We all love a comfortable mattress to sleep on, right? Taking a nap on a comfortable mattress can make you feel as though you are floating. However, sleeping on a soft, cloud-like mattress isn't as enjoyable as some of us imagine. Our need for firm mattresses stems from this. The firmer the mattress, the stronger the sleeping surface for those who need it.
If you are a heavy person who loves to sleep on your back or stomach, then you definitely need a supportive mattress. Fortunately, Turmerry provides some of the best firm latex mattresses you can find on the market today! Exemplary support, great bounce, and timely response, our mattresses have it all. Read on to find out why a Turmerry latex mattress is the best firm mattress for you!
Turmerry understands the need for a firm surface beneath you as you sleep. As such, each of our three latex mattresses has been imbued with a great sense of firmness and strength! You are able to customize select mattresses to be “medium-firm” or "firm." We’ll soon be offering an “extra-firm” option for those who love maximum support.
The Dunlop latex we use in our mattresses is denser and more resilient than Talalay latex. Plus, with our quality construction, you can be sure to get a firm mattress that meets all your support needs!
We have three different latex mattress types—Latex Foam Mattress, Latex Hybrid Mattress, and Latex Egg Crate Mattress. Each has varying levels of firmness for you to choose from.
Turmerry’s natural and organic latex mattress is all-foam. It features three layers of Dunlop latex foam combined with a wool layer and an organic cotton cover. You can customize its thickness, of which you can choose 8, 10, or 12 inches. You can customize its firmness, of which you can choose soft, medium, or firm (extra-firm soon to come). And you can customize its size, of which all standard mattress sizes are available.
Bringing you the best qualities of spring and foam, the Turmerry latex hybrid mattress combines 8"pocket coils with 2" latex foam. These are then wrapped in layers of GOTS-certified wool and cotton.
Totaling around 10 inches in thickness, the hybrid offers you a medium-firm experience. It provides fantastic support with its spring coils and soothing comfort with its latex comfort layer. You can customize its size and choose from twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, and California king.
Putting a twist on the plain surface of our all-foam mattress, we introduce to you the egg crate mattress. It harbors a similar construction as that of its predecessor, but with an added layer of egg crate foam atop it. This egg crate layer offers an addition to the pressure relief front.
You can customize its firmness from soft, medium firm, or firm (extra firm coming soon). You can also customize its thickness from 8, 10, or 12 inches and its size from twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, or Cal king.
We would recommend the natural and organic latex mattress if you’re seeking the highest firmness. Just customize its thickness to 12 inches and set its firmness to "firm," and you should be good to go!
When you’re assembling the mattress, you’ll get three or four foam layers depending on the height you choose. These layers include two 'firm' latex foam layers, one 'medium-firm' latex foam layer, and an 'egg-crate' latex foam layer. Place one 'firm' foam layer as the base, then place the 'medium-firm' foam layer above it. After that, place the second 'firm' foam layer atop the 'medium firm' layer, and top it all off with the 'egg-crate' foam layer.
The natural and organic latex mattress is completely made from the Dunlop technique, ensuring greater support. And, no matter how firm you want your mattress to be, the egg-crate foam layer you get will guarantee that you have enough pressure relief.
Going by the definition in the Cambridge dictionary, firmness is "the quality of being strong and tight." In other words, a firm mattress provides a supportive sleeping environment with a strong, tight surface.
Any type of construction can be used to create firm mattresses. They can be all-foam as well as spring-type, consisting of both spring and foam.
All-foam mattresses tend to have denser foams than softer mattresses, so they are more supportive and less likely to sag over time. The three most well-known all-foam mattress types are latex, memory foam, and polyfoam.
In an innerspring construction, firmness is determined by the shape, gauge, coil count, and material. The two most well-known spring-type firm mattresses are hybrids and innerspring beds.
A firm mattress is ideal for people who prefer the supportive sleeping surface that firm mattresses offer. Always make sure you are certain that you want a firm mattress before making your purchase. A firm mattress might not be comfortable enough for some people, such as those who are thin or tend to sleep on their sides.
A firm mattress is best for heavy people. Heavy people need a firm, supportive mattress to avoid sinkage that causes spinal misalignment. Since a firm mattress helps to lessen pressure points, it is also great for people who experience back and joint pain.
