Each bed carries a personalized brass plaque signed by the master craftsmen. The signature blue-and-white check cotton ticking fabric is reinforced and double quilted to maintain its shape. The mattress has thin layers of allergen-free, hand-teased horsehair, wool and cotton. 
Flax also is used between the springs to prevent their contact with the wood or each other to avoid creaking noises.
Each spring in a 10-turn pocket spring system is hand-tied to the next with durable yarn. The inside of the frame is lined with flax before the spring system is put in place. Its foundation is “the finest quality solid pine using dovetail jointing, without the use of a metal nail or screw to the individually set wood slats that are secured with a wooden plug.”. Svensson listed some other distinctive features of the mattress: One of the in-store shops is at ABC Carpet & Home here. Vividus is featured in the company’s flagship store, which opened in this city’s Soho district in May, and at 21 company stores and in-store shops around the country.

Maybe they don't like meat, it's totally possible. Sometimes I see a phrase like "I don't like foam" that and it seems analogous to someone saying "I don't like meat" after all they've ever tried is a mcdonald's hamburger. Do you dislike all three of these types of foams? You've tried all three types? Latex is temperature neutral and doesn't react to heat or cold at all. It's also far more durable (which is great for consumers, not so good for the mattress industry). This is far less ubiquitous in the mattress industry today as it tends to be more expensive and heavier than polyurethane foam. Latex foam - the oldest type of foam used in the mattress industry, derived from sap harvested from rubber trees. Viscoelastic foam is temperature sensitive and thus has developed a bit of a reputation for "sleeping hot." It's been famously advertised for decades by the use a handprint that lingers for a few seconds before it returns to it's shape. Visco-elastic polyurethane foam - aka "memory foam." This is a type of polyurethane foam that has the unique property of being a "slow response" foam. Polyurethane foam is also used in almost all home seating furnitures like couches, arm chairs, etc. 
Very very few mattresses contain no polyfoam at all. Absolutely ubiquitous in the mattress industry. Polyurethane foam, derived from a petrochemical product.

When you say you don't like foam - what exactly do you mean? The mattress industry uses three different sorts of foams fairly extensively.
