One Size Doesn’t Fit All –

Pick Your Unique Fit

We offer 14 different handcrafted mattresses; each one unique in comfort, designed for a particular feel and proper support. We will go more in-depth into the different factors you should consider when picking your perfect mattress. 

 Materials

The materials that make up a mattress deeply affect your quality of sleep. This is especially true if you or your loved ones suffer from sensitivities. For example, if you have skin allergies, you should make sure the materials are resistant to dust mites and mold. 

Durability

The number of layers and how they are bound together affect the durability of a mattress. At Ivy Organics, we use multiple layers of wool and canvas to hold the various decks of materials together. This allows our mattresses to maintain their integrity and ensure that they have a long lifespan.

Size: 

The size of the mattress depends on your height, personal preference, and room size. Below are the standard sizes: We can also make special sizes.
