Pros & Cons

Mattress Construction

The EOS Trilux Organic is 10'' thick. It's mainly built from an organic cotton and wool cover on top of three consecutive organic latex-based comfort layers. An mentioned above, the mattress comes in five firmness models of Plush, Medium, Cushion Firm, Firm and Extra-Firm.

What differentiates these models from one another is the density of the three latex layers they contain. As the following table illustrates, there are three variation of density levels: low (less than 4.3 PCF), medium (around 4.8 PCF) and high (5.3+ PCF).

The Queen, King and California King sizes are sold split in order to enable sleepers to customize the mattress independently based on their firmness preferences.

Cover: A quilt of cotton, wool batting and PLA fiber. These highly breathable materials wick away moisture and reduce heat retention.

Comfort Layer: Three successive layers of 3'' latex encased in cotton. The latex consists of various density levels, which affect the mattress' feel.

Base Layer: 1'' of cotton batting separating the latex layers from the mattress encasement

Encasement: Cotton fabric and fill plus two brass zippers.

Feel

The soft cotton, wool and PLA fiber make the EOS Trilux Organic's cover smooth and gentle to the touch. Being highly breathable, they also wick away and release body moisture keeping the upper surface of the mattress dry and cool even after long hours of sleep.

The way sleepers will feel the EOS Trilux Organic depends on it firmness model. The softer Plush and Medium models are designed to conform to sleepers' body and are cushier. On the other hand, the Firm, and especially, the Extra Firm models are much stiffer enabling minimum sinkage and maximum support making sleepers feel stable lying on the mattress. The Cushion-Firm model gives a more balanced feel, which combines cushioning and support.

Pressure Relief

Light and average side sleepers will prefer the Plush and Medium firmness models. The upper comfort layer of low density latex in both models will cushion their hips and shoulders mitigating pressure in these sensitive areas. The bottom comfort layer of medium density latex will give them the support they need to maintain a healthy sleeping position.

Heavyweight side sleepers should opt for the Cushion-Firm model. The upper comfort layer of low density latex will provide them with pressure reliving sinkage while the two consecutive layers of high and medium density latex will keep this sinkage at bay and prevent them from being swallowed by the mattress despite their heavier body.

Back sleepers who weigh up to 250 pounds will feel comfortable lying on the Cushion-Firm model. The low density latex in the top comfort later will pad their low and middle back soothing the muscles and preventing the accumulation of pressure. The high density latex layer below will keep their spine properly aligned.

Back sleepers heavier than 250 pounds will require a more robust mattress capable of coping with their massive body. The Firm model will be the best choice for them. The first and second layers of supple medium density latex will provide them with pressure relieving bounce. At the same time, the high density latex in the third comfort layer will elevate their body making sure the mattress won't sag under their weight.

Light weight stomach sleepers will get along well with the Medium firmness model. Their average weight counterparts will prefer the Cushion-Firm model. The soft low density latex in the top comfort layer of both models will target theses sleepers' abdomen alleviating pressure in their lumbar back. Lightweight sleepers will be sufficiently supported by the Medium firmness model. Their heavier counterparts will require the sturdier Cushion-Firm model.

Heavyweight stomach sleepers weighing more than 250 pounds will need the Firm model and even the Extra-firm model in case their weight exceeds 300 pounds. The bouncy medium density latex in both models' first comfort layer will alleviate pressure in their waist line and hips. The medium density and high density latex layers in the Firm model or the two layers of high density latex in the Extra-Firm model will generate the lift necessary to avert excess sinking which might throw their spine out of its natural alignment causing discomfort and pain.

Motion Isolation

The EOS Trilux Organic has no more than moderate capacity for motion isolation. On the one hand, it has thick layers of latex one on top the other without coils. These layers can impede some of the motion caused by sleeper' movements. Moreover, the lack of coils means there is nothing to create vibrations throughout the mattress.

