MCAS sufferer looking for new mattress

Hello,
I recently purchased a new mattress from another company containing wool, cotton, hemp and flax and upon contact it has caused red, hot and itchy skin which lasts for weeks afterwards. The company does not use any chemicals in the product, so my assumption is that this is potentially caused by the wool activating my MCAS symptoms.
I came across your Vegan mattress and wanted to ask whether you feel this would be suitable for someone with mast cell sensitivity? I don't have any other material allergies that I am aware of, but also believed I would be ok on the previous mattress as all the components were natural, so really want to be as safe as possible with this next purchase. I am ideally looking for a mattress with no / minimal off gassing, for the same reasons.
I would really appreciate any advice you are able to share to guide our next purchase.
Many thanks,
Gemma

To ensure that the Artisan Latex best suits your needs however, it's important to assess both support and comfort levels. Support comes from the internal spring unit, which is tailored to your body weight and height. Comfort, on the other hand, is determined by the upholstery fillings placed above the spring unit, and it varies based on your preferred sleeping positions.
Side sleepers do require cushioning for shoulders and hips whereas a back sleeping would require a comfort level that will keep their spine aligned whereas a front sleeper requires something slightly firmer.
To better understand your specific needs and ensure the Artisan Latex mattress is the right fit for you, we would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this further over the phone. Please give us a call at 0161 437 4419 at your convenience.
Kind regards Julie Collier
