My approach to testing luxury organic mattresses has evolved through years of experience. I know that while initial impressions matter, the true test comes from systematic evaluation of how each component performs both individually and as part of the integrated system.
Key questions guided my investigation:
- How effectively does the organic latex layer work with the dual coil systems?
- Does the pillow top maintain its plush feel without compromising support?
- Can the natural materials really deliver comparable or superior performance to synthetic alternatives?
These were the core issues I needed to address.
Through several weeks of rigorous testing, I examined the Concerto across all major performance categories. I conducted standardized tests for motion transfer, edge support, and temperature regulation, while also spending multiple nights sleeping in different positions to assess real-world comfort and support.
After all, when a mattress positions itself as a premium organic alternative in the luxury market, it needs to deliver more than just eco-friendly credentials. It must provide exceptional sleep quality to justify its price point.
Let me take you through my detailed findings about this fascinating entry in the luxury organic mattress market. From its impressive temperature regulation to its unique approach to pressure relief, the Concerto represents an interesting evolution in sustainable sleep technology.
My testing revealed both notable strengths and a few limitations that potential buyers should consider carefully.
- Temperature Control (9/10): Achieves exceptional cooling through an all-natural system combining organic cotton, wool batting, and dual coil construction. No synthetic cooling technologies needed. Perfect for hot sleepers wanting a chemical-free solution.
- Position-Specific Design: Excels for side sleeping with premium pressure relief but too soft for stomach sleepers and potentially lacking support for back sleepers. Best suited for dedicated side sleepers rather than combination sleepers.
- Premium Investment: Higher price point reflects organic materials, sustainable manufacturing, and durable construction backed by a 25-year warranty. Worth considering for those prioritizing both sleep quality and environmental impact.
Our Review Process: Each mattress we review undergoes a rigorous evaluation process. We assess comfort, support, cooling, and durability through both subjective experiences and objective tests.
Criteria include pressure relief, spine alignment, mattress responsiveness, motion transfer, edge support, and temperature regulation. This comprehensive approach ensures our reviews are thorough and unbiased.
I. Mattress Layers, Materials, and Construction
When the Naturepedic Concerto Plush Pillow Top arrived, I was immediately impressed by its careful packaging and delivery system. While many mattresses arrive with a strong chemical smell, this one had none. A testament to its organic materials and natural construction methods.
As I began documenting the unboxing process, I noticed how the mattress expanded quickly and evenly, suggesting excellent quality control in the compression process. I’ve thoroughly examined the construction of the mattress, and I’ll walk you through its layers from top to bottom.
Starting at the very top, we have the quilted cover layer, which combines organic cotton fabric with organic wool batting. This isn’t just any cover, mind you. It’s specifically designed to promote unrestricted airflow while wicking away moisture and establish a fiberglass-free mattress.
Just beneath this, we find what I consider one of the most important components: the primary comfort layer. It consists of 2 inches of GOTS-certified organic latex. Or in other words, this latex isn’t synthetic foam.
Instead, it’s whipped like cream from rubber tree sap, which I find interesting from both a comfort and sustainability perspective. The latex provides excellent pressure relief while maintaining responsiveness.
Moving deeper into the mattress, there’s a thin layer of organic cotton that acts as a transition layer. This leads us to what I believe is one of the most innovative features: a 3/4-inch layer of high-density microcoils.
When I studied the design, I realized these microcoils serve a dual purpose. That is, they enhance breathability while providing precise body contouring.
The pillow top component itself is crafted from organic cotton, adding an extra layer of plush comfort. This isn’t just stuffing, either. Though it feels as wispy and gentle as a cotton ball against skin, it’s carefully engineered to maintain its shape and support.
At the foundation, we find the main pocketed coil layer with reinforced edge support. Having analyzed many mattresses, I appreciate how this base layer provides crucial support while allowing for proper air circulation.
The edge support is particularly well-designed, preventing that feeling of rolling off that can occur with softer mattresses.
What impresses me most about this construction is the complete absence of several common mattress materials. There are no flame retardants, no polyurethane foam, and notably, no glues or adhesives. Instead, the layers are held together through careful engineering and design.
Plus, there’s the attention to breathability throughout the design. From the cotton cover to the dual coil systems, every layer contributes to air flow. This isn’t just about comfort, you see. It’s about creating a healthier sleep environment by preventing heat and moisture buildup.
II. Sleeping Positions
Position compatibility is one of the most crucial yet often overlooked aspects of mattress performance. Each sleeping position creates unique pressure points and support needs, making it essential to understand how a mattress responds to different body positions throughout the night.
The Concerto’s construction presents an interesting case study in how different mattress components work together to support various sleep positions.
Its plush pillow top, organic latex layer, and dual coil systems create a complex interplay of comfort and support that performs differently depending on how you position yourself.
Just as you might adjust your posture when sitting in different chairs, your mattress needs to adapt to support your body’s alignment whether you’re lying on your side, back, stomach, or shifting between positions.
So knowing not just how the mattress performs, but why it performs that way, allowing you to better assess whether it matches your personal sleep preferences and needs.
Side Sleeping
Starting with side sleeping, which is typically the most demanding position for pressure point relief, I noticed immediate differences from traditional mattresses. When I laid on my side, the plush pillow top allowed my shoulder to sink in quite deeply, more than I initially expected.
