adapt Made Of?

According to Tempur-Pedic®, the hybrid versions of the TEMPUR-Adapt® tend to feel more plush than the models without springs. That’s because the hybrid beds begin with a 3-centimeter layer of TEMPUR-ES® material, an even softer variant of the original TEMPUR® material.

The original TEMPUR® material then makes up the next 5-centimeter layer, and both foams work together to respond to your weight, pressure points, and body temperature as soon as you relax onto the bed.

Underneath, a spring unit consisting of more than 1,000 individually wrapped coils ensures that this mattress feels pleasantly responsive. The springs allow for easy repositioning during the night, and reinforce the edges of the bed to prevent dipping or sagging if you roll near the borders.

What We Liked

• It lets you switch positions with ease – This hybrid mattress is especially suitable for combination sleepers, restless sleepers, seniors, and those with mobility issues, as the responsiveness from its coil unit helps users to move around on top of it.
• Iconic construction – The proprietary TEMPUR® Material gives these beds a unique edge. It creates a sleeping experience like no other with advanced pressure-relieving and motion isolating abilities, all while contouring and supporting your body.

Potential Drawbacks

• Not as cradling as other models – Although the top of this bed is quite soft, the coil unit will prevent you from sinking very deeply into it. If you’re looking for your mattress to “hug” you, you might want a different model.
• Short on cooling elements – This particular Tempur-Pedic® model doesn’t have as many cooling features as upgraded, pricier versions.
