In partnership with a family-owned American mattress maker, our Retreat mattresses are handcrafted, one-at-a-time. As a way of being sustainable, while keeping our commitment to quality, leftover pieces of foam or fabric are collected and sent to a company for re-use as carpet backing. Memory foam mattresses help improve circulation and reduce stress on pressure points. Memory foam mattresses are padded with two inches of denser, 5 lb. memory foam surrounding three inches of cooling, 3 lb. gel memory foam to minimize excess heat. Memory foam mattresses are supported by a five-inch polycore. All Retreat Mattresses pair perfectly with our Retreat 8 Box Spring or Retreat 4 Platform. Mattress pads are recommended.
