People with latex allergies may be able to sleep on an Essentia mattress even if they cannot tolerate conventional latex products. Essentia's softest mattress is described as denser than its firmest model. A Johns Hopkins laboratory analysis commissioned by Essentia confirmed no active protein allergens remained in its product. Essentia defines durability by how long a mattress performs for the sleeper, not merely by whether it retains its shape. Essentia designs softness by changing latex fiber elasticity rather than increasing trapped air content. Essentia's vertical integration allows it to manage and reduce protein levels to non-allergenic thresholds. Essentia controls its production process and pours its own latex foam. Essentia uses many latex formulations to match a wide range of postural profiles. Shared Essentia mattresses can have independently selected internal formulations on each side while feeling identical from above.
