Turmerry Natural and Organic Latex Mattress Review
The Turmerry Natural and Organic Latex Mattress combines plush comfort with eco-friendly materials. Constructed with organic latex, cotton, and wool, it offers pressure relief, good airflow, and customizable firmness through adjustable layers. However, it may lack support for stomach sleepers or heavier individuals.
- Made with organic and eco-conscious materials
- Extensive options for different heights and firmness levels
- Sleeps cool with virtually no heat retention
- Bounciness transfers some motion across the mattress surface
- Requires assembly, which can be challenging for larger mattress sizes given the weight of latex
Turmerry is known for making sleep products with natural materials at budget-friendly prices. The Turmerry Natural and Organic Latex Mattress is made with a compelling combination of organic latex, organic cotton, and New Zealand wool.
Turmerry offers this mattress in multiple models, each of which has a different configuration of the latex layers. This gives you the choice of a 7-inch, 10-inch, or 12-inch model, with firmness levels that range from soft to extra firm. The layers can also be rearranged to modify the firmness over time.
We took a closer look at the Turmerry Natural and Organic Latex Mattress and had our testing team break down its construction and performance. We review our findings to help you determine if this mattress is the right option for you.

Is the Turmerry Organic Latex Right for You?
Use the filters below to see how well the Turmerry Organic Latex lines up with your unique needs. We'll also give you a couple other recommendations based on your answers.
TEST LAB RATINGS
How the Turmerry Organic Latex Scored
Motion Isolation6.5/10
A common drawback of latex mattresses is their tendency to cause motion to transfer across the mattress surface. This means that you usually feel some movement when a bed partner gets in and out of bed, tosses and turns, or otherwise moves on their side of the mattress.
Whether this is a significant drawback depends on your situation. If you sleep solo, it’s a non-issue. It’s also probably not a concern if you and your bed partner both sleep soundly. But it can be a problem for anyone who shares a bed and can be woken up easily.
In the case of the Turmerry Mattress, the softest model does the best job of minimizing movement-related disruptions, since its closer conforming allows it to absorb more movement.
Couples will almost certainly notice when their bed partner moves around. A core characteristic of latex is its responsiveness, which means that vibrations from movement are not well contained on this mattress.
Pressure Relief7.5/10
Our team experienced mid-range pressure relief on the Turmerry Mattress.
You’ll find more cushioning on the soft (3) and medium (5) models, but they still don’t provide the kind of contouring pressure relief offered by memory foam.
That said, for some sleepers, the feel of the zoned latex actually provides better support, especially for back and stomach sleepers. This support helps fend off pressure buildup that can occur when weight-bearing areas sink too deeply into the mattress.
Overall, the Turmerry Mattress doesn’t offer standout pressure relief in the traditional sense, but our testing team found that it could provide many sleepers with both comfort and spinal support.
Logan Foley, Executive Product Director: The soft and medium versions of the Turmerry Natural and Organic Mattress have the most ability to cushion the body, but none of these models conform closely to the body. That makes their pressure relief a bit more hit or miss depending on a sleeper’s needs.
Temperature Control8.0/10
The members of our testing team raved about the temperature neutrality of the Turmerry Natural and Organic Latex Mattress. All of the materials, including cotton, wool, and latex, are highly breathable and play a role in cooler sleep.
The soft (3) model can collect a bit of heat because of how it allows the body to sink in, but it still sleeps cooler than most foam mattresses. All of the other firmness models offer excellent temperature neutrality, with the best rating for the extra firm model.
Colin Simpson, Product Research Manager: I loved how cool this mattress was. The materials are extremely effective at preventing heat from building up during the night.
Edge Support7.0/10
The amount of edge support you experience on the Turmerry Mattress depends significantly on the firmness level.
Edge support is excellent on the firmer models, which allow only light compression around the perimeter. The reliable edges make it easier to get in and out of bed, plus they open up more usable space for people who share a smaller mattress.
The medium (5) has about average edge support, while the perimeter can feel much less sturdy on the soft (3) model.
Logan Foley, Executive Product Director: Edge support on the Turmerry Natural and Organic Mattress is really solid, except for the soft model, which can feel a bit unstable because of how much the latex compresses.
Ease of Movement7.5/10
The Turmerry Natural and Organic Latex Mattress facilitates just about any movement on the mattress surface. With multiple layers of springy Dunlop latex, you never feel stuck in the bed.
The one exception is the soft (3) model. It still has roughly average ease of movement, but there’s a little more sinkage that can pose a barrier when you want to adjust your sleeping position.
As you’d expect from a latex bed, there’s almost no barrier to movement. The bounce really enables you to move around on the mattress without difficulty.
Durability9.0/10
As an organic latex mattress made with Dunlop latex, you can expect to enjoy many years of use from your Turmerry bed. The Dunlop method produces a denser latex that holds its shape despite repeated compression and decompression, meaning it’s unlikely to form permanent body indentations. We would estimate the mattress will last at least 10 years. The firmer models and the thicker models will likely stand up even better to the test of time.
HANDS-ON TESTING
Testing Team Takeaways
To test the Turmerry Natural and Organic Latex Mattress, we had three people on our testing team each take the bed home with them for one week. Here are their initial observations.
Brad Nehring
Product Testing Manager · Back sleeper · 215 lbs.
Back sleeper · 215 lbs.
As a back sleeper, I felt best on the firm model of the Turmerry Natural and Organic Latex Mattress. For me, the latex layers strike a nice balance of cushioning for comfort and pushback to hold my spine in a neutral position.
Colin Simpson
Product Research Manager · Stomach sleeper · 190 lbs.
Stomach sleeper · 190 lbs.
Getting proper support from this mattress really relies on picking out the right firmness level. But what I thought was most impressive was the temperature regulation that allowed me to sleep cool.
Logan Foley
Executive Product Director · Side sleeper · 140 lbs.
Side sleeper · 140 lbs.
For side sleeping, I think the soft or medium models do the best job of accommodating the hips and shoulders. The responsiveness of this mattress helps keep you from feeling stuck in place, but it also means there’s quite a bit of motion transfer.

