Why we picked it
A latex hybrid: Talalay latex and organic wool over steel coils, with the wool serving as the fire barrier the way it did before chemistry took over. There's no polyurethane foam in the build. The cover blend includes a small amount of polyester and the coils are steel, so call it very-low-plastic. GreenGuard Gold certified, made in the US, hundred-night trial.