The organic latex layer and microcoil system worked together to create what I’d describe as a cradling sensation around my shoulder and hip areas. I could feel the pressure distributing along my side rather than concentrating at these typical pressure points.
What particularly caught my attention in the side position was how the mattress maintained spinal alignment despite its plush feel. While my shoulder and hip sank in, the supportive layers beneath prevented excessive dipping that could misalign my spine.
I did notice, however, that as a lighter person, I didn’t engage the deeper support layers as much as someone heavier might.
When I asked a heavier colleague to test the same position, they reported feeling more of the underlying support structure while still enjoying the plush surface comfort that a mattress for side sleeping should provide.
Back Sleeping
Transitioning to back sleeping revealed some interesting characteristics of the mattress’s design. The plush pillow top created what I’d describe as a floating sensation.
I could feel myself settling into the surface layers, but there was a distinct point where the support layers prevented further sinking.
What impressed me was how the mattress filled in the natural curve of my lower back. Many plush mattresses I’ve tested allow too much sinking in the hip area when back sleeping, but the Concerto’s transition from comfort to support layers felt more graduated.
I did notice, however, that the plush nature might not suit everyone’s preferences for a back sleeping mattress. When I remained in this position for an extended period (about an hour), I found myself wanting slightly firmer support, particularly under my lumbar region.
This observation aligns with why many back sleepers traditionally prefer firmer mattresses.
Stomach Sleeping
Lying on my stomach, I immediately noticed how the plush pillow top created a significant challenge for this position. As a stomach sleeper, I could feel my midsection sinking deeper than ideal, creating what I’d describe as a hammocking effect in my lower back.
This sensation was particularly noticeable because the mattress’s comfort layers, which include organic latex and microcoils, are designed for pressure relief rather than maintaining the flatter surface that stomach sleeping typically requires.
I experimented with different positions for my arms—placing them at my sides, under my head, and out to the sides like a starfish.
In each variation, I found that the plush surface, while wonderfully comfortable for initial contact, didn’t provide the firmer support that mattresses for stomach sleeping demand for proper spinal alignment.
Think of it like trying to do a plank exercise on a soft surface. Your core has to work harder to maintain proper form.
Combination Sleeping
The mattress’s adaptability was put to the test as a mattress for combination sleeping. I paid particular attention to what happened during my typical sleep movements.
As someone who might start on their side but wake up on their stomach, I found that the mattress’s surface adaptability could potentially encourage more position changes than usual.
See, while the latex and microcoil layers helped prevent that “stuck” feeling common in some plush mattresses, there was still a brief adjustment period as the materials responded to position changes.
It’s similar to how a softer running surface might cause you to adjust your gait more frequently. The plushness of the mattress seemed to prompt more subtle position adjustments throughout the night.
When rolling toward the edge of the mattress, I noticed that the reinforced perimeter provided enough support to prevent feeling like I might roll off.
III. Mattress Responsiveness
A mattress’s responsiveness (how quickly it adjusts to changes in position and weight distribution) plays a crucial role in both sleep quality and physical comfort. This becomes particularly important during the natural position changes we make throughout the night.
Just as we prefer a conversation partner who responds promptly rather than with long delays, our bodies benefit from a mattress that quickly adapts to our movements.
To evaluate the Concerto’s responsiveness, I conducted a series of systematic tests designed to measure both immediate and gradual response characteristics.
The primary test involved dropping calibrated weights (10 pounds each) from a controlled height and measuring both the initial bounce response and the time it took for the mattress to return to its original position.
I also performed human movement tests, including timed position changes (side to back, back to stomach) while recording the mattress’s recovery speed and any resistance to movement.
The Concerto earns a 9 out of 10 for responsiveness, primarily due to its innovative combination of natural latex and dual coil systems. The natural latex layer provides immediate surface response. In simple terms, when pressure is applied or removed, it rebounds almost instantly.
Unlike memory foam, which can create a “quicksand” sensation requiring conscious effort to change positions, the latex demonstrates what I’d describe as energetic resilience.
The microcoil layer beneath the latex adds another dimension to the mattress’s responsiveness. These small, individually wrapped coils act like thousands of tiny springs, each responding independently to localized pressure changes.
During testing, I observed how this layer creates a dynamic response zone that works in concert with the latex above it. When changing positions, you can feel how these components work together to assist rather than resist movement.
The main support coil system provides the foundational responsiveness. During weight drop tests, I noticed how quickly the entire system stabilized after impact – typically within 1-2 seconds. This is notably faster than many foam-based mattresses, which can take 3-4 seconds or longer to fully recover from compression.
What’s particularly impressive about the Concerto’s responsiveness is how it maintains this quick recovery while still providing excellent pressure relief.
Often, mattresses must sacrifice one quality for the other—either being very responsive but too firm, or pressure-relieving but slow to respond. The Concerto manages to balance both through its layered construction approach, though of the two qualities I do give it more kudos for its buoyancy than its reduction of motion transfer.
The only reason this mattress doesn’t receive a perfect 10 for responsiveness is that there’s a slight delay in the transition between the initial latex response and the deeper support layer engagement.
