Description

The Chester: made with layers of organic wool and latex with an organic cotton cover.

Salt and pepper, gin and tonic, shoes and socks, some things just belong together don’t they!  We have married up wool and latex in the Chester mattress as two entirely natural materials that complement each other extremely well. Even though one is a fibre and the other is rubber tree sap, they fit together perfectly, just like the black and white mediaeval houses that line Chester’s streets.

Latex is recommended by physiotherapists and osteopaths as a material that absorbs impact. As a layer in a pocket sprung mattress it adds unparalleled support. The wool adds warmth, breathability, and comfort.

Perfect if you have a partner who is a very different weight. The layer of latex that we add to the layers of wool means that weight is absorbed, and the sleeper has far less impact on the spring than usual. That means your mattress will last longer.

How long will it take before my order is ready?

We only work to order and our usual lead times are 4-6 weeks for a mattress, 6-8 weeks for a bed and mattress.

What happens if I need to return my mattress?

We will do all we can to ensure that the mattress you receive is the one that you’ll be most comfortable on. If it turns out that this isn’t the case and you need something that is firmer or softer we will exchange, free of charge, if you let us know within the first fourteen days that you have an issue with the mattress.

4. Your mattress guarantee

In line with our green credentials, we make mattresses from sustainable materials. These materials are all organic and natural, and we expect our mattresses to last a long time. Our guarantee covers you against faulty workmanship or materials and we hope that you will look after the mattress by turning it regularly, hoovering it occasionally and stripping the bed every now and again to let the mattress breathe.

No guarantee can cover the way that a mattress is used, so please be careful if you need to move your mattress from one room to another and when you’re turning it. A pocket sprung mattress must not be folded or allowed to flop under its own weight. 

The Chester mattress has a 12 year guarantee.

5. Re-cover, re-furbish, re-cycle

Far too many mattresses end up in landfill, approximately 100,000 a week just in the UK! Our mission is to do everything we can to make sure that none of our mattresses have to be thrown away.  So what can we do?

1. We can re-cover. All our mattresses can be re-covered if you had an unfortunate spill on the cover. We can also replace the top layers of wool if necessary.
2. We can re-furbish. Both of our fibre mattresses can be completely re-made. The fibre is re-opened, fresh added if necessary, and the cover replaced.
3. We can re-cycle. When you buy a new Abaca mattress, we take your old Abaca mattress away to be broken down and re-cycled.

All Abaca mattresses are built to last, but there comes a time when even the best mattress struggles to give you the support you need. If you need a new Abaca mattress, we will give you a 10% discount as a loyal customer.

Each of the options above will be individually priced depending on the size of the mattress and where you are in the UK, please contact us for details.

Chester inspiration

Chester: A walled town just outside the Welsh border. Known as Caer in Wales, Chester was founded as a fort by the Romans in AD 79 and became part of the kingdom of Powys when the Romans abandoned it several centuries later.  

Four great reasons to buy organic

Why you should consider going organic when you sleep:

  • Organic mattresses are chemical free

    Organic mattresses are chemical free

    Conventional mattresses use a wide variety of chemicals during the manufacturing process and adhesives are often used to glue the layers of a mattress together. Not what you want to be sharing a bed with! Organic materials are produced without the use of harmful pesticides, herbicides and insecticides, and all the materials we use in our mattresses are either recyclable or biodegradable.

  • Organic mattresses are a healthy option

    Organic mattresses are a healthy option

    In many cases, allergies and problems with the respiratory tract are aggravated by elements found in conventionally made mattresses, especially memory foam. We are at our most vulnerable in bed and don’t spend as long anywhere else from day to day. Investing in a mattress that doesn’t introduce any of these foreign elements into our sleeping environment is a healthy option! People who buy an Abaca mattress often call us to say that symptoms like runny noses, sneezing, coughing, and skin irritations are either significantly reduced or eliminated within just a few weeks of sleeping on the mattress.

  • Organic mattresses help regulate your temperature

    Organic mattresses help regulate your temperature

    Man made materials make for very poor temperature regulation. Memory foam, for example, often becomes very hot at night, whereas  the organic  cotton and wool  in every Abaca mattress wick moisture away from the body and help your body achieve restful sleep.

  • Organic mattresses are sustainable

    Organic mattresses are sustainable

    As an organic company we are very conscious of our carbon footprint. Every year 7.5 million mattresses go into landfill in the UK alone, so producing mattresses using materials that can be recycled is really important.