Firm mattresses are also useful for those who prefer to sleep on their stomach or back, as they help maintain the spine's natural alignment. Overall, a firm mattress can be used by almost anyone who doesn't feel uncomfortable sleeping on it.
If you're a back and stomach sleeper - Each of these sleeping positions requires a supportive mattress to prevent spinal misalignment.
If you're a heavy individual - Heavy people, especially those over 230 pounds, should go for a firm mattress to avoid sinkage.
If you suffer from pains and aches - A firm mattress topper provides pressure point relief, thereby reducing the symptoms of aches and pains.
If you're a side sleeper - Side sleepers generally prefer soft or medium-firm mattresses, as they do not put much pressure on the sides and shoulders.
If you're a light individual - Thin and average-weight sleepers should go for a medium firm or soft mattress for better contouring and comfort.
If you like to sleep cooler - Certain firm mattress types, like memory foam, tend to use high-density foam for firmness, which leads to increased heat retention.
Buying a firm mattress online is the route we'd suggest you take. There are many online mattress retailers, each offering a different type of mattress. Whatever material or design you're looking for will be right at your fingertips. All you need to do is research a retailer's reputation, the kind of mattress you want, and the best offer you can find.
Shopping online also lets you alter your mattress however you see fit. This means you get a wide range of firmness options, from ultra-plush to ultra-firm. You can even increase certain features, like height, to enhance the overall firmness.
The mattress(-in-a-box) will be delivered to your door within a few days of placing your order. With fewer overhead expenses, online retailers can afford to offer free shipping and various discounts all year long. Plus, with the trial period you get, you needn't worry about being stuck with your purchase.
Shopping in a physical store is worth trying out, as you can touch and feel what you're buying beforehand. If you're unsure of the mattress firmness you want, trying out different types of firm mattresses at a store can be helpful. When shopping in person, look for the people who work at the store. They may be able to assist you in locating what you seek.
In-store shopping is inconvenient, however. To find a good mattress, you must visit several shops. Even then, it might not be as sturdy as the one you could have found online. Additionally, there isn't much choice when shopping in-store. If you find a good firm mattress, you will have to pay extra for delivery. You may even have to carry it back yourself sometimes, which is harder with a firm mattress, as they use denser foam.
There are several different types of firm mattresses on the market today. Latex, memory foam, innerspring, hybrid, and air mattresses make up most firm mattresses. There are benefits and drawbacks to each of these mattress types, so it's important to do your research.
Mattresses made from latex are either obtained from rubber trees or using chemicals. Compared to synthetic latex, natural latex mattresses are firmer. Their molecular structure is much more rigid, especially when made using the Dunlop method. Latex mattresses provide an excellent balance of comfort and support.
Natural latex mattresses have a higher price tag, but they come with unique properties that compensate for it. Among the benefits of this mattress are the cooling provided by the breathable foam, the exceptional bounce, and its lifespan of up to 15-20 years. Natural latex foam is also hypoallergenic, implying a lower risk of allergy and ease of maintenance. Check out more about latex mattresses here.
Memory foam mattresses are synthetic, manufactured by making polyurethane more dense and viscous. In comparison to low-density versions, high-density memory foam is firmer. They do, however, retain more heat than low-density foam, making the bed warmer while you sleep on it. Memory foam with a higher density also costs more than foam with a lower density.
Mattresses made of memory foam are renowned for their ability to conform. They provide exquisite levels of pressure relief and body adaptation to the sleeper. However, as a result of this, the amount of support you get might decrease.
Memory foam's heat retention and off-gassing are some other problems that might put off buyers. Open-cell memory foam that has been infused with gel or copper can help to address some of these problems.
Innerspring mattresses are traditional models using spring coils to provide heavy support. The spring coils, which serve as the support core, are either pocketed, continuous, offset, or Bonnell coils. The coil count (number of coils) and coil thickness indicate how firm an innerspring mattress will be.
With increased coil count and thickness, the price of an innerspring mattress will rise along with its level of support. A thin layer (or layers) of foam is also sometimes used by innerspring as a comfort layer. If you want a good level of firmness, the best comfort layers to choose from are latex and memory foam. A pocket coil spring layer can also improve motion isolation and provide personalized body support.
