Organic Certifications
We understand that your mattress has the responsibility to create a stimulant-free sleep environment so that your body can maintain the deepest, longest possible sleep cycles. To achieve this we make our patented Beyond Latex™ organic foam and mattresses in our certified organic factory, sourcing only the highest quality organic and natural components. Here is a look at the certifications and quality standards that we follow in our organic manufacturing facility.

Clean Air Tested
In 2013 Essentia's mattresses were independently tested by Exova Labs for VOC emissions. Both tests are appropriate for some of the highest Indoor Air Quality Product Certifications for OEM Materials and Bedding. According to Exova's LEED Green Associate, Air Quality and Industrial Hygiene certified engineer "The VOC and formaldehyde levels can be characterized as background levels." This means ambient air or air already found the average home.
ISO Certified
Internationally agreed standard that sets out the requirements for a quality management system specific to the medical devices industry. Safety and quality are non-negotiable in the medical device industry. Regulatory requirements are increasingly stringent throughout every step of a product’s life cycle. Essentia has demonstrated their quality management processes and ensure best practice in everything they do.
Worker Safety Tested
Quebec's local Health and Safety Board conducted tests for a full day of production at Essentia's factory. VOC capturing device's were placed at the nozzle of our organic foam mixing pumps in order to capture the highest possible readings of VOCs and to identify if there were any components found in the standard production of memory foam. They found that Essentia employees are not required to wear any protective gear or masks as there are no safety risks when making Essentia's Beyond Latex™ organic foam.
