Beautiful, Healthy, and The Best Way to Sleep! We love our new mattress and our bodies adjusted back to Normal after sleeping on an old mattress (old coil spring mattress with 12" pillow top, a boat load of chemicals, and sagging in the middle of the bed), so now our backs are straight and we sleep better. We went for the firmest mattress and then added a little 1" organic topper and it is the perfect setup. We are very happy with our new mattress--knowing it will out last the other mattresses on the market and doesn't have all the crazy chemicals. The Team of people at White Lotus Home are amazing and are doing amazing things for people and the Earth. "Thank you all, at White Lotus Home!"
Green Cotton & Wool Boulder Dreamton Mattress Review!!
Great company with very quick response to inquiries! I cannot stress enough how important it is to sleep without chemicals. I love my bed so much! I bought an organic bed because I was suffering from sleep apnea. I would stop breathing in the middle of the night and wake up violently! Going organic (mix of latex, wool, and organic cotton) has stopped my sleep issues completely. It even brings me deeper sleep and more complex dreams.

TL;DR: Don't buy a futon mattress for sleeping here (and maybe not anywhere). Great customer service.
In Burlington, VT we are lucky enough to have a retailer in town so I can try all the White Lotus Home Products. My favorites are the kapok pillows and the wool wrapped latex mattress. Kapok is so soft and silky! It's a very special tree that produces an amazing fiber. I am waiting for some new guest cots to arrive that will be going into a DIY pull out couch. So excited!
I'm starting to wonder if I've done any long-term damage to my body by sleeping on a slight angle and using my joints and muscles to compensate, or to my mind by compromising a good night's rest so many times. I'm finally throwing in the towel; I hope I can spare someone else the same misery.
I really wanted to love my White Lotus mattress, but after three years, it's just not cutting it, and I'm at my wit's end.
Per the recommendation of the owner below, I reached out to White Lotus customer service. I had initially tried to reach them through an outdated contact form, which is why I resorted to posting this review, but I was able to get in touch with their team immediately through the email addresses below. They had me send pictures of the mattress to evaluate whether the dips were due to a manufacturing defect, or simply normal wear and tear of the mattress. They decided it was not a defect, and encouraged me to "beat" the mattress, stand on its side, and perform other vigorous maintenance activities to awaken the fibers and correct the dip. Despite the excellent workout I got from these activities, the dips remained.
(see below for update)
In fairness, it was very comfortable and supportive for the first 6-9 months I slept on it. However, it soon began to develop a dip in the middle from my most common sleeping position and became increasingly uncomfortable to sleep on.
Sincerely,
Despite the fact I maintained perfect care of this mattress as directed - sitting on top of a wooden slatted platform, flipping and rotating regularly, and avoiding any moisture or damage, the problem persists. I even tried intentionally trying to sleep closer to the edge of the bed, and shifting it slightly on the platform; I've also been sleeping with a partner for the last 6 months or so, and the dip is only bigger and deeper. He wakes up with back pain and I wake up with incredibly tight hips.
White Lotus IS an affordable clean bedding option, and this mattress (the Dreamton) did provide me with great sleep for a little while. I think we will repurpose it into a futon for sitting only, for which it will be comfortable in short bursts, but this mattress is simply not built for long-term overnight comfort.
White Lotus is a fair and honest company, and they demonstrated care and concern in my resolution process. While I would not recommend their futon-style mattresses for nightly sleeping, they are perfectly comfortable for sitting on. I can't speak to the quality of their other products, but I imagine they are reputable if the company stands behind what they make so consistently.

We bought our futon from here. They make it to order, and it's all constructed in America. They stuffed the mattress with organic stuffing and provided a very solidly built frame. They also have a wide variety of mattress and pillow coverings. It costs a little extra, but good furniture is always worth it. since it lasts.
Extremely diasapointed in the entire process of ordering frim this company
White Lotus Home
After going back and forth exploring several options, we came to a resolution that I am happy with. In full honesty, I have ordered a new mattress from another supplier, but hope to repurpose this one as I mentioned above.