Hybrid mattresses are a modern version of innerspring mattresses. They, too, use spring coils as their support core to provide a firm, supportive mattress surface. The difference between hybrids and innersprings is that hybrids don't just offer support. The comfort layer in a hybrid will be given the same priority as the spring layer, resulting in a balance of comfort and support.
Increasing the coil count and thickness of a hybrid makes it firmer. The comfort layer of a hybrid, made of latex foam or memory foam, will already be thicker than that of an innerspring, resulting in greater firmness. A firm hybrid mattress will also have pocketed coils, which tend to give better support than most of their counterparts. You can get the best of both spring and foam mattresses with a hybrid, but it will cost more than an innerspring mattress.
Air mattresses, also known as airbeds, are highly customizable and easily portable mattress types. The mattress itself is made using Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) or textile-reinforced rubber/plastic. By manually or automatically pumping more air into the air chambers, you can make an air mattress firmer. Similarly, firmness can be reduced by removing air, making it simple to find the ideal firmness for you.
Most air mattresses are purchased for short-term use, like when traveling or for guest rooms. They can be purchased for low prices ($100-$500) or high prices (above $500). The higher-quality ones typically have foam layers made of latex, memory foam, or polyfoam. Aside from adding more air, increasing the firmness of the foam layer can also aid in making an airbed more supportive.
We want to disclose, first and foremost, that the best firm mattress will not be the same for everyone reading this article. Each firm mattress type has a different construction method, material, and price. It's possible that your opinion on one of these factors differs from ours, so in the end, only you can decide what is right for you.
That being said, we believe that natural latex is the best firm mattress you can find today. A harmony of support and comfort is necessary for the majority of sleepers. This harmony, and much more, can be easily achieved with an all-foam mattress made of natural latex foam.
Let's take a look at certain benefits that natural latex offers -
It is natural and safe to use - A certified natural latex mattress is devoid of harmful chemicals. This means they don't emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs), so people who are sensitive to chemicals can sleep soundly. Natural latex mattresses being eco-friendly also makes them good for the environment.
It is supportive and great for all sleep positions - Natural latex mattresses come in a variety of firmness options, including soft, medium, and firm. No matter what position you sleep in, a medium-firm or firm latex mattress offers enough support to keep your spine in neutral alignment. Make sure that the latex mattress you choose has a layer of Dunlop latex, as it is firmer than Talalay latex.
It provides great contouring and pressure relief - Although memory foam is frequently regarded as the best contouring mattress, latex doesn't lag far behind. The ideal firm mattress should have both support and comfort capabilities. Latex mattresses are elastic due to their rubbery origin. This lets them conform to your body's contours very well to provide a great level of pressure relief alongside firm support.
It is bouncy and responsive - When asked what latex mattresses are best known for, the most common answer is their bounce and quick response. Being rubber at its core, latex doesn't give the sensation of being "stuck" that you often get in memory foam. You can move around freely atop a latex mattress. Every time you move, the mattress readjusts in response to provide you with the necessary contouring.
It is cooling and breathable - Natural latex foam can create a highly cooling firm mattress thanks to its open-cell structure. Its breathability allows air to pass through easily and doesn't retain heat like memory foam. If the latex foam is perforated, then the cooling will be increased. Hot sleepers, who have been seeking a good, cooling mattress, will find latex to be an ideal solution to their problem.
It is hypoallergenic and easy to maintain - A latex mattress is hypoallergenic and will not aggravate allergies (except latex allergies). The hypoallergenic property keeps allergens like dust mites and mold at bay. It also makes cleaning the mattress easier.
It is resilient and durable - The average lifespan of a natural latex mattress can be anywhere from 15-25 years, depending on how well you maintain it. This lifespan is much more than any of its competitors, making your investment worthwhile. As they age, natural latex mattresses remain resilient for at least two decades, preventing any early onset of issues such as sagging.
As you can see, natural latex mattresses have all the ideal characteristics a mattress should have. Natural latex is the best option for a firm mattress, in our opinion. However, because the material is difficult to obtain, they are somewhat expensive. Your investment in a latex mattress is made worthwhile by the attributes you've read above.
Hybrids, innersprings, and memory foam are our secondary recommendations. Though they don't offer the same benefits as latex in many ways, they are less expensive and provide an adequately firm mattress surface to sleep on.