While this delay is minimal (less than half a second in most cases) it’s noticeable enough during rapid movement sequences to prevent a perfect score.
Temperature appears to have minimal impact on the mattress’s responsiveness, another advantage of using natural materials.
During both warm and cool room temperature testing, the response characteristics remained consistent. This stability across temperature ranges is particularly important for year-round performance.
IV. Mattress Motion Isolation
Motion isolation has become increasingly important in mattress design as sleep patterns and lifestyles evolve. Consider how many adults share their bed with a partner, and that many have different sleep schedules or movement patterns during the night. Poor motion isolation can lead to repeated sleep disruptions.
When one partner shifts position, gets up for water, or returns to bed late, these movements can transfer across the mattress surface and disturb their partner’s sleep. Over time, these disruptions can accumulate into significant sleep debt, affecting both physical health and relationship dynamics.
To test the bed’s ability to stop motion in its tracks, I conducted drop tests using my 10-pound weights to simulate sudden movements, measuring the ripple effect across the mattress surface. I also stimulated restless sleeping movements with a partner, each of us observing what we felt.
And I would give the Concerto an 8 out of 10 for motion isolation and its sophisticated layered construction. The plush pillow top serves as the first line of defense, absorbing initial impact energy before it can propagate across the mattress surface. It’s similar to how a thick carpet absorbs footsteps better than hardwood flooring.
Beneath this, the latex comfort layer and microcoil system work together in an interesting way. While latex is naturally bouncy, which might seem counterproductive for motion isolation, the small, individually wrapped microcoils help segment this bounce effect into smaller, more contained zones.
During weight drop tests, I could see how movement energy was compartmentalized rather than spreading across the surface.
The main support coil system, featuring individually wrapped coils, provides the final layer of motion isolation. These larger coils are designed to move independently, preventing the domino effect that can occur in traditional interconnected spring systems.
When testing with partner movements, I noticed that motion transfer decreased significantly beyond about 8-10 inches from the source of movement.
I also noticed that room temperature and usage time appear to have minimal impact on motion isolation performance. Unlike polyfoam-based systems that can become more rigid in cooler temperatures, the Concerto’s natural materials maintain consistent motion isolation properties across various environmental conditions.
Overall, this is a plus. This stability helps ensure reliable performance throughout the night and across seasons.
However, there are reasons why the Concerto doesn’t achieve a perfect score for motion isolation. The natural bounce of latex, while beneficial for responsiveness, does allow some motion transfer, particularly with larger movements like getting in and out of bed.
And the plush nature of the mattress means that deeper compressions can create subtle wave-like effects that may be noticeable to extremely sensitive sleepers.
The motion isolation performance varies depending on the type of movement. Small, frequent movements like position changes are very well contained.
Larger, more sudden movements, such as jumping onto the bed or sitting down heavily, create more noticeable transfer, though still less than what you’d experience with a traditional spring mattress.
V. Mattress Edge Support
Edge support plays a vital role in mattress performance that extends far beyond just preventing you from rolling off the bed.
For couples sharing a mattress, strong edge support effectively expands the usable sleep surface, allowing both partners to use the full width of the mattress without feeling like they might slip off when sleeping near the perimeter. This becomes especially crucial for couples where one partner tends to gravitate toward the edge during sleep.
For individuals with mobility challenges, edge support serves an even more essential function. When sitting on the bed’s edge to get dressed, transfer to a wheelchair, or simply transition in and out of bed, a supportive edge provides the stable platform needed for these daily activities.
Like a handrail on stairs, it’s not just about preventing falls, it’s about providing confidence and security in everyday movements.
In testing the Concerto’s edge support, I employed several systematic approaches to evaluate its performance under different conditions. First, I conducted static weight tests by sitting at various points along the mattress edge, both straight-on and at angles that might be used during daily activities.
I also performed dynamic testing by lying parallel to the edge at different distances and shifting positions to simulate natural sleep movements. Additionally, I evaluated the edge while getting in and out of bed repeatedly, mimicking typical daily use patterns.
And the Concerto earns an 8 out of 10 through its reinforced perimeter construction. The mattress uses a specialized edge support system integrated with its main coil unit, creating what I’d describe as a graduated resistance zone around the perimeter.
So when sitting directly on the edge, I noticed an initial firmness that prevents immediate collapse, followed by a controlled compression that maintains stability without bottoming out.
During sleep-position testing near the edge, the support remained consistent up to about 4-5 inches from the perimeter. Beyond this point, there was a noticeable increase in compression, though not to the degree that would create a rolling-off sensation.
This performance is particularly impressive considering the mattress’s overall plush feel. I’ve found that maintaining edge stability in a softer mattress presents unique engineering challenges.
However, there are a few reasons why the edge support doesn’t achieve a perfect score. During prolonged sitting tests, I noticed progressive compression that, while not severe, suggests the edge might soften somewhat over time with regular use in the same spot.
And when compared to some ultra-firm edge support systems, the Concerto’s plush nature means you’ll experience more compression when sitting directly on the corner.
So, individuals who require maximum edge stability for medical reasons or transfer assistance might want to consider mattresses specifically designed for these needs. Still, a not-so-perfect score isn’t a drawback for everyone.
