As you might expect, this mattress doesn’t have the typical ‘new mattress’ smell that is typical of innerspring mattresses that use various foams. With that said, the latex smell may be noticeably as you remove the packaging.
The Peace Lily Latex Mattress presents with a distinct ‘natural and earthy’ vibe. This look was no doubt intended, considering Peace Lily’s philosophy around health and environmental sustainability.
Mattress construction
The Peace Lily Latex Mattress includes a number of different parts and materials.
1. Organic Cotton Cover
This cover is designed with comfort and sustainability in mind. It is GOTS certified, 100% organic, with a 350 gram per square metre (gsm) knit cotton cover.
2. Organic Cotton Wadding
Underneath the outer cover is a layer of, 180gsm, GOTS certified, 100% organic cotton wadding. This horizontal quilting has been added for comfort and durability.
3. Medium Layer – 100% Natural Rubber Latex
This 5cm, soft layer of Dunlop latex with D65 density is sustainably sourced in Sri Lanka. It has been certified as non-toxic by the eco-INSTITUT®.
4. Core Layer – 100% Natural Rubber Latex
This core layer of Dunlop latex has a D80 density and is also sustainably sourced in Sri Lanka. It also has the eco-INSTITUT® certification.
5. Firm Layer – 100% Natural Rubber Latex
This 5cm, firm layer of Dunlop latex with D75 density is sustainably sourced in Sri Lanka. It has been certified as non-toxic by the eco-INSTITUT®.
6. Organic Cotton Tape Edge
This cotton tape edge is GOTS certified and is 100% organic. The tape fabric is double stitched to prevent fabric tears.
7. Reinforced Handles
This mattress contains two heavy duty handles on each side. These handles have been added to make transporting and rotating easier.
How does the customisation work?
As mentioned earlier, the Peace Lily Latex Mattress features a firm and a medium version.
Each option can be selected by flipping the mattress over. Due to the heavy and cumbersome properties of latex, we would recommend having two people available to carry out this process.
The Peace Lily Mattress Topper can be bought separately and this can create another (softer) firmness option. This topper comes in a ‘luxury plush’ or ‘firm’ option.
Comfort and support
The organic cotton cover feels soft, cool, and well-ventilated. It should help to maintain sleep temperature in some way.
The firm side of this mattress has a bouncy yet supportive feel. We didn’t detect any signs of sagging and it is reasonably comfortable for a firm version.
This firm variant should suit most back sleepers, but it may also accommodate side sleepers and stomach sleepers. Understandably though, this suitability will vary between individuals.
All of our expert reviewers agreed that this firm version has a ‘firm’ feel. By majority vote, we settled on a 7 / 10 on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest).
Firm side
Please note that our firmness ratings are just a guide and they do not necessarily relate to comfort.
Furthermore, our firmness ratings are assigned based on Bedbuyer’s testing process and these may differ from firmness ratings given by individual companies. Mattress firmness will also vary depending on the type of bed base used.
We tested the Peace Lily Latex Mattress on the Chiropedic Bed Base which is a good quality bed base with solid slats.
As you might expect, the medium side feels softer and more comfortable than the firm side. It has more pressure relief than the firm version, but spinal support is still excellent in all sleeping positions.
As with the firm side, the medium side feels well balanced and isn’t excessively bouncy like some other latex mattresses that we have tested. This medium version should all sleeping positions (back sleepers, side sleepers, and stomach sleepers) but understandably its suitability will vary between individuals.
All of our expert reviewers agreed that this medium version has a ‘medium’ feel. By majority vote, we settled on a 6 / 10 on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest).
Medium side
The addition of the optional Peace Lily Mattress Topper (pictured below) adds a soft and comfortable layer to this mattress. As this topper is available in a luxury plush or a firm option, there are several more firmness arrangements that can be created.
When the ‘luxury plush’ topper is placed on the medium side, this should suit most side sleepers, but it may also suit back sleepers and stomach sleepers.
