Eco Terra Beds Mattress Review

Product Description

The Eco Terra is a latex hybrid bed-in-a-box mattress that is sold exclusively by the American company Eco Terra. Eco Terra was created in 2016 with the purpose of providing environmentally friendly mattresses, as seen by the company’s use of natural and sustainable materials.

This review focuses on the essential characteristics, features, advantages and disadvantages of the Eco Terra mattress.

The Eco Terra® Hybrid Latex Mattress is handcrafted in the United States. It has a soft, breathable organic cotton cover with organic wool, as well as a supportive fabric-encased coil core. The brand has collaborated with sustainable Asian farms to get 100 percent natural latex that has been verified by ECO-INSTITUT Standard 100 to be free of hazardous elements. Eco Terra only utilizes latex from a single source, never a latex blend or synthetics. The latex is seamless, so there’s no chance of a mattress breaking down, and the brand doesn’t employ any chemical adhesive.

When it comes to comfort and support, the all-natural latex and carefully calibrated coils deliver the best of both worlds. You receive the unrivaled comfort of natural latex combined with the exceptional support that only our heat-treated and stress-relieved steel coils can provide. In whatever position, your back, hips, and shoulders will fall into perfect alignment, allowing you to sleep deeper and more comfortably.

Medium (5) and Medium-Firm (6.5) mattresses are offered for the Eco Terra. One continuous 3-inch sheet of 100 percent Natural latex is used for both firmnesses. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, 100 percent natural Talalay latex from tree-tapped and sustainable sources; GOTS organic and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified wool; and GOTS organic certified cotton are used to make the mattresses.

The Eco Terra has a bouncy, durable feel regardless of its firmness setting. Even in the medium firmness option, Talalay latex delivers a sleep surface that cradles the body without severe shaping. Latex hybrid mattresses give the impression of sleeping “on” rather than “in” the mattress, which is typical with latex mattresses. Despite the fact that the Eco Terra has zoned coils, the difference between the gauges is not noticeable when in bed.

Three layers make up the 11-inch Eco Terra latex hybrid mattress. A fire-resistant layer of organic wool lies beneath the mattress’s organic cotton cover. The comfort layer is made up of a single 3-inch layer of genuine Talalay latex produced from sustainable rubber tree producers. The mattress’s support core, which is made up of pocketed recycled steel coils, comes next. Each mattress has 682 to 1,280 coils that are zoned to provide tailored support.

• Material: The Eco Terra Latex Hybrid mattress features a straightforward design that incorporates an integrated cover made entirely of organic cotton. A layer of 100 percent organic wool serves as a fire barrier beneath this. The comfort layer is made up of three inches of genuine Talalay latex. The 8-inch support core of an Eco Terra mattress comprises of 682 to 1,280 pocketed Quantum coils, depending on the mattress’s size. The coils are individually encased and constructed of recycled steel. These coils are tailored to give sleepers the most support possible.
• Sizes: All usual sizes of the Eco Terra Latex Hybrid are available: Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, and Cal King
• Pricing: Depends on size and variation
• Shipping & Delivery: Free
• Trial & Return: 90-night sleep trial, full refund, and pickup
• Warranty: 15 years limited mattress warranty

Pros & Cons

• Those who care about the environment
• Folks who enjoy the feel and comfort of latex mattresses.
• Those who sleep hot
• Shoppers who are on a budget

And, less ideal for

• Anyone in need of a lot of pressure relief
• Stomach Sleepers above 230lbs
• Those who love memory foam

Firmness

Whether a mattress feels firm or soft, is fairly subjective. All mattresses should be weight-bearing, encourage proper spinal alignment, and provide a comfortable and peaceful night’s sleep. Personal tastes determine whether a mattress is fluffy and spongy (what mattress businesses label soft or plush) or less so (what brands call firm).

