Product Description

•••••

Availability: In-Store Only (On Display & Popular Sizes Regularly Stocked in Calgary, Edmonton and Sherwood Park)

Crafted from the same Plein-Air French sheep's wool, organic cotton and natural Talalay latex found in all Berkeley Ergonomics mattresses. Filled with 500 grams of wool per square metre, the organic pillow top will breathe and regulate temperature and humidity exceptionally well.

Many consumers have had negative experiences with expensive pillow top mattresses that sag well before expected. Those mattresses use poor quality polyurethane foam, effectively degrading the durability of the mattress. Our pillow top features durable 100% natural Talalay latex cushioning that wears well over time and independently from your mattress.

Our pillow tops are independent of the mattress. This allows the topper to be added to your mattress after purchase should you want additional softness and pressure relief. It can be removed if you want to change the feel and since the Talalay latex cushioning wears independently of your mattress, it can be replaced separately at any time.

Why and when to add a topper

A high quality topper is the perfect addition to an existing mattress which is in good condition and still provides adequate support. Toppers are designed to enhance comfort and pressure relief.

Toppers are also commonly added to a brand new mattress. A luxury mattress topper crafted from natural materials can improve even the very best mattresses. Adding a topper to a new mattress will also extend the life of the mattress, as the topper will take a good portion of the wear and tear.

It is important to remember that a topper will not improve the support of a worn out mattress, nor will they eliminate sagging issues. In fact, placing a topper on a sagging mattress is not something we recommend - you'll just make the sagging that much more noticeable. If you find yourself in this situation it is best to consider a new mattress.

Suggested Foundations

We recommend a sturdy, well-ventilated slat foundation for all mattresses. Berkeley Ergonomics offer three choices. The highest performing foundation is the Berkeley Ergonomics suspension foundation.

Suspension foundations are superior to rigid bases as they absorb energy, reducing pressure points while also providing for greatly improved ergonomic alignment and support. They'll even extend the life of your mattress.

Berkeley also offer a 2 ⅜" slat frame which will fit in most platform beds, allowing you to benefit from the suspension slats and their enhanced ergonomics when a platform bed would not normally fit a box spring.

All Berkeley Ergonomics mattresses are 100% compatible with electric adjustable beds.

All wood used in these three foundations comes from sustainable PEFC and FSC certified sources in Canada and Germany.


We Recommend Formesse Fitted Sheets

The highest performing fitted sheet for your Berkeley Ergonomics mattress is a Formesse Bella Donna fitted sheet. Your BE mattress features a knit organic cotton fabric outer covering, which is very stretchy and elastic. Typical sheets are woven (ie: sateen or percale), which can result in excess surface tension. Formesse sheets, Made in Germany, are different. They are stretch-knit, just like the Berkeley mattress fabric. This combination results in the most elastic, highest performing sleep surface possible today.

Knit fabrics are also more breathable than woven fabrics, which results in better temperature and humidity regulation.


Game Changer - Review of Berkeley Ergonomics Natural Latex Pillow Top
4 out of 5 stars

Verified Buyer
Purchased the 1 inch latex topper and wool cover after purchasing a new tempuredic bed. The bed slept hot and I was having shoulder pain. The topper definitely sleeps cooler and feels comfortable and very plush. The shoulder pain has gone away along with some mild hip pain I was having. Sleeping much better and much cooler. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for relief.

Very comfortable so far - Review of Berkeley Ergonomics Natural Latex Pillow Top
4 out of 5 stars
03/21/2019
Verified Buyer
This rating in respect of a queen sizedBerkeley Ergonomics Mattress Topper with 2” latex foam, is four stars because we have had it only a month and do not know how well it may perform over time. We purchased this product to give more cushioning to a new, firm tight-top mattress. After six weeks, the surface seems to be dipped where the sleepers lie - 145 and 180 lbs each - but is still very comfortable giving a completely different feel to the tufted top of the mattress while the mattress still provides firm support. The topper does breathe well and offer good temperature control. If the topper proves durable and the dipping does not become too pronounced over a short space of time, we would rate this product five stars.
Thank you for your review! The "dips" might be the wool in the topper compacting, which is definitely expected. Feel free to send us a photo and we can confirm! You may also remove the latex from the cover and place directly on the floor to confirm it is still perfectly level.
