These oils, regardless of origin, form the organic compound \u003cem\u003epolyurethane \u003c\/em\u003e--- it's an umbrella term that describes the chemical compound, not the source. While most conventional oils will use damaging petroleum as their base, our Evergreen Foam will only use soy, castor, and other vegetable oils. To process the liquid oil into a foam product, \u003cem\u003epolyols\u003c\/em\u003e are added; polyol is sugar-based alcohol derived from castor and vegetable oils that burns off in the manufacturing process. In short, even though foam is a man-made product, all components of our Evergreen Foam are naturally derived from plant-based oils. It's as natural as foam can come! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can think of the process much like baking a whisky cake: the batter starts out as a liquid, but baking chemically transforms the mixture from liquid to solid, while the alcohol burns off almost entirely.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf a customer is looking for the most natural product possible, we would recommend mattresses and bedding made from raw fibers such as cotton, kapok, and wool: these are unprocessed and close to their natural source. However, we do try to offer foam cores for comfort, budgetary, and sensitivity reasons. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI've attached a letter from the foam manufacturer. You will find page 10 most relevant, as it provides certification that the product is created without fire retardants, formaldehyde, nickle, mercury, parabens, and other hazardous materials.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoam Density: 35 ILD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight Density: 1.8 LBS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSleeping on Our Green Cotton and Evergreen Foam Futon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Green Cotton and Evergreen Foam Futon is one without springs, and as such won’t transfer motion between sleepers. We recommend putting it on a box spring set or platform bed, or even using it as a floor bed. A slatted bed frame is recommended for air circulation and the slats should be at least 2.5\" wide and no more than 2\" apart from each other.  When the slats are more than 2\" apart, that may affect the longevity and comfort of your mattress. Soft yet supportive, our Green Cotton and Evergreen Foam mattress is unlike any you’ve ever slept on, and we know you’re going to love it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: This mattress requires a prescription from a licensed physician for purchase.
