How is Eco Terra Different?

The Eco Terra is an 11.00″ latex hybrid mattress with an overall performance level that is below average, but with a price that is also significantly below the average latex hybrid. The result is a lower performance, but also more affordable natural mattress.

Advantages

Aside from the low price, other advantages of the Eco Terra include better cooling, faster material response time, and better sex score. Another big advantage of the Eco Terra is the sheer number of organic certifications, given the low price tag.

This mattress is GOTS, GOLS, and Oeko-Tex certified. At this price, it’s pretty uncommon to find a latex hybrid with this many reputable organic certifications.

Neutral Factors

The Eco Terra mattress has moderate sinkage and high levels of bounce. There is also a more generalized contour on the Eco Terra, due to the natural contour of latex. The reality is that some sleepers will love this while others will hate it.

All of these factors are considered “neutral” since different sleepers will have different preferences in these areas. These factors don’t really make a mattress “good” or “bad”, but depending on what you’re looking for, the factors certainly come into play.

Disadvantages

Strong disadvantages for the Eco Terra mattress include higher levels of motion transfer and weaker edge support. For couples or sleepers who find themselves often sleeping on the edge, this could be a larger issue to consider.

In addition, this mattress has a strong smell when it arrives and it took a long time for that smell to go away (28 days).

The Eco Terra has excellent cooling. During our tests, I did not feel any significant level of heat retention around my body.

This mattress uses a simple but proven design with a 2.0” layer of latex sitting atop a 9.0” pocketed coil unit. The latex naturally resists heat retention, while the layer of coils brings plenty of airflow into the mattress.

• Baseline Temperature – the temperature of the mattress before anyone lies on it
• Maximum Temperature (0 minute) – the temperature of the mattress after lying on it for 15 minutes
• Ending Temperature (5 minute) – the temperature of the mattress after being lied upon and having no one on it for 5 minutes

In addition, having a more limited 2.0” comfort layer means there is less material in which heat can be easily retained. While that thinner comfort layer isn’t great for pressure relief, it is beneficial for cooling.

Lastly, the organic cotton cover seems to breathe reasonably well, further facilitating cooling performance.

In our objective temperature tests, we measured a max surface level temperature of 91.2° F. This is 1.0° warmer than the average of 90.2° F, based on all of our tests to date.

After getting off the mattress, the temperature declined by 4.4 degrees from minutes 0 to 1, which is 0.4 degrees less cool than the average 0 to 1 minute decline of 4.8 degrees.

When we consider the combination of objective data, my subjective experiences, and an analysis of the materials, I’m confident in my view that cooling is excellent.

The Eco Terra has moderate sinkage. During our tests, we measured a pressure point sinkage depth of 2.19″. This is 0.07″ less sinkage than the average sinkage depth of 2.26″, based on all of our tests to date.

The mattress creates a more restrained body contouring hug. This is a product of the latex comfort layer.

The level of sinkage is documented in the image below.

Latex creates a more generalized circular depression around the body. This is in contrast to memory foam and many types of poly foam, which create a more exacting and dramatic body contouring hug.

Neither feel is good or bad, but they are a specific feel. The latex hybrid sinkage and body-hugging dynamic is more restrained, generalized, and highly responsive.

The Eco Terra has a high level of motion transfer. During our tests, we measured a total acceleration range of 12.79 m/s². This is 46% more motion transfer than the average of 8.78 m/s².

Latex hybrid mattresses typically have higher motion transfer and that’s exactly what we measured here.

The combination of a thinner-than-average 2.0” comfort layer, tall 9.0” coil unit, notably higher-than-average level of bounce, and highly resilient latex and coil unit set the stage for lots of motion transfer.

The level of motion transfer is also documented in the video below.

In our motion transfer chart, which visualizes our accelerometer data, we can see the highest motion peaks from 0 to 0.25 seconds. Motion declines thereafter, but we then see a significant secondary energy spike from 0.6 to 0.7 seconds.

By 1.28 seconds, we’ve returned to near-zero levels of energy, which is 0.38 seconds longer than the average motion duration of 0.90 seconds.

Both motion duration and motion intensity are considerably worse than average. As a result, the total motion transfer experience simply isn’t great. To be fair, this isn’t a problem with Eco Terra specifically, but rather most latex hybrid mattresses.

If you want a latex hybrid, you should be prepared to deal with higher motion transfer.

The Eco Terra has an extremely fast material response.

In our mostly recovered test, we measured a recovery speed of 0.2 seconds, which is 0.22 seconds faster than the average of 0.42 seconds, based on all of our tests to date.

In our fully recovered responsiveness test, we measured a recovery speed of 0.3 seconds, which is 0.73 seconds faster than the average of 1.03 seconds.

The level of responsiveness is documented in the video below.

These are effectively instant material recovery speeds. Eco Terra is tied for 1st with the fastest responsiveness mattresses we’ve tested to date.

The extremely fast material recovery speed means the mattress is easy to move around on; you’ll never feel stuck, and it’s easy to get in and out of bed.

