Is the Twist mattress completely natural?

As part of our promise at the little Green Sheep, we make the utmost effort to ensure all of our products contain as many natural ingredients as possible. The Twist mattress features three layers for optimum firmness; breathable wool, coconut coir and latex. The latex layer is composed of natural latex (60%), derived from the hevea tree and synthetic latex (40%), which is infused with natural mineral graphite to provide flame retardant properties - it's this graphite that gives the layer it's grey tone. All home products for sale in the United Kingdom must meet strict requirements for fire safety, and so the necessary inclusion of these added ingredients is a preventative measure that provides a safe sleep environment for your child. All Twist mattresses feature a natural soft cotton cover.

What is graphite?

A naturally occurring form of crystalline carbon, graphite is a native element that has applications across multiple industries.

Why do we use graphite in our mattresses?

Natural latex (derived from the Hevea tree) is blended with the naturally occurring mineral graphite to provide a comfy, progressive support that makes for a natural alternative to foam. When exposed to heat, the graphite in our mattresses expands and forms an intumescent layer to protect the material surface. This helps slow down the spread of fire, and counteracts the formation of toxic gases and smoke.
