Why is your coil fabric polypropylene instead of natural cotton?

Strength and performance, including excellent moisture resistance, mold resistant, flexibility, stability, light weight and quiet.

The prime focus in our mattress design is function and performance not organic certification. While all our materials are certified chemically safe, mostly natural and some are certified organic we use polypropylene for our pocketed coil material because it performs better than cotton which is the only natural material available.

PP is quick drying which is important to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria inside your mattress. It is very quiet and does not make crunchy noises when you move in bed. It allows the hot-melt (solvent free) glue to bond tightly to it to prevent separation of the rows of coils guaranteeing exceptional durability.

As with everything else in life the right balance has to be struck between natural and functional and we believe that the earth is better served by a bed that has a long and well-performing life span compared to a 100% natural design where some components are of a lesser functionality and the bed has to be replaced in a much shorter time-span.

Our nonwoven polypropylene is a chemically safe material that has been developed over 50 years ago and since been widely used for all kinds of everyday applications (food packaging, clothing etc.) It is also used in the medical field for sutures, artificial vascular grafts, catheters and disposable syringes. It has been used for pocketed coils for decades and proven to work extremely well.