The Eco Terra has a high level of bounce. During our tests, we measured a total bounce height of 10.92″. This is 2.23″ more bounce than the average of 8.69″, based on all of our tests to date.

The higher level of bounce is the result of the thinner-than-average 2.0” comfort layer and latex hybrid design. Both latex and coils are highly responsive, springy, and resilient materials.

They recover back to their original shapes quickly, as shown in the responsiveness tests, and are able to deliver a notably higher than average level of bounce.

The level of bounce is also documented in the video below.

That extra bounce is the most significant reason that motion transfer is worse than average.

That said, the extra bounce also means sex performance and ease of movement are greatly enhanced, so there are pros and cons to consider here.

The Eco Terra has good sitting edge support and fair lying edge support.

In our sitting edge support test, we measured a sitting sinkage compression of 4.50″. This is 0.66″ more sitting sinkage than the average of 3.84″, based on all of our tests to date.

The level of edge support while seated is documented in the images below.

While lying directly on the edge of the mattress, I felt that the support was fair in all sleeping positions. Notably, this mattress is equipped with reinforced edge support coils.

Seemingly, those coils run along the entire perimeter. The coils use a 13.5-gauge wire and a more narrow coil diameter design.

The level of edge support while lying is documented in the images below.

Certainly, the reinforced edge coils are helping to improve edge support. Nevertheless, they alone just aren’t able to deliver especially great edge support overall.

As with motion transfer, less-than-great edge support isn’t an exclusive problem with Eco Terra, but rather a challenge that many latex hybrid mattresses have.

All that to say, if you want to go with a latex hybrid, especially a more budget-friendly latex hybrid, you should be prepared for edge support to be lacking.

The Eco Terra has good sex performance. On the positive side, cooling is excellent, and bounce is very high. In our bounce tests, we measured a 10.92” of total bounce height.

This is notably more bounce than average. When it comes to sex, more bounce is almost always better. The extra bounce makes sex easier, less tiring, less strenuous, and more fun.

Moving on with good, but not scores, we have moderate noise from the coil unit, and good pressure relief and edge support.

Sex Factor	Factor Weight	Score	Rating
Bounce	65%	9.3	Very High
Edge Support	20%	8.1	Good
Noise	5%	8.0	Moderate
Pressure Relief	5%	8.0	Good
Cooling	5%	9.0	Excellent

In our sitting edge support test, we measured a sitting sinkage compression of 4.50”. This is notably worse than average and means the edge of the mattress just isn’t as robust and supportive as we’d like to see it.

That weaker edge means that you simply have less usable surface area on the mattress for amorous activities.

The Eco Terra has a good level of pressure relief. During our tests, I felt no significant pressure points on my body.

That said, it’s also clear that the pressure relief performance doesn’t rise to the excellent or outstanding level.

The mattress is equipped with 2.0″ of comfort material, which is 2.32″ less comfort material than the average comfort layer thickness of 4.32″, based on all of our tests to date.

The quality of the latex seems fine, though I absolutely wish there was more of it. With only 2.0” of latex and a fairly thin wool quilted cover, there’s just not a ton of material between sleepers and coil unit.

The moderate sinkage depth means you’re sinking at a decent level, therefore making greater contact with the coil unit. All things considered, the Eco Terra has a typical latex hybrid feel.

It has got a more generalized body contouring hug, a more relaxed feel, but it’s also highly responsive. That feel is neither good nor bad, but I do think it’s more polarizing. Some sleepers love it, and some really don’t.

As with many other performance areas on this mattress, it’s not an issue exclusive to Eco Terra, but rather to all latex hybrids. You’ll want to be sure your body is compatible with that type of comfort dynamic in order to enjoy the feel of this mattress.

Pressure Relief (PSI)	Average	Maximum
Side Sleepers	0.10	0.52

Pressure Relief (PSI)	Average	Maximum
Back Sleepers	0.06	0.44

Pressure Relief (PSI)	Average	Maximum
Stomach Sleepers	0.06	0.48

Lastly, in our objective pressure mapping tests, we measured a max PSI of 0.52, which is well within the 1.0 PSI threshold we ideally want to see.

When I consider our objective pressure mapping tests, material thickness, material quality, and my subjective experience on the mattress, I’m confident most sleepers will find the pressure relief to be good.

The Eco Terra had a strong smell upon the initial unboxing. The mattress smelled for 28 days. This is 20.6 days longer than the average smell duration of 7.4 days.

Eco Terra mattresses come with a 90-night trial period and a 15-year warranty. Shipping and returns are both free.

Company Factor	Factor Weight	Score	Data
Returns	40%	10	$0
Trial Period	30%	6.0	90 nights
Warranty	20%	8.0	15 years
Shipping	10%	10	$0
Country of Origin	0%		USA

Comparing 116+ brands tested to date, the average trial period is 183 nights, 93 nights more than Eco Terra offers. The 15-year warranty is 2 years longer than the 13-year average warranty. Of course, this does exclude 42% of mattresses that offer lifetime warranties.

The Eco Terra mattress comes in two firmness options—medium and medium-firm. We tested the medium version for this review.

