For those who love the idea of sleeping on wool but like the support of a pocket spring, this organic mattress is perfect. Layers of needled wool of differing densities give the Snowdon its unique character, and the wool gives a deep luxurious finish.
We have combined layers of wool of different weights and densities in a unique way to make this wonderfully comfortable organic mattress. It is hand tufted and has an organic cotton cover. We have upgraded the Snowdon mattress so that it now contains a massive 2,000 gms of wool per square metre.
Research has shown that wool is the natural choice for sleeping on or under to give you a great night’s sleep. Those who have allergies will find this organic mattress easy to get along with because it is made purely of wool with an unbleached untreated organic cotton cover.
The Snowdon is made using a hand framed pocket sprung unit, is approximately 20 cms deep and guaranteed for 10 years. Certified to the Global Organic Textile Standard by the Soil Association and hand made in Wales.
The Snowdon is approximately 20cms deep and is available as a soft, medium, or firm in whatever size you require. Guaranteed for 10 years.
* Photo shows the mattress split as 2. All Snowdon mattresses can either be split or come as a whole mattress.

There is a preconception that you have to buy a mattress in-store. Click here to read about why this is not always the best way.
No two people sleep in exactly the same way. Some of us sleep on our backs, others on their sides, and some on their tummies. There is lots of research that claims that sleeping on your side is best, because it takes the strain off the back and hips, and women tend to favour this position. It’s really important for side sleepers not to choose a mattress that’s too firm, as there needs to be plenty of give to support the curve of shoulder and hip.
Approximately ten to fifteen percent of the population sleep in their backs, and it can be problematic because it encourages snoring and sleep apnoea. However if that is your favoured position then a firmer mattress will help support your lower back.
If you sleep on your stomach you need to make sure that your mattress is always in tip top condition. If the mattress is too soft then your spine is thrown out of alignment and there isn’t enough support for your neck which can cause back pain.
Clearly the most important thing that affects quality of sleep is comfort, so ensuring that your mattress supports you properly is crucial. Weight plays a part when you’re making the decision about which type of mattress to buy, and the chart below is a guideline that will help you make a decision. At the heavier end of the scale it’s important to realise that a Firm mattress may need a topper so that there is both support and cushioning.

If you come and visit us we’ll do everything we can to ensure that you have enough time and space to choose the right mattress for you. But before you plan your visit here are some useful points to have a think about.
Showrooms can be intimidating places, especially on the high street. Lying down in front of strangers isn’t very comfortable for some people and the tendency is to make a hurried decision to get the whole thing over with. Sitting on the edge of a mattress isn’t going to give you any idea of what it’s going to feel like when you go to bed at night, and the tendency is to choose a mattress that’s too firm.

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.

Thank you for submitting a review!
Your input is very much appreciated. Share it with your friends so they can enjoy it too!
My new Snowden mattress was delivered as arranged on 16/06/21. The delivery driver was friendly and helpful; he unpacked the mattress for me and placed it on my bed. I am very pleased with my mattress; it is very well made and comfy to sleep on. My old Abaca Snowden mattress served me well for 14 years so hopefully this one will last for many years too and I have the reassurance of the 10 year guarantee. It's always a pleasure doing business with you and so nice to support a Welsh company with sustainability and care for the planet at it's heart. Many thanks and wishing you all the best for continued success for many more years to come.
Thank you so much Wendy, it's good to know that your old mattress gave you such good service!
This is such a lovely mattress, as expected. I was looking for a truly organic mattress for my daughter and was glad to discover Abaca. Rhiannon has been extremely helpful despite my many many questions! One can clearly see her passion for the product and her knowledge. The mattress is very well made and it looks beautiful in its natural cotton colour. The little reviewer confirmed that it is very comfortable. Now we want one for us of course!
Thank you so much Stavroula, we're very glad your daughter is happy with her new mattress.
Soooo Comfortable. Such a good night's sleep that I didn't want to get out of bed in the morning! Probably the best mattress I have ever slept on. My husband does not normally sleep well on a new matttress but he slept well last night! Fantastic to know it is organic and petro- chemical free, so no nasty smellsThank you for arranging everything Rhiannon.
Great to hear that your mattress has fulfilled your expectations Catriona, thank you so much for taking the time to give us this lovely feedback
We're so happy with our mattress were now thinking we will buy it again for our sons room. Its the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on and to know it's chemical free is really reassuring.
Thank you so much Lucy, we're delighted that you're so happy with your mattress
Just wanted to thank you all for my wonderful Snowdon mattress and latex mattress pad, they are perfect, and to thank Rhiannon who took time to help me choose which mattress and pad would suit me and was so lovely to chat to and also the delivery man, I didn’t get his name, but he was cheerful and very helpful, all in all a brilliant purchase and experience all round. Thank you all so much.
Four great reasons to buy organic
Why you should consider going organic when you sleep
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
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
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
As a certified 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.
Buying a new organic mattress ought to be a pleasurable experience! We want you to be a satisfied and contented customer, so we make a number of pledges.
Answer 5 simple questions about yourself and we will recommend the best natural Abaca mattress for your needs.
Many people believe you have to buy a mattress in-store. However most consumers purchase organic mattresses that are too firm for their needs for many reasons.
