3. Coir Mattress

Coir Mattress
Coir Mattress

It is an Indian innovation. This mattress is manufactured by processing coconut coir fiber with latex solution and is the most eco-friendly of all the mattresses available in the market.

Pros

The coir mattress has a very firm base and is thus comfortable. It’s economical and does not exhibit motion transfer.

Cons

The firmness can cause discomfort and pain as it is very hard and rigid. So, we strictly suggest not to go for coir mattress if you have back pain. These mattresses do not last very long, As coir does not have elasticity, the mattresses do not spring back to shape and tend to sag as the coir gets pressed. Thus, they do not last as long as other mattresses do.