Our team rated this configuration as a ‘medium-soft’ feel and a 4 / 10 on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest). Again, please note that our firmness ratings are just a guide and they do not necessarily relate to comfort.
Luxury Plush Topper (on medium side)
When the ‘luxury plush’ topper is placed on the firm side of the mattress, this should suit all sleeping positions (side sleepers, back sleepers, and stomach sleepers).
Our team rated this configuration as a ‘medium’ feel and a 5.5 / 10 on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest).
Luxury Plush Topper (on firm side)
When the ‘firm’ topper is placed on the medium side, this should suit all sleeping positions as well (side sleepers, back sleepers, and stomach sleepers).
Our team rated this configuration as a ‘medium-firm’ feel and a 7 / 10 on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest).
Firm Topper (on medium side)
When the ‘firm’ topper is placed on the firm side, this should also suit all sleeping positions (side sleepers, back sleepers, and stomach sleepers).
Our team rated this configuration as a ‘medium-firm’ feel and a 7.5 / 10 on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest).
Firm Topper (on firm side)
As you can see, the Peace Lily Latex Mattress offers plenty of versatility, especially with the Peace Lily Mattress Topper.
All versions of the Peace Lily Latex Mattress respond fairly well to normal sleep movements and we rated its level of responsiveness in the ‘optimal’ zone. In basic terms, this means that changing sleep positions (and intimate activities) shouldn’t be any trouble.
Please note that our responsiveness scales are just a guide and preferred responsiveness levels will vary between individuals. It’s worth noting also that innerspring mattresses are generally more responsive than foam mattresses.
The finer details
As with most full latex mattresses, the Peace Lily Latex Mattress is quite heavy and difficult to manoeuvre.
Having said that, the mattress has two strong handles on each side to help with any flipping or rotating – a good example of Peace Lily’s attention to quality and detail.
The Peace Lily Latex Mattress comes with a market leading 25 year warranty.
The Peace Lily Latex Mattress appears to be durable and of high quality. Even though it has a relatively low height (22 cm), edge support is good for a non-innerspring mattress. It is worth noting that the topper will increase the mattress height to about 27 cm.
This mattress is well certified as non-toxic and holds the OEKO-TEX® and GOTS certifications. The latex used in the Peace Lily Latex Mattress is listed as ‘100% natural Dunlop latex’ which is tree-tapped from sustainable sources.
What bed base should I use?
As with most mattresses, we recommend the Peace Lily Latex Mattress to be used on a bed base with flat panel slats such as the Koala Paddington Bed Base.
A bed base with solid slats (with slats no longer than 8 cm apart) such as the Chiropedic Bed Base, would also be very suitable.
We would advise against using a bed base with flexible (posture) slats as this type of base may not provide adequate support. Ultimately, the use of an unsupportive mattress foundation may void the mattress warranty.
The Peace Lily Latex Mattress can used with an adjustable (electric) bed base such as the Peace Lily Adjustable Bed. Here is our full list of mattresses that are compatible with an adjustable bed base.
It’s worth noting here that mattress firmness, performance, and durability will vary with different bed bases.
Trial period and warranty
The Peace Lily Latex Mattress comes with a 100 night trial period, which is a typical trial period in the online mattress market. This means that you can return the mattress for a refund if you are not satisfied (conditions do apply).
This mattress also comes with a market leading 25 year warranty, a strong indication of Peace Lily’s confidence in its quality and durability. This warranty period is superior to the more common warranty period of 10 years.
Available sizes
The Peace Lily Latex Mattress is available in 6 sizes (king, queen, double, king single, long single, and single size) so it should accommodate most sleeping arrangements.
Here are Australia’s standard bed (mattress) sizes in 2024.
Final verdict
With all things considered, the Peace Lily Latex Mattress is a very nice mattress. It is comfortable, versatile, and its non-toxic certifications will appeal to many.

Certifications
OEKO-TEX® Certified : 100% natural Dunlop latex from tree-tapped and sustainable sources (Certificate Number: 11-31475)
GOTS Certified Cotton
Our natural mattress features 100% natural latex rubber, GOTS certified 100% organic cotton fabric and wadding, and adjustable firmness (medium or firm) when you flip the mattress. Contains 3 premium layers: no polyurethane foams or harmful materials are used.