An ideal firm mattress, according to us, should contain the best features that a mattress can have. It should be supportive at all times, ensuring that your body and spine are in neutral alignment. There should be minimal sinkage. Memory foam mattresses tend to fail in this area, as their primary purpose requires them to provide some form of sinkage. Latex, hybrids, and innersprings, on the other hand, keep their surfaces stable and allow for little sinkage.
Even though support is given more importance, a mattress's comfort level should not suffer as a result. A good firm mattress will give the sleeper adequate comfort alongside the support. Pressure relief and contouring both contribute to comfort. The mattress should be able to follow the natural contours of your body, relieving stress and pressure.
Other important qualities of an ideal firm mattress include cooling, motion isolation, edge support, hypoallergenic property, affordable price, and a strong warranty.
When it comes to choosing the perfect firm mattress for your sleep needs, there are several factors to consider. This includes:
You must first decide on your budget. Prices for firm mattresses range from affordable options ($500 to $800) to luxurious models ($1500 and above). The best firm mattresses are made of high-density foam, but they are also more expensive. For about $1000, you can purchase a good, standard-sized firm mattress. You might even be able to buy a high-quality firm mattress for $1,000 or less during a mattress sale.
You'll want to consider the materials used in the mattress, as this will affect its comfort, support, and lifespan. Natural latex typically lasts 15 to 20 years and strikes a balance between comfort and support. Memory foam has a lifespan of about 10 years and offers more comfort than support. Spring types have a lifespan of about 10 years and will offer more support than comfort.
The firmness scale evaluates a mattress' firmness on a scale of 1–10. Mattresses ranging from very soft to soft are represented by numbers 1 through 3. Medium soft to medium-firm mattresses are identified by numbers 4 through 6. Firm to very firm mattresses are represented by numbers 7 through 10. A suitable firm mattress can be found in the range of numbers 7 to 10.
If you're shopping online, you'll have access to various mattress options. But until you receive them, none of them will be available for you to touch and feel. You'll get a trial period, so don't worry about feeling stuck with your purchase. If you go the in-person route, you'll be limited to a smaller selection of mattress types to choose from. Additionally, you won't benefit from the same price reduction that you would online.
Verify the legitimacy of the retailer by getting in touch with them or going to their address. Checking their reviews will also show you whether they have a solid reputation with their clientele. Always ensure that the retailer offers competitive pricing, a solid warranty, a clear return policy, and responsive customer service. This helps you get in touch with them and resolve any problems arising after your purchase.
Firm mattresses provide a great level of support.
Firm mattresses can help mitigate certain pains, like back pain.
Through pain reduction, firm mattresses can also help reduce stress.

When choosing the mattress firmness, we can classify body weight into three categories -
For sleepers weighing less than 130 pounds, it is better to go for a soft or medium-firm mattress. This firmness level can provide the right amount of contouring and pressure relief that you won't get from a firm mattress.
Medium-firm is the best option for sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds. People around 130 pounds can try out soft if it suits them. Similarly, those around 230 pounds may find a firm mattress to be more suitable than a medium-firm. But, medium-firm is usually the ideal choice in this weight category, as you get a balance between proper comfort and support.
Sleepers above the 230-pound mark should opt for a firm mattress. They can be deceptively soft in terms of comfort. They will also provide the proper support that you won't get in a medium-firm or soft mattress.
There are three common sleeping positions adopted by sleepers, namely - side, back, and stomach sleeping. Those who combine all of them are called combination sleepers.
Side sleepers will find medium-firm mattresses to be more suitable than firm mattresses. Their spine needs good support, while their hips and shoulders need good contouring to avoid pressure sores. A firm mattress will provide the support, but it may not be as effective at contouring.
If you sleep on your back or stomach, a firm mattress can be a great choice. Firm mattresses provide superior spine support and aid in keeping the spine in alignment. This helps a lot, as external factors, such as gravity, increase the risk of spinal misalignment in these sleep postures.
Furthermore, a firm mattress evenly distributes body weight. Since your body is completely spread out on the mattress surface, you won't experience discomfort as you do when sleeping on your side.
A firm mattress may or may not be comfortable for combination sleepers. It would depend on which sleeping position they prefer most, their body weight, and whether they suffer from pain.
