Snowdon

Name: Snowdon
Brand: AbacaMattresses
Price: 1095.0 GBP
Availability: InStock

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.

Hand Framed Pocket Sprung unit
Heavy durable insulating wool layer
Soft layers of organic wool
Organic herringbone cotton
Felt tufts to hold layers in place

* Photo shows the mattress split as 2. All Snowdon mattresses can either be split or come as a whole mattress.

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.

Firmness	Notes	Sleep Position	Weight
Very Soft	Rare and hard to find in any quality mattress	Side Sleepers	Less than 8 stone/50 kilos
Soft	Soft enough for hip and shoulder to be supported	Side Sleepers	Up to 12 stone/76 kilos
Medium	What most people are comfortable on	Side, Back and Stomach Sleepers	Up to 16 stone/105 kilos.
Firm	Very little sink or give	Side, Back and Stomach Sleepers	Up to 20 stone/130 kilos
Extra Firm	Like sleeping on the floor!	Stomach Sleepers	Above 20 stone/130 kilos

Very pleased

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.

Organic mattress

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!

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.