Some mattresses do achieve stronger edge support through extremely firm perimeter materials. But such approaches can create an awkward transition from edge to center and potentially impede ventilation.
The Concerto’s solution prioritizes a more harmonious integration of edge support with the mattress’s overall design philosophy. For most users, including couples and those with moderate mobility needs, the side support will prove more than adequate.
VI. Cooling and Breathability
Temperature regulation during sleep is far more than just a comfort consideration. It’s fundamentally tied to the quality of your rest and your body’s natural sleep cycles.
Our bodies are programmed to experience a slight drop in core temperature as we prepare for and maintain sleep, typically between 1-2 degrees Fahrenheit.
When a mattress interferes with this natural cooling process by trapping heat or preventing airflow, it can disrupt our sleep architecture and prevent us from achieving the deep, restorative sleep we need.
In testing the Naturepedic Concerto’s capabilities as a cooling mattress, I employed several systematic approaches to evaluate its performance. First, I conducted extended sleep sessions of 6-8 hours, paying careful attention to temperature changes throughout the night.
I also performed specific heat retention tests, including a 30-minute stationary position test to assess heat buildup, followed by a 5-minute vacancy period to evaluate how quickly the mattress could dissipate accumulated warmth.
The Concerto earns a 9 out of 10 for cooling and breathability through a thoughtful combination of design elements and material choices. The mattress’s temperature regulation begins with its organic cotton cover, which provides natural moisture-wicking properties.
This isn’t just marketing. I could feel the difference when comparing the surface temperature to conventional synthetic covers. The cotton’s ability to move moisture away from the body creates an immediate cooling sensation that remains consistent throughout the night.
Beneath the cover, the wool batting layer plays a crucial dual role. Wool is a remarkable natural material that can both insulate and cool. It’s able to absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet.
During testing, I noticed how this layer helped maintain a consistent temperature even as room conditions changed throughout the night. The wool’s moisture-wicking capabilities became particularly evident during longer sleep sessions, where other mattresses might begin to feel clammy or humid.
The mattress’s innovative dual coil system creates what I’d describe as a ventilation network throughout its structure. The main support coils and the layer of microcoils work together to facilitate significant airflow. This is notably different from foam-based mattresses that can create heat-trapping barriers.
The organic latex layer, while providing essential comfort and support, also contributes to the cooling properties. Unlike synthetic foams that can act as heat insulators, natural latex has an open-cell structure that promotes airflow.
During the stationary testing, I observed that areas that had been under constant pressure for 30 minutes returned to ambient temperature notably faster than comparable areas on traditional memory foam mattresses.
Now, you might be surprised to learn that the edge support construction also plays a role in temperature regulation. See, the reinforced perimeter allows for consistent airflow even at the mattress edges, preventing the formation of heat-trapping zones that can occur when edge support systems block ventilation.
This became apparent to me when testing near the mattress periphery, where temperature regulation remained consistent with the center areas.
The only reason this mattress doesn’t receive a perfect 10 for cooling is that there are some specialized cooling technologies, like phase-change materials or active cooling systems, that can provide even more aggressive temperature regulation. I’ve tested a few such examples:
However, for most sleepers, the Concerto’s natural and passive cooling systems will provide more than adequate temperature management for comfortable sleep.
VII. Durability and Longevity
Durability’s importance extends far beyond the simple concept of “getting your money’s worth.” When a mattress begins to deteriorate, it doesn’t just become less comfortable. It can fundamentally change how it supports your body.
When it’s new, a mattress absorbs impacts and maintains stability precisely as designed. But as components wear down, its performance becomes inconsistent and unpredictable.
This degradation can lead to poor spinal alignment, pressure point formation, and disrupted sleep patterns, potentially affecting your health and well-being over time.
And while I can simulate years of use through compression testing and other methods, these tests can’t perfectly replicate the complex combination of factors that affect a mattress in real-world use. That is, things like varying body weights, sleep positions, humidity levels, and temperature fluctuations affect how long a mattress lasts.
Two identical mattresses might have vastly different lifespans based on factors like whether users rotate them regularly, use appropriate bed frames, maintain proper humidity levels, or even how often they sit on the edge while getting dressed.
But in my experience, I would say this mattress could go the distance and pass the 10-year mark.My estimate is based largely on an understanding of its premium materials.
The Concerto’s projected longevity begins with its foundational support system. The individually wrapped coils are manufactured in-house by Naturepedic.
What makes these coils particularly valuable for a durable mattress is their glueless construction method, which might seem counterintuitive at first. While most manufacturers use adhesives to secure their coil systems, these adhesives can break down over time, leading to premature sagging and reduced support.
Eliminating this potential point of failure allows the coils to maintain their integrity and responsiveness, establishing a mattress that won’t sag.
The comfort layers demonstrate similar attention to long-term durability. The organic latex layer, sourced from rubber trees and certified to GOLS standards, provides natural resilience that synthetic materials struggle to match.
Natural latex has an inherent molecular structure that allows it to recover its shape consistently over many years of use. This material characteristic means the mattress is less likely to develop permanent body impressions, a common issue that leads many conventional mattresses to need replacement.
The microcoil layer adds another dimension to the mattress’s longevity. These small, individually wrapped coils work in concert with the latex layer to distribute weight and pressure.