Medium (5) and Medium-Firm (6.5) firmness levels are offered for the Eco Terra. The indentation load deflection (ILD) of the Medium latex mattress is 24-26, while the ILD of the Medium-Firm latex mattress is 29-31. Indentation load deflection (ILD) is a pound-force measurement of the force required to compress a polyurethane, latex, or other form of foam. The rating refers to the hardness of a single foam layer rather than the complete product. The harder the foam, the higher the ILD rating. One continuous 3-inch layer of 100 percent natural latex is used in both firmnesses. By cradling the body, both firmness options ease pressure.

For individuals who wish to use this bed with a companion, the Eco Terra has a total weight restriction of 400 pounds or 200 pounds per person.

The medium (5) feel of the Eco Terra should be a decent fit for most light sleepers. Side sleepers and back sleepers who like a somewhat softer feel may enjoy the medium version. The softness of this bed will cradle side sleepers, providing some wonderful give at the hips and shoulders. This bed should provide a good balance of support and pressure alleviation for back sleepers. Eco Terra is also suitable for those who sleep in a variety of positions. It’s a bouncing mattress, so it’s easy to switch positions. The Eco Terra medium, on the other hand, is not ideal for stomach sleepers. These sleepers require a firmer mattress to keep their hips and shoulders aligned.

The medium-firm version is a 6 on the firmness scale, and the comfort system is made of a firmer Talalay latex. As a consequence, there is less contouring and a firmer sensation to the skin. Heavier folks may find the medium version of this bed overly soft, causing them to sink deeper into the mattress and become uncomfortable. Experts recommend instead the medium-firm approach in this scenario. The Eco Terra mattress’s medium-firm choice is appropriate for back and stomach sleepers. This option provides far more assistance than the medium option. This is also a wonderful option for side sleepers who want firmer beds.

Material & Construction

The Eco Terra is a bed-in-a-box that combines latex with coils. Organic wool, Talalay latex, and pocketed steel coils make up the three-layered structure. The cover is made of certified organic cotton and has a wool fire barrier to help regulate temperature. This mattress comes in two firmness levels: medium and medium-firm. The height of this mattress is 11 inches.

• Cover: The Stretch Organic Cotton Cover is used to wrap everything. Only the softest organic cotton is used, which is stretched (not woven) to give the softest, most welcoming sleep surface possible. It protects the mattress from spills and provides a temperature-neutralizing, anti-microbial surface when paired with organic GOTS wool batting. When sleeping on the Eco Terra, the cotton and wool are both soft and breathable, providing the best in comfort.
• Layer 1: This layer is composed of Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified Luxurious All-Natural Talalay Latex, which ensures it is free of dangerous chemicals. The naturally sensitive, 100 percent natural latex molds to your body for unsurpassed comfort and support. This layer is designed to bounce back and react to your motions as you toss and turn during the night. Once you’re comfortable, the latex will conform to your body and provide support where you need it.
  The three-inch latex comfort layer on both the medium and medium-firm Eco Terra mattresses is the same, but the hardness and density varies. The medium Eco Terra mattress has a Talalay latex layer with an ILD of 24-26, while the firmer option has an ILD of 30-32.
• Layer 2: It is made up of 8-inch Fabric-Encased Supportive Coils. This layer is comprised of recycled steel, as part of the Eco Terra Mattress’s organic and sustainable manufacturing process. Quantum Coils are handcrafted to give just the right amount of support, zero motion transmission, and highly buoyant sleep. The pocketed coils promote ventilation, resulting in a cooler mattress.

Mattress Review and Rating

Repositioning

Sleepers can effortlessly shift positions thanks to repositioning. It is more difficult for the sleeper to change positions on memory foam and softer foam mattresses because of the sinking in characteristic. Eco Terra mattress, on the other hand, is ideal for back and side combo sleepers. It’s comfy in a variety of positions and sensitive enough to allow for easy switching.

Eco Terra’s responsive, 100 percent natural latex adapts to your body for unsurpassed comfort and support. Pocketed coils provide springy support while at the same time.

