Two People, One Bed
October 12, 2009 Posted by The Healthy Hen
Many of us have experienced needing a softer or firmer mattress than our partner. One sleeps soundly (perhaps even snoring, as if to rub it in), the other does not. My rooster and I have gone through numerous beds the past eight years, trying to find one that works for both of us. Eventually, it felt like neither of us got any sleep.
Finally, we found a great solution: an organic mattress with layers of latex foam, split in the middle so we can customize how soft or firm we each want “our side” of the bed to be. It has three layers of natural latex on each side that are interchangeable, allowing versatility in the firmness. We ordered ours from The Natural Sleep Store, which had great options for natural beds, bedding and pillows. Although we did not initially seek it, we really appreciate that the materials are organic and natural, and still fire resistant per federal regulations despite not having chemical retardants in more common mattresses. We like our bed so much, that after a year, we also added an organic latex topper to our chick’s bed. She loves it. She sleeps more comfortably and soundly through the night, and we feel good about the product.
So to those of you tossing and turning at night (unless you are the lucky one who sleeps soundly), think about a change that is natural, safe and comfortable for everyone.

This is a wonderful idea,and probably will save hours to years of bedtime discomfort spats! Ability to adjust your side as you want and other side owner can do the same! and not have to sleep in twin beds~Bravo! Being all-natural materials and still fire proof~without ‘Added Preservatives’,job well done Natural Sleep Store! This sounds like a ‘Green Thumb’ purchase

I love organic bedding but I usually can’t afford it. The mattress sounds perfect. I love that two people can sleep comfortably– in my house one of us is usually tossing and turning. These mattresses seem wonderful for bad backs.

Society is looking more and more toward natural and organic foods and materials. I was interested to see that this blanket is both natural and organic and I would love to have one.

My story sounds so much like this one. My husband and I can never find a bed we both agree on. I love that this latex topper is “organic mattress with layers of latex foam, split in the middle so we can customize how soft or firm we each want “our side” of the bed to be”
