Is the My Green Mattress Natural Escape Right for You?

TEST LAB RATINGS
How the My Green Mattress Natural Escape Scored
Motion Isolation6.0/10
The Natural Escape mattress provides below-average motion isolation. In our testing, the bounciness of the latex layer caused some vibrations to travel across the surface. For most couples, this level of motion transfer shouldn’t be too disruptive. But if you or your bed partner are easily awakened or move around a lot in bed, you may benefit from a mattress that provides better motion isolation.
Colin Simpson, Product Research Manager: With a mattress that’s this springy, some motion transfer is inevitable. I wasn’t bothered much by it, but it’s noticeable.
Pressure Relief7.0/10
Based on our testing, the Natural Escape ranks about average for pressure relief. Latex offers modest contouring, and the zoned pocketed coils give some tailored support to key areas of the body. That said, this mattress does not deeply hug or conform to the body. As a result, the perception of comfort and pressure relief from this mattress varies considerably based on sleeping position and body weight.
Mary Fenton, Head of Product Content: The Natural Escape doesn’t have a cloud-like feel, but I still found it to be effective at minimizing impact and pressure around my joints.
Temperature Control8.5/10
Temperature control is a major strength of the Natural Escape Mattress. All of the materials used in the mattress either promote breathability or are naturally resistant to heat buildup.
The cotton and wool in the cover are naturally moisture-wicking, which means they pull sweat away from the body and help your body stay cool. Latex doesn’t collect much heat, and the tall layer of coils enables significant airflow to keep warmth from building up in the mattress overnight.
Brad Nehring, Product Testing Manager: This is one of the cooler mattresses I’ve slept on. It seems like every aspect of the mattress construction contributes to reduced heat buildup.
Edge Support7.0/10
Above-average edge support helps make the Natural Escape a good fit for people who often sleep or sit near the edge of their bed. The bed’s dependable edge support starts in the innerspring layer, where thicker coils line the perimeter. Dunlop latex doesn’t compress as deeply as materials like memory foam, which also helps maintain stability around the edge.
Colin Simpson, Product Research Manager: With the Natural Escape Mattress, I felt very confident that I could sit on the edge of the bed without it giving out underneath me.
Ease of Movement8.0/10
Ease of movement is a standout feature of this mattress. Latex is widely known to have a springy feel, and the way the coils compress and rebound enhances the ease of movement. Plus, the soft, inviting feel of the wool and cotton reduces friction when changing sleeping positions. All of these elements make the Natural Escape a great pick for active and combination sleepers.
Brad Nehring, Product Testing Manager: When I wanted to roll over or adjust my sleep posture, it felt like the mattress was working with me rather than fighting against my movement.
Durability8.0/10
The Natural Escape mattress is a latex hybrid that offers strong durability. The main reason is the 3-inch layer of Dunlop latex, which is the densest and most supportive type of material. It also has pocketed coils, with high-gauge coils around the bed’s perimeter, which helps it stand up well over time. It loses some durability points because it’s only 11 inches tall and closer to a medium feel than firm.
HANDS-ON TESTING
Testing Team Takeaways
To test the My Green Mattress Natural Escape Organic Mattress, we had three people on our testing team take the bed home with them for one week. Here are their initial observations.

One thing I really appreciated about this mattress was that it cushioned my hips and shoulders without feeling overly soft.

I think Brad is right on with his comment about balanced supportiveness and pressure relief. I also liked how cool this mattress stayed through the night.

The springy feel of the Natural Escape Mattress made it easy for me to change my sleep position through the night. And the eco-friendly materials are a nice bonus.
Who it Fits
Fit by Sleep Position and Body Weight
Sizes, dimensions and weights
Side Sleepers
Our testing found that the Natural Escape works well for most side sleepers, but it’s best suited to those between 130 and 230 pounds. Some side sleepers over 230 pounds may find it a bit too soft, and some under 130 pounds will find it a touch too firm.
When side sleeping, it’s important to have enough cushioning to accommodate the hips and shoulders. But too much plushness can result in sagging, putting excessive bend in the spine. Based on our tests, the Natural Escape hits the supportive sweet spot for side sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds.
Back Sleepers
The Natural Escape strikes a great balance for most back sleepers with just enough pressure relief and firmness to support spinal alignment. We found that the light contouring of the latex cushions the lower back of back sleepers, while the resilient latex and robust coils kept the mattress surface even so the spine remained in a neutral position.
Some back sleepers under 130 pounds said they would prefer a mattress with just a tad more cushioning, while some over 230 pounds said firmer feel would be ideal. But both groups said that the Natural Escape offered quality support.
Stomach Sleepers
Stomach sleeping is the least common position, and without the right type of mattress, it can be uncomfortable. We found that the Natural Escape offers good support to stomach sleepers under 130 pounds. Those between 130 and 230 pounds said the support was adequate, but those over 230 pounds felt the mattress was too soft.

Availability
Each Natural Escape mattress is made-to-order in the company’s factory and ships throughout the U.S. and Canada. It’s sold on the company’s website and can be viewed in person at the My Green Mattress showroom in La Grange, Illinois.
Shipping
Free shipping is included for all customers in the contiguous United States. The company will ship to Hawaii, Alaska, and Canada for an extra fee. You can expect the mattress to be delivered within two weeks and arrive in a box left at your doorstep. Inside the box, the mattress is compressed and sealed in plastic.
To set up the mattress, you need to carefully cut away the packaging, which allows the mattress to recover its full shape. Given the weight of the mattress, we suggest having two people move the box and position the mattress in your bedroom.
Additional Services
My Green Mattress doesn’t offer White Glove delivery or mattress removal services.
Sleep Trial
With the Natural Escape Mattress, you get a 365-night sleep trial, though there’s a 30-night break-in period before you can request a return. The company requires you to use a mattress protector during the trial period if you want to get a full refund.
Warranty
The Natural Escape Mattress has a 20-year limited warranty. For the first 10 years, My Green Mattress will repair or replace any mattress found to be defective without any charge to you. After that, there’s a prorated charge plus shipping costs for warranty service.
