Coir Bed Rugs
Coir (pronounced "kwar") is an amazing natural fiber used for centuries overseas for bedding. It is made from the husks
of coconuts. Rubberized coir, the type we sell, has a coating of natural rubber latex to help augment its natural properties and to
hold it together in one-inch-thick mats. Coir is especially great for bedding because it is endowed with these valuable properties:
- It has natural breathability and promotes ventilation
- It is lightweight and flexible
- The surface is always dry. Moisture is driven away and evaporated quickly
- It does not harbor dust mites or other allergens
- It does not breed harmful bacteria
- The latex coating increases its elasticity and water repellency
- It is washable
- It is heat resistant
- It is a natural insulator
- resistant to damage by saltwater (or perspiration)
We promote its use in several ways. First, it is used inside one of our organic mattresses called the Earthspring. The Earthspring uses coir where other mattresses use cotton batting. Cotton batting retains moisture, provides little or no ventilation, and so is a haven for dust mites and other allergens.
We promote coir as a layer of ventilation when customers wish to keep their mattress directly on a solid surface like plywood, flooring, or other substrates that do not provide adequate ventilation.
We also recommend coir as a way to reduce the firmness of futon-style mattresses. It can be placed underneath a very firm mattress to provide extra cushion.
Our coir is made of one-inch-thick layers. In some situations, two layers may be suggested.