Medium-firm is the most common choice for a combination sleeper, as it comfortably supports all sleeping postures. A firm mattress may, however, be appropriate for those who prefer back and stomach sleeping most, weigh over 230 pounds, and/or have pain that can be eased by a firm surface.
In terms of pains and aches, each individual reacts differently to firm mattresses. Some people find them particularly helpful for back pain, shoulder pain, hip pain, body pain, and joint aches. These are usually people who prefer a firm mattress to sleep on, such as heavy people and back and stomach sleepers.
Some people find that firm mattresses increase their pain. This is because sleepers experience too much pressure on the painful area, resulting in inflammation. It may even cause them to experience new, unrelated pains. Thin people and side sleepers are usually the ones who find a firm mattress uncomfortable to sleep on. Medium-firm mattresses are ideal for such people, as they provide adequate pain relief as well as support.
A mattress that is too soft will pull you down into it. Some people may enjoy this because it gives them the sensation of being hugged and is thus relaxing. However, there are some disadvantages to having a soft mattress. They pose risks such as spinal misalignment and pain inflammation, which can lead to problems in the future, if not now.
Here are some tips on deciding if your mattress is too soft -
You're feeling uncomfortable while you sleep.
You're waking up with persistent pain and aches in the morning.
You're unable to move around well atop the mattress.
You're sinking into the mattress and can feel its bottom layer.
You feel tired during the day.
Here's what you can do to fix it -
A mattress topper is an excellent bedding accessory that can firm up your mattress. It is a single layer of material that you can purchase and place on top of your mattress to change its feel. We would recommend getting a firm latex mattress topper, as it provides excellent comfort, support, cooling, and bounce. It will also last long, up until you can purchase a new mattress or another mattress topper.
Tuck your bedding into each corner of the bed, ensuring that it is tight and flat on the mattress. The bedding will provide you with more firmness by tightening the mattress through pressure.
Flipping and rotating your mattress on a regular basis keeps it healthy and prevents sagging over time. If you sleep on a single side of the mattress for an extended period of time, it will sink down and provide less firmness.
Airing out your mattress removes any moisture that has accumulated within it. Moisture can cause a mattress to become damp and less supportive. Maintain your bare mattress in a standing position (against a wall) in a well-ventilated room. Check that no direct sunlight is falling on your mattress.
Certain foams respond to temperature. Memory foam is one such mattress material that is sensitive to its environment. It softens in hot weather, similar to how body heat makes it conform better. It hardens in cold weather. Changing the temperature of your room with an air conditioner or thermostat may help firm up your mattress.
A mattress foundation is essential to a firm bed setup. Sure, you can simply place your mattress on the floor and claim that it makes it firm. But, leaving your mattress on the floor causes it to accumulate impurities, thereby reducing its integrity. A good mattress foundation, such as a metal, solid platform, or slatted foundation, can help firm up your mattress without ruining it.
Placing a firm substance, such as plywood, between the mattress and the foundation may help your mattress be even firmer. Think of it as a mattress topper for your foundation. It may even help reduce the eventual sagging over the years.
If the mattress is brand new and you are still in the trial period, you will be able to return it to the retailer. If you can do this, it is preferable to any of the steps listed above. Purchase a new mattress with your refund, or exchange the soft mattress for a firmer one from the same retailer.
After attempting all of the aforementioned techniques, some of you should have a mattress that is firmer than it was before. If you don't, your mattress is probably past its prime, and it's time to invest in a new one. Make certain that you purchase a firmer mattress made of high-quality materials this time.
Firm mattresses can be good for your back as they promote good posture and prevent spinal misalignment.
However, firm beds could prove to be too firm for some people, causing issues to their backs and causing them further discomfort.
Make sure a firm mattress for back pain is comfortable for you to sleep on before buying it.
Similar to a mattress that is too soft, an extra firm mattress can also be harmful. A lack of contouring can lead to pressure accumulation and spinal misalignment. Furthermore, any pain you have, such as back pain, hip pain, or shoulder pain, will be exacerbated by a mattress that is far too firm.
Here are some tips on deciding whether your mattress is too firm -
You constantly move around, trying to find a comfortable region on the mattress.
You're waking up every morning in pain or feeling sleepy.
The mattress feels too hard underneath you.