Think of them as thousands of tiny shock absorbers that help prevent any single area of the mattress from bearing too much stress. This weight distribution is crucial for maintaining the mattress’s shape and support over time, particularly important given its plush pillow-top design.
The organic cotton and wool components also contribute to durability in ways that might not be immediately apparent. The GOTS-certified organic cotton used in multiple layers of the mattress is typically stronger and more resilient than conventional cotton because it hasn’t been weakened by chemical processing.
The wool batting serves multiple functions, too. Beyond its temperature-regulating properties, it acts as a natural fire barrier and helps maintain the mattress’s loft over time. Wool fibers have a natural crimp that allows them to spring back to shape even after years of compression.
The edge support system deserves special mention when discussing longevity. The reinforced edges help maintain the mattress’s structural integrity even with regular sitting and getting in and out of bed.
This reinforcement prevents the common issue of edge breakdown that often leads to premature mattress replacement, even when the center of the mattress remains supportive.
Naturepedic backs their confidence in the Concerto’s durability with a 25-year warranty, significantly longer than the industry standard of 10 years. However, this warranty’s real value lies in its detailed coverage terms.
During the first decade, the warranty provides full replacement coverage for any qualifying defects, including body impressions deeper than 1.5 inches. This is a more generous threshold than many competitors offer.
The prorated coverage for the remaining 15 years continues to protect against material defects while acknowledging the natural wear that occurs over time.
Worth noting that maximizing the Concerto’s longevity requires proper care and maintenance. For example, the mattress should be rotated regularly, every 3-4 months during the first year and every 6 months thereafter.
When properly maintained, the Concerto’s combination of premium materials and thoughtful engineering should provide consistent comfort and support well beyond the typical 7-10 year replacement cycle of conventional mattresses.
VIII. Potential Drawbacks
The most significant limitation relates to its firmness level. This mattress is deliberately designed to be quite plush, which creates a specific sleeping experience that won’t suit everyone. The soft nature of the mattress makes it primarily suitable for side sleepers who prefer a plusher feel.
Back and stomach sleepers typically need firmer support to maintain proper spinal alignment, and they may find this mattress too soft for their needs. Even some side sleepers who prefer moderate firmness might find the plush feel excessive.
The price point represents another significant consideration. The Concerto positions itself in the premium segment of the organic mattress market, with prices ranging from $1,699 for a twin to $3,599 for a king size.
When compared to other latex hybrid mattresses, this places it on the higher end of the price spectrum. More affordable options that I can personally vouch for include:
While the quality of materials and construction might justify this pricing for some buyers, it could be prohibitive for more budget-conscious consumers, especially considering that similar organic options are available at lower price points.
The mattress’s button-tufted construction has emerged as a notable concern in customer feedback. Several reviewers have reported being able to feel the buttons through the mattress surface, even when using a mattress protector.
One verified buyer specifically mentioned this issue, describing it as a noticeable distraction from the overall comfort of the mattress. This sensation might be particularly problematic for sensitive sleepers or those who tend to move around during the night.
IX. Trial Period, Warranty, Pricing, and Sizes
When investing in a premium mattress like the Naturepedic Concerto Plush Pillow Top, understanding the practical aspects of ownership is just as important as knowing about its construction and comfort features.
The trial period, warranty coverage, and sizing options form a crucial framework that protects your investment and ensures you can make an informed decision about this significant purchase.
Think of these aspects as the safety net beneath your investment. They work together to ensure you have time to properly evaluate the mattress, protection against potential issues, and options that fit your specific space and needs.
Whether you’re comparing different models or preparing to make your purchase, understanding these details will help you navigate both the initial decision-making process and the long-term ownership experience.
Sleep Trial
When you buy a Concerto mattress directly from Naturepedic’s website or by calling their phone number, you get 100 nights to try out your new mattress at home.
Think of it like borrowing a book from the library. You get to test it out before deciding if it’s right for you to own a copy.
During your 100-night trial, you might notice different things about your mattress. You might think about:
- How comfortable it feels when you first lie down
- Whether you wake up feeling too hot or just right
- If you can move around easily on the mattress
- Whether you’re sleeping better or worse than before
Here’s the important part: you need to sleep on the mattress for at least 30 nights before you can return it. This might seem like a long time, but there’s a good reason for this rule.
Just like breaking in a new pair of shoes, your body needs time to get used to a new mattress. Sometimes it can take a few weeks for your body to adjust to sleeping on a different surface.
If you decide the mattress isn’t right for you after those first 30 nights (but before the 100 nights are up), you can return it. To do this, you’ll need to:
- Call Naturepedic at 800-917-3342
- Ask for a “return authorization number”
- Follow their instructions for sending the mattress back
Remember, this mattress trial period gives you plenty of time to make sure your mattress is perfect for you. If you have any questions during your trial, you can always call Naturepedic for help.
Mattress Warranty
When you buy a new Naturepedic Concerto mattress, it comes with a 25-year warranty that protects you if something goes wrong with the mattress. This warranty works like a promise from the company to fix or replace your mattress if it has certain problems that aren’t your fault.
The warranty covers two main things. First, if your mattress gets a deep dent that’s bigger than 1½ inches. But remember, this only counts if you’ve been using the right kind of base under your mattress. You need to have a solid platform or slats that are close together (no more than 3 inches apart) to properly support the mattress.