The Medium version has a medium-firm feel, and we rate it at a 6 out of 10, where 10 is the most firm. This is the recommended option for the vast majority of sleepers.

The Medium-Firm version we did not test personally, but I would estimate it has a firmness rating of 7 out of 10, which makes it a slightly firm feel.

Support on the Eco Terra is good. During our tests, I felt well supported in all sleeping positions. The mattress is equipped with a 9.0″ support layer. This is 1.02″ thicker than the average support layer thickness of 7.98″, based on all of our tests to date.

While I found the support dynamic to be good, it’s also clear that it doesn’t rise to the excellent or outstanding level. Part of that more limited support performance is due to the limited 2.0” comfort layer.

Support Factor	Data
Comfort Layer	2.00″
Support Layer	9.00″
Firmness	Medium-Firm and Slightly Firm
Body Contour	Slight
Zoned Support	No
Reinforced Edge	No

Less foam and other comfort material simply means there is less material between sleepers and the coil unit. That limits pressure relief and overall comfort, which can make it harder to sleep comfortably in the same positions for extended periods of time.

To be fair, Eco Terra provides a support dynamic that is perfectly fine, but it’s also fair to say there is plenty of room for improvement (Eco Terra’s sister brand, Plushbeds, offered a much better supportive experience, in my view).

Eco Terra is available in 2 firmnesses, medium and medium-firm. We tested the medium version and found it had a medium-firm feel, 6 out of 10 on our firmness scale. For the vast majority of sleepers, that medium version is going to be the best choice.

It creates an ideal balance of comfort and support that is appropriate for all sleeping positions and most sleepers. That said, if you’re heavier weighted, an exclusive back or stomach sleeper, and/or simply want it to be firmer, then the medium-firm version could be a better choice.

Moving on, in all mattress tests, we make it a point to cut the mattress open and examine the material quality. In doing so, I’m pleased with what I see. The materials look and feel high quality, both on the body and in-hand. My only complaint is the limited 2.0” comfort layer.

I would have liked to have seen either a thicker quilted wool cover and/or a thicker latex layer, which I believe would have improved pressure relief, comfort, and support.

Check out the table below to see the sleeper weights and sleeping positions that would be best suited for this mattress.

Sleeper Weight	Stomach Sleeper	Side Sleeper	Back Sleeper
Under 150 lbs.	Yes	Yes	Yes
150-250 lbs.	Yes	Yes	Yes
250-300 lbs.	Yes	Yes	Yes

Sleeper Weight	Stomach Sleeper	Side Sleeper	Back Sleeper
Under 150 lbs.	Yes	Yes	Yes
150-250 lbs.	Yes	Yes	Yes
250-300 lbs.	Yes	Yes	Yes

Notably, this mattress does not use zoned support. Instead, we have a single support zone of 14-gauge coils (based on our testing data) with 13.5-gauge coils running along the edge.

While I prefer to see zoned support coils, their absence feels less dramatic given the thicker gauge of wire that Eco Terra is using.

Based on all of my tests to date, an analysis of the materials, and my subjective experiences, I’m confident that most sleepers will find support on the Eco Terra to be good.

The Eco Terra is an 11.00″ latex hybrid mattress that comes in two firmness options—Medium-Firm and Slightly Firm.

Design Factor	Data
Type	Latex Hybrid
Thickness	11.00″
Cover Type	Quilted
Weight	100 lbs.
Has Handles	No
Fiberglass-Free	Yes
Ships in a Box	Yes

It has a simple design with a thin quilted cover. There are no handles or fancy bells and whistles, but it’s the simple design that keeps the price low.

In addition, this mattress is GOLS, GOTS, and Oeko-Tex certified. Priced at only $1,000 for a queen mattress, the Eco Terra is one of the most affordable organic mattresses with multiple certifications on the market.

The Eco Terra is 11.00″ thick and contains a combination of latex foam and pocketed coils. From top to bottom, here is a full list of the materials used in this mattress:

Layer Type	Thickness	Manufacturer’s Specs	Tested Specs
Latex Foam	2.00″	24-26 ILD	4.88 PCF
Pocketed Coils	9.00″	15.0 Gauge (Center), 13.5 Gauge (Edge)	14 Gauge (Center), 13.5 Gauge (Edge)

The Eco Terra has an organic cotton quilted cover with organic wool quilted into the middle. It is soft to the touch and has a bit of stretch with round quilted accents that attach the cover to the rest of the mattress.

The comfort layer is 2.00″ thick and made of a single layer of latex and sits directly below the organic cotton and wool cover.

The latex within this layer is GOLS-certified, making it a great option for sleepers who want more natural materials.

The support layer is 9.00″ thick and made of a pocketed coil unit. There are strong coils at the edge of the mattress and more standard coils towards the center of the mattress.

Product Evolution

Eco Terra was founded around 2016 and it looks like the 11″ latex hybrid was launched around 2019. That said, our first test of this mattress happened in May 2026.

It is unclear what, if any, changes this mattress has undergone from its initial launch to its current version that is manufactured and distributed.