Sizes, dimensions and weights
Side Sleepers
After testing all four firmness options on the 10-inch Turmerry Mattress, we found that the medium (5) firmness level is best for most side sleepers. This firmness allows for effective cushioning of the hips and shoulders, but it has enough pushback to keep the body from sagging into the bed.
Some of our side sleeper testers under 130 pounds preferred the soft (3) model, but most people found it to be too plush. Side sleepers over 230 pounds tend to get better support from the firm (7) model, which does a better job of resisting sinkage. These sleepers can also benefit from the 10-inch or 12-inch models, which have a thicker comfort section to distribute body weight.
Back Sleepers
Back sleepers on our testing team were complimentary of the Turmerry Natural and Organic Latex Mattress. The most popular firmness level was firm (7), which worked best for most back sleepers. Its blend of bounce, cushioning, and pushback was able to promote spinal alignment without aggravating the lumbar area.
Some back sleepers over 130 pounds preferred the added firmness of the extra firm (8) model to prevent excess sinkage. The medium (5) model was only given high ratings by some of the back sleepers in our testing who weigh less than 130 pounds.
Stomach Sleepers
Stomach sleepers need a sleep surface that stays flat under their body, keeping the abdomen from sinking out of line. In our testing, the firm (7) and extra firm (8) versions of the Turmerry Natural and Organic Latex Mattress proved to be the best for stomach sleepers of all weight groups.
The choice between these two firmer models was largely an issue of personal preference. That said, stomach sleepers under 130 pounds leaned toward the firm (7), and those over 230 pounds gravitated toward the extra firm (8).

Availability
The Turmerry Natural and Organic Latex Mattress is sold in all 50 states and U.S. territories. It is available through the Turmerry website and in the company’s brick-and-mortar showroom in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Shipping
Turmerry offers free shipping within the contiguous U.S., and most orders arrive within seven business days. Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. territories comes at an extra cost and may take longer.
Each mattress ships in four separate boxes that contain the different components. The latex layers arrive tightly wrapped in two layers of plastic.
Assembly may require two people and takes 10 to 15 minutes. It involves laying the cover over the bed frame, stacking the layers, and zipping up the cover.
Additional Services
Turmerry doesn’t offer additional services such as White Glove delivery or old mattress removal.
Sleep Trial
Each Turmerry Natural and Organic Latex Mattress comes with a 120-night sleep trial that allows you to make sure that it is right for you. You are required to keep the mattress for 30 days so that your body can adjust to the mattress. After that, the mattress is eligible for a return.
If you want to return the mattress, you have to contact Turmerry and follow steps to donate the mattress. After receiving proof of donation, the company will either give you a full refund or issue 110% of the purchase price in store credit, at your option.
As an alternative to a refund, Turmerry can also help you adjust the feel of the mattress by swapping out a single layer of latex at no charge. If that doesn’t address your concerns, you can still return the entire mattress.
Warranty
The Turmerry Natural and Organic Latex Mattress comes with a 20-year limited warranty. If the mattress has any defects in its materials or manufacturing, Turmerry will repair or replace it.
The warranty covers issues like cracks or permanent indentations of at least 1 inch in the latex. However, it does not cover damage from abuse, misuse, or failure to use a sufficiently supportive foundation. It also does not cover ordinary wear and tear.
