What's Different About Savvy Rest?

We understand that purchasing a mattress can be an overwhelming experience. There are so many companies to consider, even when you rule out all the ones that use chemical flame retardants and memory foam. The organic mattress industry is growing as more and more people realize just how important a natural mattress is to their overall health. We spend a third of our lives sleeping, so it’s imperative that our mattresses are free of toxins and synthetic materials.

Savvy Rest offers GOTS-certified organic mattresses made with organic cotton, organic wool batting and natural latex. The wool acts as a natural flame barrier that allows our finished products to pass federal fire regulations. This is how we avoid using chemicals that can cause serious health issues such as obesity, infertility, and cancer. We also never use pesticides, bleaches or harmful dyes. Instead, we focus on durable, comfortable and natural materials that will help you sleep soundly night after night for years to come.

Our Unity Pillowtop, Serenity, and Tranquility mattresses are customizable, a unique feature our customers love. We offer Soft, Medium, and Firm layers of both Dunlop and Talalay latex. We recognize that everyone defines comfort differently. By giving customers the option of choosing their own combination of latex layers, we are able to offer a mattress that will cater to their specific needs. We even give couples the option of having a split configuration. Each person can choose the layers that suit their individual needs without having to sleep in a separate bed. We believe no one should have to compromise their comfort.

We didn’t stop at mattresses, though. Make sure to check out our organic bedding and furniture, from our customizable pillows to our organic sofas. We want our customers to fill their homes with cozy and luxurious items that are made with the importance of good health in mind.

Here are a few more reasons why you should choose Savvy Rest.

Purest Natural Latex

We use only the purest natural latex from trusted suppliers that have been independently tested and certified.
 

Vita Talalay by Radium Foam

Our natural Talalay supplier has developed the highest-quality natural Talalay latex foam available worldwide. Radium is committed to environmentally and socially responsible Cradle to Cradle™ manufacturing. In fact, the Talalay we use is Cradle to Cradle Gold certified, the highest certification level achieved in the industry thus far. This rigorous certification allows our mattresses featuring Talalay latex to be certified organic to the GOTS standard—no other manufacturer in the world can say this.

Dunlop by Cocolatex

Our Dunlop latex comes from Cocolatex, a company that has also gone extra miles for purity in materials and more sustainable manufacturing. Their rubber tree growing is certified organic as is their latex processing, and they’re committed to fair trade practices.

Got GOTS?

It is our passion for organic and natural products that has motivated us to achieve all that we have. Our GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certifications required a serious commitment to the importance of pure materials and responsible manufacturing practices.

Our warehouse, woodshop, and sewing facilities are all GOTS-certified. We have thought about every step in the manufacturing process, from the harvesting of materials to packaging the finished product. There are plenty of companies that offer products with GOTS-certified materials, but that doesn’t mean their facilities are certified or that the overall finished product meets GOTS standards. In fact, no other manufacturer in the world can claim that mattresses made with both Dunlop and Talalay latex are completely certified organic.

GREENGUARD Gold Certification

Savvy Rest has achieved GREENGUARD GOLD Certification for mattresses, pillows, and mattress toppers. GREENGUARD Certified products are certified to GREENGUARD standards for low chemical emissions into indoor air. GREENGUARD GOLD certified products comply with stringent emission levels for over 360 VOCs (volatile organic compounds), a limit on the total of all emissions combined, plus additional requirements for sensitive populations such as children and the elderly.
 

Our Dealer Network

When looking at our competitors, you’ll notice that Savvy Rest has the largest dealer network. Too many mattress companies only offer their products online. Why? Well, there are several reasons. There are unfortunately companies that focus all their energy on venture capitalism and online marketing instead of cultivating relationships with other businesses. They completely disregard the importance of having customers try out products in person and simply push their product through flashy online advertisements. These companies usually have a high return rate on their products since customers don’t exactly know what they’re getting in the mail! Scary, right?

We don’t believe in hiding behind a computer. Instead, we have built relationships with mattress dealers across the country who carry our products so customers can go try out our mattresses and pick the perfect configuration for their needs. We want people to feel the difference between organic materials and the synthetic, chemically-treated materials that a lot of online, mattress-in-a-box companies use. These mattresses are not designed to last, but are instead motivated by financial gains rather than the health and satisfaction of their customers.