Second, if the materials inside the mattress break down during normal use. This means if the latex foam splits or cracks, or if the springs inside fail while you’re just using the mattress normally.
The warranty works differently depending on how long you’ve had your mattress:
- For the first 10 years, Naturepedic will completely fix or replace your mattress if it has these problems.
- After that, for the next 15 years, they’ll still help you, but you’ll need to pay part of the cost.
- Starting in year 11, they’ll cover 60% of the cost, and this amount goes down by 4% each year after that.
Some things aren’t covered by the warranty, like if:
- You stain or burn the mattress
- You fold or bend it
- You jump on it
- You don’t clean it properly
- You don’t store it the right way
- You buy it used from someone else
If you think something’s wrong with your mattress that should be covered by the warranty, you’ll need to:
- Take a picture of the law label (that’s the tag on your mattress)
- Find your proof of purchase (like your receipt)
- Write a short description of the problem
- Send all of this to Naturepedic
You can either mail this information to their address in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, or call them at 1-800-917-3342 for help.
Remember, this warranty only works for the person who originally bought the mattress. So you can’t pass it on to someone else if you give away or sell your mattress.
Prices and Sizes
The Naturepedic Concerto Plush Pillow Top comes in all standard mattress sizes. The 13-inch profile puts it in the luxury thickness category, offering substantial comfort layers while maintaining proper support.

It’s worth noting that the Concerto is positioned as a premium offering within Naturepedic’s own lineup. For comparison, their Serenade model starts at a lower price point, while their customizable EOS Pillow Top represents their ultra-premium offering.
X. Customer Reviews
When I read customer feedback, I’m getting unfiltered opinions from people who have invested their own money in the product. This gives me a more balanced view than marketing materials alone, helping me understand both the strengths and limitations of the mattress.
I can learn about real-world value proposition, whether customers feel the mattress was worth its price tag after extended use.
I should note that the diversity of experiences in customer feedback also reminds me that mattress comfort is subjective. What works perfectly for one person might not work for another. By reading multiple reviews, I can better understand the range of experiences and whether my preferences align with those who enjoyed the mattress most.
If I have back problems, I can specifically look for reviews from users who share this condition. If I sleep hot, I can seek out experiences from others who had temperature concerns. This kind of targeted insight helps me understand how the mattress might work for my specific situation.
The collective wisdom of customer feedback also helps me understand potential issues I might not have considered.
For example, reviews might reveal practical considerations like delivery challenges, setup complexities, or customer service experiences. All factors that could significantly impact my overall satisfaction with the purchase.
And speaking of, the overall customer satisfaction appears to be quite high, with the mattress receiving an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars across 13 reviews. Approximately 75% of respondents would recommend the product to friends, indicating generally positive experiences.
The most prominent positive aspects mentioned by customers center around comfort and plushness. Multiple reviewers describe the mattress as having an ideal balance between softness and support.
For instance, Warren, a verified buyer who owns four different Naturepedic mattresses, notes that the Concerto Pillow Top is the plushest of all their models while still maintaining good support.
Similarly, Rob from Winnipeg appreciates that the mattress feels “supportive but not too firm” with a “good edge.”
The organic and non-toxic aspects of the mattress are particularly valued by customers. Several reviewers, including Rob, specifically mention choosing this mattress for its organic certifications.
The absence of chemical odors was noted positively by Troy, who appreciated that there were “no crazy chemical odors” upon delivery.
However, there are some notable concerns raised in the feedback. The most significant issues include:
- Button-related discomfort: Two separate reviewers (Lisa and Nicky) mentioned being able to feel buttons through the mattress top, which negatively impacted their comfort.
- Customer service challenges: Lisa from Little River, SC, detailed difficulties with shipping information, communication, and warranty registration, particularly noting compatibility issues with Apple products.
- Initial setup concerns: One reviewer (Nicky) reported issues with the mattress not fully expanding at the corners and an unpleasant farm-like smell that persisted.
The mattress appears to be particularly effective for addressing sleep-related pain issues. Louanne’s review stands out as she reported significant improvement in hip pain after switching from another expensive mattress. This therapeutic benefit developed gradually over their first month of use.
Comparing it to other brands, some customers specifically mentioned switching from other well-known mattress companies. Ian, for example, found the Concerto significantly more comfortable than their previous Casper mattress, which they described as feeling like “sleeping on a rock.”
The mattress seems to perform well with adjustable bases, as noted by Warren, and despite its substantial weight, can be managed during delivery and setup, though Troy mentioned it required some effort to move up stairs.
Price consideration appears in the context of value rather than as a barrier, with multiple reviewers indicating they feel the mattress is “worth every penny” given its quality and comfort features.
The length of ownership among reviewers ranges from one week to over a year, with consistent positive feedback across different durations of use, suggesting the mattress maintains its comfort and quality characteristics over time.
This feedback paints a picture of a premium organic mattress that successfully combines luxury comfort with eco-friendly materials, though potential buyers should be aware of possible issues with the button-tufted design and may need to exercise patience with customer service interactions.