Our products are handmade in our fully owned fabrication factory where we take care to produce the highest quality, most natural and luxurious products possible. The Peace Lily Latex Mattress is made with eco-INSTITUT and Oeko-Tex Class 1 certified, 100% natural Dunlop latex from tree-tapped and sustainable sources; GOTS certified organic cotton fabric and organic cotton wadding. These are the world’s leading independent emissions and material testing bodies, meaning our mattress meets some of the most rigorous natural standards.
Our non-toxic mattress contains only natural latex from Sri Lanka which provides some of the highest quality latex in the world… No synthetic latex, and no usage of common polyurethane and memory foams which can cause off-gassing. Natural latex is a natural resource with physical performance properties that far surpass memory foam and synthetic latex, providing the finest in natural cushioning together with perfect back support and extended durability. We even use natural latex glue to keep our 3 mattress layers together!
Natural Latex Rubber
Peace Lily mattresses feature 100% natural Dunlop latex rubber foam, made from sustainably harvested sources. It’s an eco-friendly, high-performance material, offering resilience, durability, and temperature control that far exceeds synthetic, blended or petroleum-based polyurethane foams.
Natural Latex Glue
In order to keep our whole mattress natural and chemical free; we use natural latex to create a unique latex glue that is not only adhesive, but also chemical free. All 3 premium mattress layers in the Peace Lily Latex Mattress are kept together with this strong glue, making it one of the most natural mattresses in the world.
Certified Organic Cotton
Our luxurious, handmade mattress covers are made with premium, certified organic cotton — one of the softest, most breathable and most comfortable fabrics available. It’s cool, wicks moisture and, better still, boasts the most stringent Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) Certification.
Optional Peace Lily Mattress Topper
For a luxury-plush feel, you can upgrade your mattress with a plush mattress topper, filled with an additional 5cm layer of 100% natural Dunlop latex rubber foam. Made to provide extra pressure relief and to give you a softer, more cloud-like comfort. At 27cm thickness, it’s ideal for side and back sleepers, athletes, and those wanting a more luxurious feel. If you feel pains and stress from firm mattresses, this is a match made in heaven.
Latex vs. Memory Foam
Latex is the future of healthy sleep.
More natural than its competitor, memory foam, our natural latex is made using only clean rubber sap that has been washed in fresh river water. In truth, memory foam is made to be warm; it is often used as insulation due to its heat-retaining abilities and uses your body heat to activate it’s compression capabilities. Whereas our latex has hundreds of pin holes to allow for easy airflow and cool sleeping. On average latex mattresses have 3-5 times less returns than memory foam mattresses. Latex has a 1-2% return rate compared to a 5-6% return rate with memory foam mattresses!
3 Firmness Levels
We have engineered the Peace Lily Latex Mattress so that there are 2 carefully selected firmness levels on the mattress for you to choose from. These firmness levels have been designed to suit your comfort preference no matter who you are. Just flip your mattress.
On the top side of the mattress there is a gentle medium comfort level (M symbol), and the bottom side has a firm comfort level (F symbol). The gentle medium is most suited for side sleepers, and the firm is most suited to back sleepers. Take your pick.
For a luxury-plush feel, you can upgrade your Peace Lily Latex Mattress with a plush mattress topper, filled with an additional 5cm layer of 100% natural Dunlop latex rubber foam which the most customers prefer.
Heavy Duty Handles
Two upholstered handles adorn both side panels of the mattress, hand-sewn for a tight fit. (Many foam mattresses don’t even have handles.) Our handles will help you manage the movement of your latex mattress with greater ease. This makes swapping firmness levels hassle-free when flipping your Peace Lily Latex Mattress.
