Memory Foam is a fantastic invention. If you’ve ever sat on a memory foam mattress, you’ll know what I mean. Essentially, your body sinks into the foam, which moulds to your body shape. The foam then completely supports your body in its natural posture. Essentia have patented a 100% natural variation of memory foam, which uses natural raw materials rather than using nasty petroleum based chemicals.
The foam is made from latex and organic plant extracts, all sustainable plant-based resources. Due to the use of natural raw materials, the foam is actually allergy free. The foam has a 20-year warranty, and when you’re finished with it, the foam is completely biodegradable. Just think of all those mattresses that get dumped each year? This natural foam completely avoids landfill dump sites being filled up with old mattresses.
Essentia offer both memory foam pillows and mattresses. Their pricing is very similar to the conventional petroleum-based memory foam products, so you’re not paying a premium to have an eco-friendly product. Perhaps our eco-friendly future needs to draw on more lessons from nature?