You get better sleep on a less firm mattress.
You are not getting the proper contouring and pressure relief.
Here are some things you can do to fix it -
A mattress topper can easily assist in softening your mattress. It is a layer of foam that changes the firmness of the mattress when placed on top of it. You can instantly soften your current mattress by purchasing a medium-firm or soft mattress topper. Certain mattress toppers, such as latex, can also provide additional benefits such as cooling, bounce, and so on.
If your mattress was recently purchased, you might want to give it some time to soften. New mattresses tend to be firmer in the initial stages. You can get them to soften up by sleeping on them frequently for a few days or weeks. This will cause their fillings to be more evenly distributed. Memory foam is one type of mattress that takes time to soften. It will become accustomed to your body by routinely absorbing body heat and pressure.
Firmer mattresses are more comfortable for back and stomach sleepers. The body is much more spread out in these postures, as opposed to side sleeping, where your sides and shoulders make sole contact with the mattress. By trying out different sleeping positions, you can discover which ones work best with your mattress' firmness.
Certain mattresses are double-sided, with one side being softer than the other. Latex is one such example, with Talalay latex being used for the comfort layer and Dunlop latex being used for the support core. You could be sleeping on the support core right now without even realizing it. Check to see if your mattress has a similar construction, and if it does, flipping it upside down may get you to the softer side.
Heat applied to certain mattress types, such as memory foam, can help soften the foam. Memory foam is particularly heat-sensitive, which means it will most certainly soften when heated. Sleeping hot is a disadvantage of increasing the temperature of the room, so if you prefer a cooler temperature to sleep in, this method may not be for you.
Certain mattress foundations, such as solid platform, slatted, or metal foundations, are designed to provide support over comfort. You can therefore soften your mattress by changing it to a box spring or sprung slat foundation. These provide extra bounce and cushioned support.
If you are still within the trial period, you should return the mattress for a refund or store credit. With an understanding of what kind of firmness does not suit you, look for one that does.
If your mattress isn't brand new and none of the above methods work for you, it's time to consider investing in a new mattress.
Make sure to consider the firmness of your current mattress and opt for a slightly lower firmness. This time, give the construction and material of the mattress some thought as well. Changing them from what your current mattress is made of may help you keep a softer, more consistent firmness for many years to come.
Besides firmness, there are several other factors that need to be taken into consideration when shopping for a mattress. This includes:
One of the most important considerations is size. Twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, and California king are the most common mattress sizes you can find.
Make sure that your bed is large enough for you and anyone else who may be sleeping in it. You also need to consider whether or not you want a split queen or king bed if more than one person will be sleeping in it.
The height of the mattress, sometimes known as its thickness, increases with the number of layers added to it. Increasing the height also increases the overall firmness of the mattress.
The common mattress heights are 8 inches, 10 inches, and 12 inches.
Different materials provide different levels of comfort, support, breathability, and longevity. Latex mattresses tend to do better than foam mattresses in some cases. Hybrid mattresses combine both spring coils and foam, providing a balance between comfort and support.
Open-cell foams provide better breathability and cooling than closed-cell foams. Different mattress materials also provide different levels of heating or cooling.
Due to their breathable construction and materials, latex, hybrids, and innersprings are cooling. Memory foam and polyfoam mattresses retain heat, so they tend to sleep hot.
In order for two sleepers to move without waking the other, movement shouldn't be transferred from one end of the mattress to the other. Latex, memory foam, hybrids, and innersprings all provide motion isolation to some extent.
Edge support refers to how much weight the frame of your bed can handle when sitting or lying near its edges. Some mattresses come with reinforced edges, while others require box springs and such for more stability around the edges.
A hypoallergenic mattress does a great job of preventing most allergies from flaring up. This is done by preventing any allergens from settling into the mattress.
Different mattress types have different lifespans. Latex tends to last the longest, with a lifespan of 15-20 years, when cared for properly. Memory foam, innersprings, and hybrids can all last up to 10 years with good upkeep.
The ideal warranty you can get for a mattress is one that mimics its lifespan. If you cannot get one that lasts that long, then at least get a warranty of at least 7 to 10 years for your mattress.
Putting together our mattresses might seem daunting at first glance, but we assure you that they are all incredibly easy if you know how. Turmerry mattresses are shipped in boxes to facilitate an efficient assembly process.