The medium Eco Terra mattress adheres to the body more closely, allowing sleepers to sink a little deeper. This gives you traction while allowing you to move about freely. Both firmness options immediately return to their original form and are scored similarly for movement ease. Combination sleepers who move positions during the night will benefit from the Eco Terra mattress.

Comfort, Back Support, Pressure Relief

When purchasing a mattress, it’s critical to consider if it provides excellent back support, spinal alignment, and pressure reduction. Maintaining adequate spinal alignment, when sleeping is essential for healthy back support. This implies your spine should be held in nearly the same posture as it is when you’re standing. Localized discomfort, stiffness, lack of circulation, frequent tossing, and other issues can occur when a mattress pushes back against your body with too much stress in a concentrated region. In general, side sleepers should be most concerned with “pressure points,” as this is the position in which your body’s weight is dispersed across the lowest surface area. It is less of a worry for back sleepers since the body weight is dispersed across a larger surface area, resulting in fewer pressure points. The capacity of a bed to relieve stress at pressure points located in the shoulders, hips, and lower back area of the body is referred to as pressure release.

Nevertheless, no mattress provides these two benefits to all sleepers in the same way. Sleepers of various weights, body types, and sleep postures will have variable spinal alignment and pressure reduction capacities.

Eco Terra has 3-inch single-origin natural latex for comfort, as well as sophisticated, pressure-relieving coils for support without disturbing your companion. The naturally sensitive, 100 percent natural latex molds to your body for unsurpassed comfort and support. It contours to your body’s curves for greater spinal alignment, while the zoned coils create enough bounce to keep your hips from sinking too far into the bed. Latex is a substance that excels in both pressure relief and support in general. While it contours the body, it lacks the sinking sensation of memory foam. For pushback support and buoyancy, Eco Terra couples this with fabric-encased Quantum coils.

The Eco Terra mattress is an 11-inch thick mattress with two layers and a cover composed of diverse materials. The mattress is available in two firmness levels: medium and medium-firm. The layers may differ significantly depending on which choice you choose. The Eco Terra mattress’s initial layer is constructed of luscious all-natural latex. This layer is designed to bounce back and react to your motions as you toss and turn during the night. Once you’re comfortable, the latex will conform to your body and provide support where you need it.

The coil layer of the Eco Terra mattress provides support. The Supportive Fabric-Encased Coil layer is next. It works to ensure that your mattress has no motion transfer at all. All of this is encased in a Stretch Organic Cotton Cover that protects the mattress from spills and provides a temperature-neutralizing, anti-microbial surface when paired with organic GOTS wool batting. The Quantum Coils in the layer bolster the mattress, making every inch of it supportive. When sleeping on the Eco Terra, the cotton and wool are both soft and breathable, providing the best in comfort. These layers work together to create a mattress that is both breathable and comfy.

• Back Sleepers: Back sleepers require greater support, especially around the hips, which can sink into softer beds and inhibit good spinal alignment. Back sleepers may pick between the medium and medium-firm options in the Eco Tera, according to their preferences. If sinkage is an issue, the medium-firm option should help to distribute weight evenly and keep the coils from squeezing too much beneath the hips. The latex’s contouring nature adds to this, providing excellent lumbar support.
• Side sleepers: For light people who sleep on their sides, the Eco Terra may be excessively firm. However, most side sleepers should find ample pressure relief from the individually pocketed coils when they compress beneath their weight, and the top latex materials should create a fluffy sensation that is appropriate for this sort of sleeper.
• Stomach sleepers: It might be more difficult to achieve appropriate spinal alignment for stomach sleepers since certain mattresses allow the hips to sink too far down. For “stomach sleepers,” stability and support are especially crucial to avoid back and hip discomfort. Most stomach sleepers will benefit from the medium-firm version of this mattress, which has a firm amount of pushback to avoid too much sinkage in the hips. The medium version is suitable for stomach sleepers weighing less than 120 pounds.
• Heavy sleepers: For individuals who wish to use this bed with a companion, the Eco Terra has a total weight restriction of 400 pounds or 200 pounds per person. Heavier individuals/couples will most likely require something with a greater weight limit. The medium-firm type is preferable since it offers greater support, preventing them from sinking too deeply. For bigger people, features like cooling and long-term durability of materials should make this a suitable pick.

