Buyers who prioritize certified-organic materials and a firm, natural, chemical-flame-retardant-free sleep surface, handcrafted to order in the US.
You want a plush or hybrid/coil feel, a bed-in-a-box with instant free returns, or the lowest price; an organic latex option like Sleep EZ may suit better.