It’s important to look for a mattress that has been completely GOTS-certified. Some companies offer mattresses that only have one or two organic components. While this is definitely a step in the right direction, these companies have not taken the extra steps that we have.

Variety of Organic Products

As mentioned before, we offer a variety of organic products that really set us apart from other mattress companies. Our products are manufactured in the United States and are never made with particle board, toxic glues, and other synthetic materials. Instead, we insist on healthier options, like organic cotton, organic wool, zero-VOC stains and natural latex, just to name a few.

Although we definitely recommend sleeping on a Savvy Rest mattress, there are lots of other Savvy Rest products for you to try, such as:

• Organic Pillows & Body Pillows
• Organic Sheets
• Organic Toppers
• Organic Sofas
• Natural, Zero-VOC Platform Beds
• Natural Platform Bed Inserts

We could keep going, but we think you get the idea!
 

Worth Every Penny

We realize that our products are on the higher end of a lot of people’s price range, but we truly believe in the phrase “you get what you pay for.” Our products are made with natural materials that are comfortable, safe and meant to last. Our Serenity and Tranquility mattresses have a 20-year warranty. So many traditional mattresses have dips and sags within a few years because they are made with lower end materials that lack durability.

Let’s also talk about our platform beds, which are made in Virginia by our own Savvy Rest woodworkers. The Esmont and Afton are made with natural maple and poplar wood. We offer a variety of zero-VOC stains that look gorgeous without sacrificing your health. We’ve chosen the natural route, not only for our wonderful customers, but for our employees who work with these materials every day. Not every furniture company offers this type of quality and consideration.

Our Values

Knowing our values and reminding ourselves of why they’re so important is what keeps us motivated and passionate about what we do. Our employees have a shared purpose and work together as a team to better the lives of our customers and each other through products we’re truly proud to offer.

We value...

Empathy: We value presence, practice openness and respect vulnerability.
Health: We place well-being above profits. We contribute to better sleep, better health and relief from pain and fear.
Empowerment: We offer accurate information to support conscious choices. What we don’t know, we admit, and what we find out, we share. Education and transparency are key.
Sustainability: The Earth is our home and supplies us with the natural materials we use. We say thank you by being as environmentally conscious as possible.
 

B Corp

Savvy Rest is a certified Benefit Corporation, meaning we value the importance of the community, our employees, and the environment. We think beyond profit because we believe the best businesses strive to positively impact the planet and those who inhabit it.

We are proud to partner with American Forests, the nation’s oldest nonprofit conservation organization. American Forests is passionate about protecting our forests, and Savvy Rest customers help through the Global ReLeaf program. For every Savvy Rest purchase you make, we’ll donate 5 trees which will be planted in struggling forests around the world. We love our planet and want to give back, one tree at a time.

The Safe Sleep Pillow program is another cause we care deeply about. Our retail division, Savvy Rest Natural Bedroom, reaches out to local domestic violence organizations and donates pillows to the brave women and children who have escaped incredibly difficult situations. Each guest of the shelter receives a pillow that they can take with them when they move on. We can’t make everything better, but we hope our pillows can bring a sense of comfort and sweet dreams to those who are struggling.

Employee Ownership

We are one of just a few businesses that is both a B Corp AND an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Savvy Rest has chosen employee ownership because we believe every voice matters. It’s important to us that all of our hardworking employees benefit from the company’s success. Every call we answer, every order we prepare and every box we ship, we do with the pride of ownership.

Testimonials

Well, MD
“I first went into Savvy Rest on Sept. 30, 2015 to test out their beds. I asked the salesman for advice as to what might suit my needs best given my preferences. He advised me on one, which I tried, as well as other bed combos. The first option really was the best. However, before buying I wanted to check out one other organic bed store. After doing so, I determined that Savvy Rest beds were far more superior. I bought my bed about three weeks later in Oct. after making a second trip to try the beds. During each visit the salesperson was helpful, very low key, let me have my space to test everything and was super nice. After only a couple nights on my Savvy Rest bed I was already sleeping better and felt the bed was much more supportive than my previous memory foam bed. I did not realize what an improvement a Savvy Rest bed would make in my life. The bed is like magic and worth every penny. I highly recommend the product as well as the company.”