XI. Environmental Impact
Choosing a Concerto mattress isn’t just about personal comfort. It’s about participating in a larger movement toward sustainable manufacturing and responsible resource use in the bedding industry. A significant commitment to environmental sustainability and the normalization of eco-friendly mattresses, extending far beyond the immediate purchase.
The additional cost of the mattress can thus be understood as an investment not only in personal health but in environmental protection for future generations. Let me explain how this mattress’s design and manufacturing processes contribute to environmental protection both inside your home and in the broader ecosystem.
Materials
At the core of the mattress’s environmental impact is its careful material selection. The organic cotton used in the Concerto comes from a collective of organic growers in Texas who primarily rely on rainwater for cultivation, with some using efficient center pivot irrigation systems when additional water is needed.
This organic cotton cultivation eliminates the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers that conventional cotton farming typically requires.
This is a significant difference when we consider that conventional cotton farming in the U.S. alone uses 48 million pounds of pesticides annually.
Naturepedic sources only certified FSC or GOLS (Global Organic Latex Standard) latex from rubber trees grown using verified sustainable methods. This certification helps protect rainforest areas and supports the communities living and working in these regions.
Unlike conventional mattresses that use synthetic latex or petroleum-based foams, this natural latex sourcing helps maintain biodiversity and reduces carbon footprint.
The wool used in the Concerto comes exclusively from GOTS-certified organic sources, ensuring that the sheep are raised humanely and sustainably.
This certification extends beyond just animal welfare. It guarantees that the sheep’s feed comes from fields free of unapproved pesticides and GMO seeds, creating a ripple effect of environmental benefits throughout the agricultural supply chain.
Perhaps most importantly, the Concerto’s construction avoids many environmentally harmful materials common in conventional mattresses.
There are no polyurethane foams, chemical flame retardants, formaldehyde, or toxic adhesives that could off-gas into your home or eventually leach into soil and groundwater when disposed of.
This absence of harmful chemicals protects both immediate indoor air quality and long-term environmental health.
Manufacturing
Naturepedic’s factory emphasizes handcrafted production methods that significantly reduce electricity consumption, with many powered tools running on compressed air instead of electricity.
The company has also implemented innovative practices like their glueless encased coil system, eliminating the need for chemical adhesives commonly used in mattress manufacturing.
Disposal Considerations
The mattress’s design considers end-of-life environmental impact as well. While many conventional mattresses end up in landfills, Naturepedic has invested significantly in recycling programs.
In 2019, they spent approximately $48,000 on mattress recycling initiatives. The company’s commitment to sustainability extends to their packaging system, which helps keep 55,000 pounds of single-use plastic out of landfills each year.
Advocacy
As a member of 1% for the Planet and participant in various environmental initiatives, Naturepedic ensures that your purchase supports broader environmental advocacy efforts.
The company’s transparency in environmental impact, documented through their sustainability reports and multiple certifications like GOTS, GOLS, and EWG VERIFIED, provides accountability for their environmental claims and commits them to ongoing improvement in their environmental practices.
XII. Maintenance and Care
This premium organic mattress is not unlike a living, breathing system. Its natural materials require thoughtful care that differs significantly from conventional mattresses.
Just as you might care differently for a fine wool sweater compared to a synthetic blend, this mattress needs specific attention to maintain its organic integrity and performance characteristics.
Proper maintenance becomes even more important when we consider the investment this mattress represents. While the 25-year warranty provides important protection, the day-to-day care you provide plays a crucial role in how well the mattress performs throughout its lifespan.
The organic materials (from the cotton and wool to the natural latex – each have unique properties that contribute to the mattress’s comfort and durability, but they also require specific care considerations to maintain their benefits.
Cover with Protection
The first and most essential step is protecting the mattress from the start. Naturepedic specifically recommends using a mattress protector or pad, and there’s solid reasoning behind this. Fluids are particularly problematic for organic materials, as they can penetrate deeply into the layers and create conditions for mold growth.
Even small amounts of sweat or spills can, over time, compromise the organic cotton and wool components. I recommend choosing a waterproof protector that’s still breathable, as maintaining airflow is crucial for this mattress’s performance.
Regular Chores
Regular maintenance should include periodic inspection of the mattress’s surface and edges. Look for any signs of unusual wear, particularly around the tufted buttons and edges.
Avoid sitting in the same spot on the edge repeatedly, as this can compress the reinforced edges over time. When making the bed, avoid pulling the sheets too tightly around the corners, as this can strain the edge support system.
Speaking of, sheet selection and maintenance also impact mattress longevity. Given the 13-inch profile of this mattress, use deep-pocket sheets that properly fit without pulling too tightly on the corners.
Wash your sheets weekly! This isn’t just about cleanliness, it’s about preventing the transfer of oils and skin cells that can eventually make their way through to the mattress surface.
If you notice any threads coming loose on the mattress, especially around the tufting, don’t pull them! This can compromise the structural integrity of the pillow top. Instead, carefully trim any loose threads with scissors.
One common question I encounter is about flipping and rotating the mattress. This mattress should never be flipped. It’s constructed with specific layers that must remain in their intended orientation.
However, I recommend rotating it head-to-foot every three to four months during the first year, then every six months thereafter. This helps prevent body impressions from forming and ensures more even wear, particularly important given the plush pillow top construction.