Our aim was to make sure that our natural mattress provided the most luxurious comfort possible, by using the most perfect natural latex foam and comfiest organic fabric available. After many months of intense research and development, we were able to create a product that combined the highest performance, texture and aesthetic standards into one product. Our aim has been achieved and now you can sleep on your Peace Lily Latex Mattress knowing that you are spending a third of your life on the most natural, comfortable mattress possible.
Our manufacturer’s latex is certified by the eco-INSTITUT in Cologne, Germany, to be free from volatile organic compounds (VOCs), persistent organic compounds, heavy metals, pesticides, formaldehyde and phthalates. Our fabric cover uses Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified cotton. And there are NO petroleum-based polyurethane foams, NO memory foams, NO chemical adhesives between the comfort layers, NO chemical fire retardants and NO ozone-depleting substances used.
Build for Durability
Every Peace Lily Latex Mattress has received an LGA Certification. The LGA Certification is administered in Cologne, Germany, and tests the functional performance for domestic use of a mattress. The test is conducted by putting 150 kg of force on the mattress and stroking the mattress 60,000 times. This test is meant to simulate, more than adequately, the normal domestic usage of a mattress. The passing grade for this certification is 50/100, and our Peace Lily Latex Mattress has proven it’s quality and resilience by achieving a score of 99 points out of 100!
We use Dunlop latex in our mattresses because it is more eco-friendly than Talalay latex, which requires more processing. Our Dunlop latex is sourced from some of the world’s most eco-friendly and sustainable sources in Sri Lanka, and is eco-INSTITUT® certified (tested for hazardous materials and substances) by our latex manufacturer. Dunlop latex is naturally antimicrobial, cooler than memory foam, and also more durable than Talalay latex.
On our standard Peace Lily Latex Mattress, we use three seamless layers of Dunlop latex — 5cm in the top comfort layer (gentle medium), a 10cm layer in the middle as a support core (base), and 5cm in the bottom comfort layer (firm). On the Peace Lily Latex Mattress with the optional mattress topper, you get superior soft comfort with an additional 5cm of soft latex thickness onto the top comfort layer (luxury plush), and the option to remove this at any required time.
No blended or synthetic latex is used, there are no chemical fire retardants in any component of the latex cores, only 100% natural latex.
In order to keep our whole mattress natural and chemical free; we use eco-INSTITUT® certified natural latex to create a unique latex glue. This latex glue is very adhesive and passes the test of time, while remaining natural and free of harmful chemicals. It is comprised of the same compounds used within our natural latex core layers, with rubber sap being the primary component.
All 3 premium mattress layers in the Peace Lily Latex Mattress are kept together with this strong glue, making it one of the most natural mattresses in the world. There are no chemical adhesives used between any of the comfort layers.
For a luxurious and premium finish, we use a breathable organic cotton / poly-blend with high density threading in a soft, natural colour. The surface fabric is 100% organic cotton keeping you directly in touch with only organic cotton fabric and the backing layer is polyester to maintain durability of the fabric. The fabric has been selected with a special request to remove any chemical bleaches, washes, dyes or patterns which are normally present in all mattress fabrics. This organic cotton fabric is GOTS-certified (the most stringent organic textile certification) by our supplier and provides 2cm in thickness to the Peace Lily Latex Mattress.
The mattress includes hand-stitched tape edges (double stitched) to prevent tearing at the fabric corners and heavy-duty reinforced handles to ensure that the mobility of the mattress is much more manageable.
We use 100% organic cotton wadding to quilt together with our organic cotton fabric in order to give a luxury quilted cover for best comfort and extended durability. The organic cotton wadding is not chemically treated and chemicals are not used during the processing, leaving a natural creamy colour. This organic cotton wadding is GOTS-certified (the most stringent organic textile certification) and we receive transaction certificates for all of our material from our supplier.
The majority of quilted fabrics use polyester wadding together with their fabric, and as such our 100% organic cotton wadding in comparison offers the real luxury experience. We proudly source only the highest quality materials available and are confident you will feel this in your natural sleep experience. This material is perfectly suited for a natural mattress and allows for luxury comfort and breathability – the best of both worlds.
