The triple layer organic sleep mattress has three interchangeable pads in different levels of firmness and is aptly called Options.

Sleeping preference changes from time to time. Say you want to sleep on a very soft surface tonight, you can move the layers around and place the softest one on top of it. On the nights you prefer a firmer bed, you do the same thing and change from soft to firm.

All of these layers are natural latex. Covering it up is the cozy organic wool that comes with it.

Other items also up for bidding include coffee tables, sports equipment and electronic items.

The Olympic organizers have yet to announce the full details but the bidding is expected to raise billions of Yuan.
