Firmness Info

The Birch Mattress was designed with a medium-firm feel. If you're looking for something softer, we offer a Plush Pillow Top that lays directly on top of your Birch to provide an extra soft layer - this 3" pillow top can be purchased after you receive the mattress if you do want a softer feel or with your mattress.

On a scale of 10, our mattress has a 6.5 firmness level. We like to refer to it as a "medium firm" - soft at the top, firmer in the middle.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview

The Birch mattress was designed by Helix, the team behind the leading mattress brand in customized sleep. Birch takes those learnings in comfort and uses all natural and organic materials. The Birch mattress is a 6 layer construction:

  • Cover - Organic Cotton
  • Fire Retardant Cover - Wool
  • Comfort Layer - Birch Wool
  • Pressure Relief Layer - Natural Talalay Latex
  • Support Layer - Individually Wrapped Coils
  • Base Layer - Wool Batting.

Each component of the MOLECULE mattress has been engineered to work synergistically to maximize support, comfort and heat dissipation for the best recovery-focused sleep. Featuring a 4 layer construction:

  • 1" BioCharge™ layer
  • 2" AirTEC™ layer
  • 3" RecoveryFLO™ layer (Density: 1.65lbs, ILD: 40)
  • 6" ContourFLO™ layer (Density: 1.5lbs, ILD: 35).

Comfort Info

Our materials come from nature - whether it be wool sustainably sheared from New Zealand sheep or latex tapped from trees. These premium materials are comfortable on your body and conscience.

Better sleep leads to peak performance. It's not just the quantity of your sleep, it's the quality. Your body restores itself most during Slow Wave Sleep - replenishing blood and oxygen and releasing essential hormones. Sleep scientists and athletes engineered Molecule's unique sleep system so you benefit from the most revitalizing stage of rest, optimizing your body's recovery and performance.

Support Info

We spent countless hours finding the right density of latex, quantity of wool, and type of steel springs to provide unprecedented comfort and pressure relief.
Each mattress features a reinforced perimeter for best in class edge support. The coils that run along the outside of your mattress are actually firmer, so no more feeling of falling off the bed when lying down or sitting on the edge.

The firm base support fosters healthy spine alignment.

Comfort Specs

100% all natural & organic Birch Wool provides unparalleled comfort and temperature regulation. Birch Wool is designed to retain shape with a natural elasticity of each fiber.
Talalay latex is up to 7 times more breathable than other types of latex. Natural latex is also hypoallergenic and anti-microbial.

The most restorative rest happens when your body temperature is cooler. Only Molecule offers this revolutionary airy, extreme open-cell structure for consistent cooling even when compressed by your body weight. Cozy support with more than seven-times the airflow of traditional memory foam. Active people need more support and airflow than traditional egg-crate foam mattresses can deliver.

Support Specs

Natural Talalay latex provides response to cushion your pressure points while giving support. Our latex is carefully managed to ensure consistency.
Hundreds of individual steel coils help to cradle your body and provide support, while also limiting motion transfer. Additionally, the reinforced perimeter coils provide best in class edge support.

Ergonomically-engineered Molecule features a meticulously-engineered matrix of hexagon-shaped channels that respond to your unique anatomy and promote airflow even at the deepest depression points. You awake refreshed with relief from sore muscles and joints. Larger hexagon zones in the center designed for additional support and pressure relief in the lumbar region. Varying hexagon zone density around the legs and feet to support the lower body.

Fabric Specs

The Birch Mattress has a cover that is made using natural, organic cotton. It is designed to be highly breathable with a subtle stretch and soft touch.

Cover is 98% Polyester, 2% Lycra. It wicks away heat and moisture to keep skin comfortably cool. As your body temperature changes throughout the night, Molecule's advanced cover material responds dynamically, adjusting evaporation and cooling. Microban® antimicrobial treatment keeps your mattress fresh and clean.
