MattressesAre NOT Complex
Every mattress is basically comprised of two simple layers:
- A Softer Pressure-Relieving COMFORT Layer
- A Firmer SUPPORT Layer
Stack ’em up & wrap ’em up in a zippered cover. That’s it!
An exceptional mattress can, quite literally, be as elegantly simple as that.
A typical COMFORT LAYER is usually between 3” and 6” thick. DIYers often go for memory foam or latex foam as their comfort layer. Some people use both.
A typical SUPPORT LAYER – whether it be made of durable pocket springs, resilient latex, or economical polyfoam – is generally between 4” and 8″ thick, depending on your size and preferences.
If you want to get fancier than those two basic layers, you’re not alone. Many DIYers add temperature-modulating wool batting as the top layer. A one-inch coco coir mat makes a breathable & cooling base layer under pocketed coils. Etc.
Either way, it’s all still just stacking layers of mattress materials inside a zippered cover.
Like a giant layer cake. That you sleep on. 🎂 🛌 💤
DIY is a Much BETTER Option

When you DIY, you decide exactly what goes into your mattress. Don’t want any industrial glues, fiberglass, or chemical flame retardants? Great! You don’t need them.
