We felt that it wasn’t enough to simply search the web for Sweet Zzz Natures Novel eco-friendly mattress reviews. We decided we would try one of the best mattress options available, the chemical-free organic mattress for ourselves. The first thing we noticed about the non-toxic mattress was the lack of that chemical odor you’ll usually find in retail mattresses. There was a bit of a scent, as the natural latex mattress had been packed in a box for shipment, but it wasn’t unpleasant and certainly wasn’t overwhelming. Compared to other green natural mattresses, most of us agreed: the Natures Novel queen mattress was more firm than we expected from an organic latex mattress. We didn’t get the feeling we were “sinking,” rather that we were supported, even as we experimented with tossing and turning.
