Serious allergy to horsehair - mattress questions

Hi Jean,

Thanks for your question.

We would suggest that before embarking on the purchase of a mattress, you should consult an allergy expert as the comment that it is the oils that cause the allergy has been made by an unqualified individual. It would always be safer to seek expert advice in this case.

If you require a mattress with natural fillings without the horsehair this would be the Artisan Naturals. This is constructed with 85% natural fillings, the construction of which is broken down below; Wool/Cotton, Polycotton and Mohair.

This mattress very much has a true medium feel in the top layers providing a slight sink but not too much. We would need to know your body weights in order to discuss suitability;

Similarly, it could be that you need to look at somewhere like Allersafe online to purchase a mattress encasement. A mattress encasement zips all the way around the mattress and protects against allergies but definitely speak to an allergy expert first.

I hope this has answered your questions fully.

Kind Regards, Lee.
