Rest easy, there are no toxic flame retardants used at Essentia!

Picking a non-toxic flame retardant that did not affect the performance of our mattresses was of utmost importance. This is why we use Kevlar fabric. While it is the most expensive flame retardant option, it allows us to use a non-toxic fabric that does not go against our Beyond Organic values. 

Essentia is proud to have an allergy-friendly and vegan mattress free of wool or wool padding. 

Think of the kevlar fabric much like a sock that we place the mattress in and then sew up on the open end, this is a fabric layer you will find under the GOTS-certified organic cotton cover. There are no toxic flame retardants sprayed or used in our GOLS and GOTS certified organic factory. 

Did you know that we are required by US law to use a flame retardant on mattresses sold in America.
