You must have heard the name “Coir Mattress” when you look out for the options available in the market for mattresses. Well, coir mattress is nothing but a mattress made of a high density of fibers of coconut. Coir is basically a natural fiber extracted from the outer husk of a coconut. It is the fibrous material developed from the material found between the internal hard shell and the external coating of coconut.
We all know how harsh the coconut coir or fibers are and that it is almost impossible to sleep over them. Thus, a coir mattress is generally a mattress made of a combination of coconut coir and some soft material like foam.
Coir is the primary ingredient of a coir mattress and foam or latex (natural rubber) is the secondary ingredient. An arrangement of coir as the primary material and a secondary material is covered with a cotton or jacquard fabric and stitched together to give the comfortable look and feel to the mattress so that it can give you a good night’s sleep.
The mesh of layers of coconut fibers makes the coir mattress breathable and hygroscopic in nature. The air circulation inside the layers of the mattress becomes possible and this makes it an ideal choice for summers, especially for sweaty sleepers.