Donna, VA
“I wish we would have known about organic latex mattresses sooner. I have never slept so well and totally satisfied so far with my Savvy Rest mattress, bed frame, and accessories. We had a bad experience with a [generic] mattress that ended up molding from the inside and started to cause serious health issues due to off-gassing of petroleum/plastic products from which it was made from. The importance of a quality and organic mattress cannot be stressed enough to maintain better health.”

Kelly B., MI
“We have THREE Savvy Rest mattresses and we LOVE them!!! They have improved our sleep quality and our health! I recommend Savvy Rest to everyone!”

Bauer, VA
“The whole experience was awesome. I had done some research online and your staff substantiated much of what I learned which was very reassuring. There was no pressure, just information and then total customer service in buying, delivery and follow-up customer service needs. I'm very impressed with Savvy Rest. The bed was expensive but so worth the price. I've had back aches for 4 years every morning and from the first night on my Savvy Rest bed there have been no ("0") back aches. Thank you for what you did for me.”

Darlene, owner of The Natural Sleep Shop, a Savvy Rest dealership
“After purchasing a memory foam mattress, I began experiencing many adverse health effects from sleeping on that mattress. Those issues led me to my search for a latex mattress that was made only with safe, organic materials that would not harm me. I found a Savvy Rest dealer about a hundred miles away from me and purchased my bed there. It was well worth the drive! I loved my bed so much and felt so passionate about getting harmful materials out of our bedrooms that I then became a Savvy Rest dealer myself. For over four years now we have heard many stories similar to mine and have helped people get better sleep with our organic mattresses, pillows & bedding. Thanks, Savvy Rest, for caring about our health and our environment!”

Diane Gercke, owner of Eagles’ Rest Natural Home, a Savvy Rest dealership
“My experience with Savvy Rest has been wonderful! They are a company that oozes integrity. I have seen them practically do back flips making sure that customers are satisfied. They have been there for me, and they will be there for you—that is something you want in a company you are relying on to follow up on a 20-year warranty.

Also, I hardly get the opportunity to say this but, speaking of integrity, Savvy Rest is an employee-owned Benefit Corporation. The founder, Michael Penny, did not have to share in the ownership of his company. This decision shows how much he values his employees.

Your Savvy Rest mattress is created, inspected and supported by owners of the company who are proud of the products they sell. When you buy from online-only companies, you are supporting a company that pays their employees less than a living wage with no benefits. It is also likely that the company won't be around for too long. You may have to digest this a bit, but what I'm talking about is the true cost of doing business, something I think about a lot, and I know that our customers do too.

Essentially, who do you want to get in bed with?”

Chris Manley, owner of Resthouse, a Savvy Rest dealership

"We began working with the Savvy Rest team three years ago and could not be happier. It first started when we recognized that they had thoughtfully solved many of the inherent problems in the mattress industry (lack of customization, adaptability over time, poor quality materials), and it soon developed into a warm and supportive relationship. Their dedication and hard work has helped us grow and thrive as a natural bedding store. Thank you, Savvy Rest! We love you."

Jason Cameron, TV Host and Licensed Contractor
"As someone who spends all day on my feet working construction, a good night sleep is essential. Since I started sleeping on a Savvy Rest mattress, getting a good night’s sleep is no longer an issue. I not only sleep better, I have more energy and focus during the day. I am also a fan of the fact that Savvy Rest mattresses are organic and contain no chemicals or produce any harmful off-gassing which can happen with other mattresses.”

Amanda Jo of The Organic Bunny
“Coming from a [popular memory foam mattress], I really did not think a Talalay latex bed could compare in comfort. However, my Savvy Rest bed totally proved that it could be just as comfy and it has helped me sleep much more soundly! I no longer suffer from allergic reactions while sleeping, something I think my old mattress was to blame for. I also sleep the entire night without waking up which is a major success!”

Natalie Kay Smith of Sustainably Chic
"If natural clothing or food is a priority in my life, then natural bedding and furniture should be too. It isn’t often you find a business, particularly in bedding, who takes our health and environment into consideration. This is why I love Savvy Rest. Not only are you getting a beautiful product {like the Esmont Platform Bed}, you are owning a piece of furniture that won’t compromise your health and is built to last."