Cooling & Temperature Control

Eco Terra’s cover is made of GOTS certified organic wool, which regulates temperature and is inherently flame-resistant.

The following are some of the cooling features:

• Breathable cotton cover with organic wool batting
• Cooling Talalay latex comfort layer, with its airy nature
• Individually pocketed coils that provide lots of airflow

Motion Isolation and Sharing a Bed

This category assesses how effectively a mattress protects other people in the bed from being disturbed when their partner rolls over, adjusts, or changes positions.

Hybrids can be difficult to isolate motion due to their coils, many of which create a large bounce on the surface. Softer hybrids do substantially better than their firmer counterparts in this area. Eco Terra has some spring and bounce due to its coils and latex. The soft cover and cloth that wraps around the coils, on the other hand, should aid absorb movement and decrease motion transmission. According to the company, there is zero motion transmission and the sleep is extremely buoyant.

Edge Support

Couples should pay attention to edge support since poor performance here restricts sleeping and sex to the middle of the bed rather than the periphery. Getting in and out of bed may cause your companion to become agitated, since the bed may flex when you sit on the edge. With all-foam mattresses, this is a regular occurrence.

When lying down on the Eco Terra Latex Hybrid, however, sleepers should sense a firm, constant degree of support all the way across the mattress, due to steel springs around the edges for additional edge support. Each coil has exactly the correct amount of give, thanks to two-wire gauges (a thinner 16 gauge for edge support and a thicker 15 gauge for center support). The medium-firm variant should give more stability than the medium choice, allowing users to sit on the edge with less compression.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

Back discomfort, whether chronic or transitory, affects everyone, young or old. Whatever the case may be, it is critical to be aware of where you place your head (and back, of course).

Latex is an excellent substance for pressure reduction and support. While it may be contoured, it lacks the sinking sensation of memory foam. For push-back support and buoyancy, Eco Terra couples this with fabric-encased Quantum coils. Eco Terra understands that each sleeper’s demands are different, thus they don’t offer a “one-size-fits-all” solution. As a result, this mattress is offered in two firmness levels: Medium and medium-firm, allowing sleepers to select the ideal solution for them.

• Side Sleepers: As the softer latex cushions pressure points and cradles the body, the medium Eco Terra mattress reduces pressure better for side sleepers weighing less than 130 pounds. Despite the fact that it conforms, this choice does not have the same sensation as memory foam. The comfort layer does not cuddle the sleepers or allow them to sink deeply into the mattress. However, on a hybrid mattress like Eco Terra, the medium firmness provides superior pressure relief.
• Back Sleepers and Stomach Sleepers: Back and stomach sleepers will benefit from the medium-firm Eco Terra. For these sleepers, the medium-firm latex comfort system provides a high level of support while decreasing pressure.
• Combination Sleepers: On the Eco Terra mattress, sleepers should have no trouble changing positions and moving about as needed. The coils of a hybrid mattress add bounce, so sleepers can move about freely. The Eco Terra’s buoyant latex comfort system aids in mobility. The medium Eco Terra mattress adheres to the body more closely, allowing sleepers to sink in a little deeper. This provides traction while yet enabling motion. Both firmness models immediately return to form and are scored similarly for movement ease. As a result, the Eco Terra mattress is ideal for combination sleepers who switch positions during the night.
• Heavy sleepers: Heavy folks exert a great deal of force and pressure on the bed. Such sleepers will find the medium version of Eco Terra insufficiently supportive. They’ll sink to the coil layer, which won’t be very pleasant. You can use the medium-firm option if you’re a heavier person.
