A hemp mattress is ideally used when the weather is humid, as it will be able to stand molds and mildew formation. This topper isn’t only all that, it also has a slip cover for added protection and is made of lightweight composition, perfect for laying atop any kind of regular mattress.

While it is quite lightweight and thin, this hemp mattress is inspired from the Japanese idea of layering mattress in order to create customized comfort and support.

Building For Health recommends:

… two cotton layers and one wool layer for the best sleeping results. Or, one 3″ layer can be added on top of an inner-spring mattress for a cozy feeling like a feather bed. It can be compared to the feather bed in function, but it has several important distinctions: The natural fiber batting is layered in full batts, and tufted into place so there is no shifting of the inner stuffing (as is true with down or feathers).