Cleaning Messes
When it comes to cleaning the mattress, this model requires a specific approach due to its organic materials. Only spot cleaning is recommended, and it’s important to understand why.
Deep cleaning or saturating the mattress can compromise the organic materials and potentially void the warranty. When spot cleaning, use as little moisture as possible, just enough to treat the spot, and allow it to air dry completely.
Never use harsh chemical cleaners, as these can react with the organic materials and potentially damage the mattress’s certifications.
In more humid months, consider using a dehumidifier in the bedroom. The organic materials in this mattress can absorb environmental moisture, and maintaining proper humidity levels (between 30-50%) helps preserve the materials’ integrity.
Keep Notes
Finally, document your care routine. This might seem excessive, but keeping track of when you rotate the mattress and perform other maintenance can help you stay consistent with care and could be valuable if you ever need to make a warranty claim.
Remember that this mattress comes with a 25-year warranty, but maintaining that coverage often depends on proving proper care and maintenance.
XIII. Conclusion
After thoroughly testing and evaluating the Naturepedic Concerto Plush Pillow Top mattress, I can confidently give it an overall score of 9 out of 10. This high score reflects how well the mattress performs in key areas that matter most for a good night’s sleep.
The Concerto really shines when it comes to comfort, especially for side sleepers who like a softer feel. The organic materials work together to create a sleeping surface that’s both comfortable and cooling. And the way the mattress handles temperature is particularly impressive, keeping you from getting too hot during the night.
While no mattress is perfect for everyone, the Concerto comes close for its target audience. Yes, it’s more expensive than many other mattresses, but you’re paying for high-quality organic materials and careful construction that should last many years.
I’ve been impressed with how the mattress combines comfort with environmental responsibility. It’s nice knowing that a comfortable night’s sleep doesn’t have to come at the cost of using harmful chemicals or materials that hurt the environment.
Though, the mattress does have a few small drawbacks to consider. It might be too soft for stomach sleepers, and some people can feel the buttons through the top layer. Also, the price might be too high for some budgets.
But if you’re looking for a natural, organic mattress that’s especially good for side sleeping and staying cool, the Concerto is an excellent choice.

XIV. FAQs
Does Naturepedic have fiberglass?
Naturepedic mattresses, including the Concerto, do not contain any fiberglass as a flame retardant. Instead, they use organic wool batting, which acts as a natural flame barrier while providing moisture-wicking properties.
This approach aligns with Naturepedic’s commitment to using only organic and non-toxic materials in their mattresses, allowing them to meet federal flammability requirements without synthetic flame retardants or chemical treatments.
Is a Naturepedic mattress actually breathable?
The Concerto’s construction demonstrates significant attention to breathability through multiple design elements. The mattress uses a combination of organic cotton fabric, wool batting, and dual coil systems (both microcoils and primary support coils) that create channels for air movement throughout the mattress.
The organic cotton cover and wool batting work together to wick away moisture, while the coil systems allow for continuous air circulation, preventing heat and moisture from becoming trapped within the mattress layers.
Why is Naturepedic so expensive?
The higher price reflects several factors in their production and materials. They use certified organic materials throughout the mattress, including GOTS-certified cotton, wool, and latex, which are more expensive to source than conventional materials.
The mattress is made in the USA with specialized techniques, such as their proprietary glueless encased coil system, which requires more labor-intensive methods than standard mattress construction.
Additionally, the multiple third-party certifications (GOTS, Made Safe, EWG Verified) require ongoing compliance and testing, adding to the overall cost.
What makes the Concerto different from a traditional pillow top mattress?
The Concerto distinguishes itself through its innovative construction and material choices. Unlike conventional pillow tops that often use synthetic foams and chemical adhesives, the Concerto employs organic cotton, wool, and latex, along with a unique layer of high-density microcoils in its pillow top section.
The mattress also features a glueless coil system, which is rare in the industry and demonstrates Naturepedic’s commitment to avoiding chemical adhesives. The combination of these premium organic materials with advanced engineering creates a more sustainable and healthier alternative to conventional pillow top designs.
Does the Concerto sleep cool?
The Concerto demonstrates excellent cooling properties, achieved through its thoughtful layer construction. The effect starts with the breathable organic cotton cover and moisture-wicking wool batting.
Underneath, the dual coil system features both microcoils and main support coils. This creates extensive air channels throughout the mattress, allowing for continuous heat dissipation and preventing the heat retention commonly associated with foam-based mattresses.
Is the Concerto good for side sleeping?
The plush top is particularly well-suited for side sleepers due to its soft, pressure-relieving design. The organic latex comfort layer and microcoil system provide excellent pressure point relief for hips and shoulders, areas that typically experience more pressure during side sleeping.
However, it’s important to note that this mattress might be too soft for those who prefer a firmer feel, even if they are side sleepers.
Can the Concerto help with back pain?
While the Concerto’s plush feel might not be suitable for all types of back pain, its sophisticated support system could help certain individuals.
The combination of individually wrapped support coils and the microcoil layer provides adaptable support that can help maintain proper spinal alignment while still offering pressure relief.
However, because this is a softer mattress, it may not provide enough support for those who need a firmer surface to manage their back pain, particularly back and stomach sleepers.
