Why Build a DIY Mattress?

If you are shopping for a new mattress before moving into your new house this summer, or if you are simply tired of the "one-size-fits-all" approach of traditional mattress stores, a DIY mattress is the smartest investment you can make.

At BioBeds Plus, we believe that building your own organic mattress is one of the most empowering, sustainable, and cost-effective decisions you can make for your sleep health. Not only does it save you time and money, but it also allows you to completely customize your comfort. You choose the best configuration for your body. You can switch your Natural Latex around to convert to a softer mattress or firmer as your preferences change.

Whether you are in Toronto, Ottawa, Mississauga, or anywhere across Ontario, we provide the premium components you need. Plus, we offer Free Shipping Canada-wide so you can start your project no matter where you live.

The "Start Small" Strategy: The 3-Inch Topper

Latex mattress shopping can be intimidating. Why not get started with a 3-inch thick topper and move up to an 8-inch mattress later?

The best entry point into the world of organic sleep is our 3-inch thick Dunlop Latex layer. You can buy this single layer first, add a layer or two later, and take your time to consider whether you should go with Natural Latex or Organic Latex.

DIY Mattress saves time and money. By buying components when they are on sale, you can build your dream bed gradually. If there is a sale on a 3-inch thick Latex Topper, buy this first. Use it with a sheet and without a mattress cover to start. Once you have had time to decide on Organic or Natural, look for a sale for another 3-inch topper or 2-inch transition layer.

Advanced Configuration: Adding Sleep & Beyond

For those looking to elevate their DIY build from "comfortable" to "luxurious," integrating premium wool and latex accessories from Sleep & Beyond is the secret ingredient.

Are you wondering if there is a way to use a couple of DIY 3-inch layers of Dunlop or Talalay, topped off with a MyWooly 3-inch Latex and Wool Topper? Absolutely. In fact, that is one of the most comfortable configurations available.

Here is how to layer your DIY mattress for the perfect balance of support and pressure relief:

1. The Support Core (Base)

Start with a firm foundation. We recommend a 3-inch Firm Dunlop Latex layer as your base. Dunlop is denser and provides a grounded, supportive feel that prevents you from sinking too far.

2. The Transition Layer (Middle)

Next, add a 3-inch Medium Dunlop or Talalay Latex layer. This acts as a bridge between the firm base and the plush top, ensuring your spine stays aligned while easing the transition.

3. The Comfort Layer (Top)

This is where the magic happens. Top off your latex stack with the MyWooly 3-Inch Latex and Wool Topper. This unique topper combines the responsive support of latex with the breathable, temperature-regulating properties of wool. The wool fleece provides a cloud-like softness that pure latex sometimes lacks, while the latex core ensures you don't lose support.

4. The Finishing Touch: The MyDual Pad

To protect your investment and add a final layer of customizable comfort, add the MyDual Pad by Sleep & Beyond. This reversible pad is a game-changer for Canadian seasons:

• Side 1 (Winter): 100% natural fine washable wool fleece. The fleece side is chosen as the ideal sleeping surface during colder seasons because it is warmer and incredibly cozy.
• Side 2 (Summer): 100% natural cotton percale. This side provides a cooler, crisper feel for the warmer months.

The MyDual Pad eliminates the overheating and night sweats common with synthetic fills and foam, making it the perfect partner for your DIY latex mattress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you ship latex mattress toppers to Ontario?

Yes! We offer free shipping across Ontario and Canada-wide. Whether you need a 3-inch Dunlop topper in Toronto or a full DIY kit in Ottawa, we deliver to your door.

Can I mix Dunlop and Talalay?

Absolutely. A common and highly recommended build is a Dunlop base (for durability) and a Talalay top (for pressure relief). Our customers often use a firm Dunlop base, a medium transition, and then top it with our MyWooly or a soft Talalay layer.

How do I clean my Sleep & Beyond MyDual Pad?

The MyDual Pad is easy care. You can machine wash it in cold water and dry it on low heat or air dry.

Is a DIY mattress cheaper than a pre-built one?

Yes, typically. By buying components when they are on sale and assembling them yourself, you can often save 30–50% compared to a pre-built organic mattress of similar quality.