Once you're familiar with the components contained within these boxes, you'll be able to put them together in under 20 minutes. Let’s start with the Turmerry latex foam mattress.
The Turmerry Latex Foam Mattress assembly process takes about 10-15 minutes. It is shipped in four different boxes to reduce weight. The first box includes a zippered organic cotton mattress cover along with two complimentary pillows. The other three boxes include three latex foams of varying firmness.
Here’s how to assemble the Turmerry Latex Foam mattress:
Step 1 - Unpack the organic cotton zippered cover and place it on your bed frame.
Step 2 - Choose which layer you want as your latex mattress' base and place it over your organic cotton zip-up cover. For a soft mattress, choose the firm layer. For a firm mattress, choose the medium firm layer. For a medium-firm mattress, choose the firm layer.
Step 3 - Stack the next two latex layers, one at a time. If you want a soft mattress, make sure the soft foam layer is placed as the topmost layer. Proceed similarly if you want a firm mattress or a medium firm mattress.
Step 4 - Once you’re done setting up the three latex foam layers, zip up the organic cotton cover.
Step 5 - Proceed to make the bed as you see fit, and that’s it!
The Turmerry Latex Hybrid Mattress comes compressed in just one box as opposed to three or four. This makes it simpler to unpack and carry than the foam or egg crate mattresses.
Here’s how you can efficiently set up our Latex Hybrid Mattress:
Step 1 - Move the box to the room you wish to keep your mattress in. It will take you twice as long to unpack it in one room, then move it to the room you want.
Step 2 - Break open the box and take out the mattress gently. Do not be hasty, as you may end up damaging it.
Step 3 - Remove the wrapping from the mattress and stash it in the box or put it in the garbage.
Step 4 - Place the mattress on the floor or bed base and let it expand. Ensure that there is nothing beneath or beside the mattress that could damage it.
Step 5 - You can use it right away, but we suggest you let it expand for a few hours first.
Step 6 - Once it has expanded fully, which should be within 8 hours, make the bed and enjoy the fruit of your labor!
The Turmerry Egg Crate Mattress is similar in construction to the Latex Foam Mattress. The assembly process is almost identical as well and takes around 10-15 minutes.
Here's how you set up the Turmerry Egg Crate Mattress:
Step 1 - Unpack all the boxes and identify which contains what component.
Step 2 - Take the zippered organic cotton cover and place it on your bed base.
Step 3 - Stack up the latex foam layers into the zippered cover. Make sure the convoluted surface of the latex egg crate layer is at the top of the stack.
Step 4 - Ensure there is nothing trapped within the mattress cover that would harm the foam within. Then, zip it up fully.
Step 5 - Make the bed and enjoy the wonderful pressure relief offered by the mattress!
Note: Do not place the egg crate layer in the middle or on the bottom. It is the centerpiece that offers you additional pressure relief and contour. Always place it on top when you're stacking up the latex foam layers.
In caring for a latex mattress, there are things you must do and things you mustn't.
Invest in a mattress protector. They serve as the first line of defense against contaminants that could harm your mattress. In addition, mattress protectors make cleaning your mattress easier since all you have to do is wash it a couple of times a year.
Air out your mattress in a ventilated room every once in a while. It aids in wicking away any moisture in your mattress and keeps its integrity over time.
Clean your mattress on a regular basis. Gently spot-clean any liquid spillage with mild detergent, water, and sponge. Vacuum the surface of the mattress to get rid of dirt, dust, and food crumbs.
Rotate your mattress every 3-6 months. Bring the part where you place your head to where you place your feet and vice-versa. Remember - Rotate, don’t flip!
Dry your latex mattress away from direct sunlight. Sunlight has a tendency to weaken the latex foam's structure, which can cause it to die sooner.
Avoid using hydrogen peroxide. When spot-cleaning, only use mild detergents or soaps. Harsh chemicals will degrade the quality of the latex foam.
Avoid using the mattress before it is completely dry. A mattress that is moist will be more likely to attract microbes.
Avoid washing any of the foam layers or the cover. Avoid machine or hand washing and instead spot-clean. Then allow the mattress to dry completely.
The mattresses should not be placed in a dryer. Hot temperatures can loosen the tight bond between latex molecules.
