Awara vs. Brentwood Cedar
better sleep, naturally
Attempting to decide on the mattress features that matter most to you can get frustrating, especially when you’re trying to navigate the various details of other comparable mattresses on the market.
At Awara, we completely understand this. We know that your time is valuable and it can be difficult to go through pages of reviews and websites that outline mattress specifics. This is why we’ve decided to take the mystery out of the process and make it much more simple.
In this comparison article, we’ve highlighted some key elements that appeal to most mattress buyers, and outlined the facts. Discover the key differences between Awara and one of its competitors, the Brentwood Cedar mattress, to help make your decision process easier.
Organic Materials
At Awara, we care about the Earth and we care about you, which is why have made the conscious decision to utilize as many natural and organic materials as possible in the construction of our mattresses. We use only sustainably sourced Rainforest Alliance Certified latex as well as 100% organic cotton and Certified 100% Organic Wool fiber from New Zealand. The result is a mattress that you can feel good about purchasing for yourself and for loved ones.
The Brentwood Cedar mattress uses organic cotton, but the main difference compared to the Awara mattress is that the latex they use is not Rainforest Alliance Certified. This is something to keep in mind if you’re looking for a mattress that cares about certified, organic materials that are eco-conscious. This makes them better for the Earth and your own well-being.
Hybrid Design
Hybrid mattresses, such as the Awara mattress and Brentwood’s Cedar mattress, combine two or more types of support. With both Awara and the Cedar mattress, you’re able to enjoy the classic feel of an innerspring mattress mixed with the soft cushioning comfort of latex.
Awara takes pride in its premium individually-wrapped pocket coil system and hybrid design. Mixing layers of lush, contouring Rainforest Alliance Certified latex with individually-wrapped coils underneath, helps ensure a supportive base with the traditional bounce-back and responsive feel of an innerspring mattress.
Brentwood’s Cedar mattress is fairly comparable to Awara in terms of hybrid design, utilizing a 5-zone coil system and a combination of layers of (not Rainforest Alliance Certified) latex
Latex
Awara uses Rainforest Alliance Certified latex that is sustainably sourced to give the eco-conscious sleeper greater peace of mind. Using natural Rainforest Alliance Certified latex means that the Awara mattress is made without many of the chemicals that are often found in mattresses made of different, unnatural or not-organic materials.
Similar to Awara, the Brentwood Cedar mattress also uses latex. Dunlop is a popular choice because of a more streamlined, simple manufacturing process, which also means that it leaves less of a carbon footprint. The main difference between Awara and Brentwood Cedar when it comes to the latex these mattresses use however, is that the Brentwood Cedar mattress isn’t made with Rainforest Alliance Certified latex like Awara. Many mattress companies that boast they are natural may use materials found in nature, such as latex, but that doesn’t mean that they are certified organic. Awara has taken the time and care to ensure that our latex is Rainforest Alliance Certified to give you peace of mind. We go beyond nature - we go organic as much as possible.
Latex Layer
As hybrid mattresses, Awara and Brentwood Cedar both use a combination of latex and coils to create a balanced feel of comfort and targeted responsiveness. Both Awara and Brentwood Cedar have a latex layer that is 4” deep. With 4” of supportive, cushioning latex that sits atop the bottom supporting coil layer, you’ll find more than enough cushion to support your entire body and relieve areas of pressure in order to help lull you into a deep sleep.
Euro Top
Redefining the term ‘eco-luxury’, every Awara mattress is topped with a lavish Euro top cover, comprised of silky soft 100% organic cotton and Certified 100% Organic Wool fiber from New Zealand. These materials were specifically chosen to help improve airflow and keep your temperature neutral throughout the night. Awara sleepers love the luxury firm feel of the Awara mattress, giving it the Goldilocks rating: not too soft and not too firm but ‘just right’. Enjoy the benefits of consciously crafted, naturally-sourced materials, combining to bring the ideal levels of comfort and support that begin with Awara’s premium quality Euro top. Back, side, and stomach sleepers will find exactly what they’re looking for with Awara.
Brentwood Cedar is fairly matched with Awara in this category because it also has a Euro top comprised of a cotton cover and natural wool for a ‘medium firmness’ feel.
