The body makes use of repurposed rubberwood sourced from the identical rubber bushes used to provide latex for Thuma’s hybrid mattress line (read our review of the Medium firmness model here). This follow of Thuma’s single-sourcing its supplies—each upcycled rubberwood and latex—is meant to place much less pressure on the surroundings and lessen carbon emissions. However that’s not the one ecofriendly side of this mattress, because the picket slats have felt alongside the aspect constructed from recycled plastics.
Thuma’s Basic Mattress and Essential Bed frames are available in 4 wooden stains—Walnut, Espresso, Pure, and Grey. All finishes are designed to patina, wherein the wooden grain and end change into way more enhanced over time. The cherry on high of this body configuration is available in three headboard choices: an all-wood headboard, a pillowboard, a cushioned headboard, or no headboard in any respect. The headboard interlocks with the highest and aspect items, whereas the pillowboard is supposed to be set on the body between the mattress and the wall.
There are two upholstery choices for each the pillow board and cushion, every with 4 coloration choices. The Efficiency Linen weave is a mix of polyester, viscose, and linen, which collectively have a smoother really feel and are woven for sturdiness and stain resistance. Efficiency Linen is available in Alabaster, Pure, Mild Grey, Pure, and Charcoal. Alternatively, Italian Wool Felt has a heathered look (a extra color-gradient impact, with the wool’s cozy texture poking by means of), is stain-resistant, and is constructed from a mix of recycled wool, polyamide, and different fibers. The Italian Wool Felt has 4 comparable colours to enhance the Basic body: Heathered Oatmeal, Heathered Grey, Heathered Mocha, and Heathered Charcoal.
As overwhelming because the mix-and-match choices are, Thuma affords complimentary swatches so that you will be positively certain. To be on the protected aspect with my wily, moderately harmful canine, I chosen the Espresso end and the headboard-and-cushion mixture in Pure Efficiency Linen.

Thuma’s Basic Mattress body’s meeting course of is comparatively foolproof. The body arrives in 4 heavy containers, every with its contents helpfully labeled. One field contained the headboard and pillow board attachment; one other, the person legs for every nook. The final two held the mattress’s high, backside, and aspect items. Whereas each bit arrived fully wrapped and individually sealed in plastic luggage, stacked inside the containers, I couldn’t assist however really feel that extra padding was wanted to raised defend them. True to its ecofriendly mission, Thuma doesn’t use styrofoam; the packaging makes use of recycled fiber, and the plastic coverings are recyclable (supplied you may have native amenities to take action). I observed, nonetheless, just a few scuffs across the mattress that I didn’t see with nearly all of the Japanese joinery frames I examined. Candidly, if I weren’t a sleep product reviewer and bought this body by myself dime, I’d have been disillusioned that it arrived on this situation.
