How does Essentia Compare to Other Premium Brand Memory Foam Mattresses?
Essentia Outperforms Even the Best Synthetic Memory Foam Mattress Brands
As you can see from the grid below, Essentia outperforms even the best regular memory foam brands in all respects.
For the price of a good quality synthetic memory foam mattress you get an Essentia natural memory foam mattress that's far more breathable, has no chemical offgassing or odour, doesn't contain toxic glue and outperforms regular brands in terms of comfort and pressure distribution.
Essentia and Tempur-Pedic are the only mattress companies that manufacturer their own memory foam. Other mattress brands purchase foam from conventional foam manufacturers.
| Description | Other Premium brands | Essentia | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Memory foam formula | Materials used in foam composition | Petrochemical formula | Natural based formula (no chemical offgassing) |
| Breathability | Most foams are synthetic and as such have limited breathability. | Traps air in causing discomfort. (#1 most common memory foam complaint) | As the only petroleum free memory foam, Essentia foam is 80% more breathable. |
| Adhesives | Adhesives used to glue mattress layers together. | Layered together with glues | No toxic adhesives used, some models individually moulded. |
| Durability | LBS / cubic feet determines how long the foam will last without losing support. 5 lb foam or higher last 15+ years. However a mattress is only as good as its core. If it's core only last 10 years what good is it to have the top layers last 30 years? |
Up to 5 - 7 LBS / cubic feet | 5 - 6.25 LBS / cubic feet |
| Performance under pressure | 32mmHg or lower is considered to be pressure relieving according to the healthcare industry. | Inconsistent - Varies between 15-28 mmHg. Why? See below. | Consistent -12.25 mmHg |
| Recovery time | The time it takes the foam to conform to your body. | Minutes, making it difficult to move (#2 most common memory foam complaint) | Seconds
|
| Temperature performance | Memory foam is both room and body temperature sensitive. | Heat Sensitive. Ideal performance 64F (18C) to 75F (24C) | Consistent performance from 33F (1C) to 86F (30C) |
* Inconsistencies in other premium (synthetic) memory (visco) foam mmHG are a common complaint. People often say "the one in the store felt different". This is because regular synthetic memory foam brands make their foam in large 24-30 inch thick blocks and then slice it. Top layers feel different than bottom and middle layers.

No-Name Mattress Brand Comparison
“Me Too” memory foam mattress retailers may buy from different suppliers but it all derives from the same manufacturers. Since most memory foams are close to identical, retailers distinguish themselves with price and marketing verbiage.
Ask any No-Name mattress company to answer the questions in our grid above and they'll fall short as well.
Greenwashing is everwhere with companies claiming to have eco memory foam, plant based memory foam or soy memory foam. Strong chemical odors or offgassing and sleeping hot remain major issues because only 2-20% of the toxic chemicals are replaced with natural ingredients.
