Spindle 10 Organic Latex Mattress Review |
The Spindle is an innovative all-natural organic mattress at a comfortable budget that sells direct to consumers. Spindle was launched in 2013 and has craved its reputation and prestige among people. Spindle uses 100% organic latex, organic cotton, and organic wool to design its mattress. It makes only one mattress: a natural latex mattress with a firm or medium-firm support level.
Natural latex is extorted from the sap of rubber trees thus is free of harsh chemicals found in other mattress materials. Latex being a tried material for natural, comfortable, and durable mattresses, the company chooses latex as the primary material for its mattresses.
The Spindle features an organic cotton cover that is Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified, organic wool batting with Oeko-Tex and GOTS certification, and natural Dunlop latex which is also Oeko-Tex certified thus is free of any harmful chemicals. The mattress is available in five sizes: Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, and King.
In this article, we will review the Spindle in detail. The review below highlights the key attributes, features, and pros/cons of the mattress.

Firmness defines how soft or hard a mattress can be; thus, it is a very subjective matter. A particular bed may be soft to one and firm to the other. It depends on personal choice, body weight, and type. Whether soft or firm, a mattress should support body weight, promote healthy spine alignment, and ensure comfortable and restful sleeping.
The Spindle is a 10-inch-thick mattress made of a 1-inch top and three layers of 3-inch all-natural Dunlop latex. Spindle offers two types of firmness: medium and firm, as it comes with one firm latex layer and two medium firm latex layers. The three-layered Dunlop latex offers contouring, pressure relief, and back alignment and support. The latex retains a traditional springiness that does not allow sleepers to feel stuck in the mattress. The Spindle is versatile as it will enable you to adjust the firmness levels by rearranging the order of the three latex layers. This allows you experience a different feel sleeping on the mattress each night. While purchasing, you can order the layers of the bed as per your comfort level.
The Spindle mattress is made with layers of natural Dunlop latex, wool batting, and organic cotton. Spindle’s latex is from the rubber tree ‘Hevea Brasiliensis’. Dunlop latex is durable offers bounce and breathability. The elasticity of latex is low; hence it will not compress directly under your body like memory foam or polyfoam.; instead, it will distribute the compression over the mattress, allowing you to experience sleeping ‘on’ the mattress, not ‘in’ the mattress.
The different layers of the Spindle are detailed below:

Repositioning describes the ability to change positions easily while sleeping. The buoyant nature of the latex makes the Spindle a mattress on which movement is relatively easy. The three latex layers regain their shapes quickly when the sleeper moves or changes position. Latex also does not hug too closely to the body like memory foam or polyfoam, so sleepers should not feel stuck in the mattress.
Buying a mattress can be difficult as there is a variety of them available in the market. The right mattress will give you relief from pain upon waking up. So, pain relief is vital for most people looking to buy a new mattress. Back pain can only be relieved when the spine is relaxed.
The Spindle will be medium or firm, depending on body weight and personal preference. The mattress gives a soft and bouncy feel without experiencing stuck or suffocation. Organic latex offers a sleep surface that conforms to your body with minimal sink. Pressure from the hips and shoulders are relieved, and the body’s natural curves are well supported while lying on the Spindle. Sleepers have the freedom of adjusting the firmness by rearranging the latex layers, thus enjoying the required comfort. This makes the mattress appealing and unique.
The suitability of the mattress for different sleeping positions is detailed below:
The most critical ambiance determining the quality and duration of the body’s recovery during sleep is a substantial decrease in the core body temperature. Spindle uses breathable materials like ventilated latex layers that help air circulate in the mattress’s interior, thus regulating temperature quite well. The wool batting reduces heat buildup and wicks away moisture from the sleeper’s body.
Motion isolation describes if movement made across one side of the mattress is felt elsewhere on the mattress or not. A mattress with good motion isolation will neutralize activity made on one side of the bed, thus assisting partners in sleeping peacefully.
Latex mattresses are not good at isolating motion. The Spindle, also being a latex-made mattress, is no exception. Latex layers may reduce motion but are unable to eliminate motion transfer completely. Thus, any movement made by one partner can be felt across the other side. The quilted cover helps dampen vibration, spreading across the latex layers.
Edge support defines the support that a mattress can offer around its edges. Edge support helps in stabilizing the perimeter of the mattress. It is essential for couples sharing their bed with partners, as poor performance may disturb their partners while getting in and out of bed, and limit using the full bed for sleeping together and while having sex.
Edge support isn’t impressive in the Spindle mattress. The edges tend to collapse or give a feeling of rolling down when one sits or sleeps near the edges of the mattress, respectively. So, if you like to sleep near the edge of the mattress or have a partner to share your bed with, you need to take this detail into stock before hitting the checkout tab.
Sleeping peacefully at night is as essential as eating good and nutritious food. Sleeping peacefully helps in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Each one of us sleeps differently, and our needs for comfort and support are also very different and unique. The U.S. Center for Disease Control claims that 1 out of 3 people has insomnia leading to various health problems. The

Why do mattress manufacture’s offer free trial period for online purchase of mattresses?
Whether you purchase a mattress in a store or online, you make a long-term decision that could impact your sleep health. When you buy a mattress in a store after lying on a few mattresses, listening to sales pitches, and getting some great deals, you are ignoring how you and your partner's body will react to the mattress. Any new mattress has a break-in period (adjustment period), and your body needs time to adjust to a better feel. Lying on a mattress for a few minutes in a store setting does not provide insight. Buying a mattress online further compounds the fact that you never got to touch or feel the mattress before you purchase. That's why mattress manufacturers offer an extended trial period to try the mattress in a comfortable home setting without any pressure and then make the call whether to retain or return.
