My feeling is that if your mattress is more than 5 yrs old its already done most of its off-gasing and throwing it out and buying a new eco one is adding even MORE waste to the landfills! If you're concerned about the materials in a traditional mattress, buy a high end, tightly woven mattress pad, organic cotton if you wish.

Hi I think I would have to agree with bubblegum.

If you really want to cut down on the landfill situation, purchase a two sided sleep system which will extend the life of the mattress. You can find the Vital Rest Organic Latex collection on www.vanguardmattress.com, which features 100% Natural Talalay latex, Certified Organic Cotton, Natural Wool and an organic cotton cover. This line is two sided to enable the consumer to flip the mattress for a better value and extended life. It is also adjustable friendly.

a foam pad placed on top of old mattress works great if your old mattress has lost some of its spring and cushioning