On the other hand, being more responsive and less contouring, latex tends to transfer much more motion than foam. In an all-latex mattress, such as the EOS Trilux Organic, that can be quite problematic for light sleepers who are disturbed every time their partner tosses and turns.

Naturally, there is a difference in the ability of the EOS Trilux Organic's firmness models to isolate motion. The Plush, Medium and Cushion-Firm models whose first comfort layer consists of low density latex cope more effectively with sleepers' movements. The soft and confirming latex can better absorb the energy generated by these movements.

Repositioning

The EOS Trilux Organic scores high when it comes to ease of movement. The responsive latex prevents sleepers from being stuck in bed and enables them to change their sleeping positions without exerting too much efforts.

The firmer the model is, the more easily it becomes to move on the mattress' surface due to reduced sinkage. The Extra-Firm model with two consecutive high density latex layers allows the easiest repositioning.

Edge Support

The EOS Trilux Organic offers good edge support. The lack of a coil system may weaken the exterior, but the latex is bouncy enough to elevate sleepers' body when they lie away from the center. 

Going into specifics, the mattress' ability to avert sagging on its perimeter is a function of its firmness level and sleepers' weight. The Firm and Extra-Firm models are more stable on the edges. The Plush and Medium models are less stable especially for heavier sleepers.

Heat Retention

The EOS Trilux Organic effectively regulates temperature. Its breathable cover of cotton, wool and PLA fiber neutralizes body heat and wicks it away. The latex layers don't retain much heat compared to other materials, foam in particular.

As in the case of the other parameters discussed above, the EOS Trilux Organic's models cope with heat in a different manner. The ones containing less dense latex are more aerated and accordingly retain less heat. Following this logic, the Plush, Medium, and Cushion-Firm are the coolest models.

Fame & Foundation

The EOS Trilux Organic works well with almost the entire range of frame, foundations or adjustable bases available on the market as long as they're firm enough to carry its weight. If you intend to use a slat bed, you'll have to make certain the slats are no more than 3'' apart.

Trial & Warranty

The EOS Trilux Organic comes with a 100-night trial and a 30-night break in period. In other words, you can return the mattress for a full refund 30 nights after it'd been delivered to you and no later than 100 nights.

The mattress is backed by a 25-year prorated warranty. In the first 10 years, Naturepedic will repair or replace the mattress at its on expense. Starting at the 11^th year, the company will cover only 60% of repair or replacement costs. This percentage will decrease by 4% each year for the remaining 14 years. If the mattress is sold to a commercial facility, like a hotel, the warranty will be limited to 5 years, non-prorated.

The warranty extends to the original buyer only, and it becomes valid as long as the mattress was purchased directly from Naturepedic or from one of its authorized dealers. The warranty covers indentations on the surface deeper than 1.5'', manufacturing defect in the zipper and any physical flaw, which resulted in split or cracks in the latex even though the mattress was handled well.

The warranty doesn't cover normal wear and tear, minor imperfections and slight cosmetic flaws, naturally occurring aromas, accidental damage resulting from tears, stains and burning marks, dampness or mold, changing firmness preferences and allergies and sensitivities.

The warranty will be revoked if the law label is removed and if the mattress is ill-treated, put in an unsanitary environment, cleaned or stored inappropriately and placed on a foundation which is insufficiently supportive.

The Layer Swap Program

Any time you want, you can replace one or more of the latex-based comfort layers with any other layers of a different density level so as to change the mattress feel and prolong its lifespan. You can do that for free during trial. After trial, you'll have to pay for the swap. Prices depend on the type of layer you'll buy and the mattress' size.

The Bottom Line

The EOS Trilux Organic is more expensive than most other latex-based mattresses sold on the market. But high-quality doesn't come cheap. It offers great comfort and improved support, and it's ideal for those who like the bouncy feel of latex. Its configuration enables sleepers to choose between 5 firmness options and so find the feel the matches their personal preferences in the most accurate manner. Equally important, the eco-friendly and organic materials the mattress is built from, make it the right choice for environmentally aware sleepers.
