Animal cruelty and mattresses

Mark asked

26th December 2014

Hi, we are looking for a medium to soft mattress which does not involve any animal cruelty, in other words, vegan. We have read about the Essentia brand and wonder if there is anything available like this or of more traditional sprung design that would be suitable for us?

kind regards, Mark >

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your question.

We often get asked for Vegetarian and Vegan mattresses at John Ryan By Design for people that don’t want any animal products or fibres in their mattresses. We have a range of mattresses that are suitable for Vegan and vegetarians such as our Origins Reflex, Hybrid foam range or Fusion 100% natural latex range.

We do always state that a 100% certified vegetarian or vegan mattress is somewhat difficult to guarantee as even synthetic products are sometimes in contact with animal products during the manufacturing process, something we closely monitor when we hand make our mattresses. However, it is nearly impossible to ensure that the synthetic materials haven’t for example been stored next to wool at the supplier or during transport. It’s also hard to pinpoint every chemical or synthetic component especially in things like resin which may be made of over 50 chemicals during manufacturing.
