Every mattress on this page is built in exchangeable latex layers. When you order, you choose the firmness configuration that suits how you sleep. If that configuration turns out not to be quite right, you can swap the top layers within 180 days and dial it in. That is what modular means here: not a fixed product, but a starting point.
We have been building mattresses this way in Delta, BC since 1985. Each one is handmade to order in our factory using GOLS-certified organic Dunlop latex, natural Talalay latex, or a combination of both. The layers are wrapped in individual organic cotton sleeves and housed in a zippered Tencel cover, so swapping is straightforward.
The 8-inch mattress is a three-layer build on a multi-layer Dunlop base with a 2-inch comfort layer on
top. The 10-inch adds a 2-inch transition layer between the base and comfort layers, which softens the shift from the firm core to the top surface. Both come with a choice of Soft, Medium, or Firm comfort layers in Dunlop or Talalay. The DIY Dunlop Talalay pairing lets you combine a Talalay base with a Dunlop comfort layer, or build the other direction, for a more specific feel than either material alone.
Hybrid options are also part of this range. The Essential Hybrid and the DIY Hybrid pair a 7-inch pocket coil base with latex comfort layers. The pocket coil provides a more traditional feel for people who are not ready to move fully to latex, while the latex top layers remain fully exchangeable within the same 180-day window.
How the Layer Exchange Works
Within 180 days of delivery, you can return any comfort layer that is 3 inches or thinner and exchange it for a different firmness or material. The cost is the price difference between what you have and what you are exchanging to, plus a restocking fee. The layer comes back in its organic cotton sleeve using the same packaging the mattress arrived in.
The exchange window is designed to give you enough time to know whether your configuration is genuinely working. A few weeks is usually enough to tell. If it is not right, reach out to Tyson directly at the Delta showroom or by email and we will sort it from there.
Dunlop, Talalay, or Both
Dunlop is the original latex manufacturing process: liquid rubber poured and baked in a single stage. The result is a dense, supportive latex with a consistent feel from top to bottom. It is available in GOLS-certified organic form across all comfort and base layer options in this range.
Talalay uses a different process that produces a lighter, more buoyant latex. It has a springier surface
response and tends to feel less firm at the same ILD than Dunlop. The DIY Dunlop Talalay mattress lets you combine a Talalay base with a Dunlop comfort layer, or pair a Dunlop base with a Talalay comfort layer, depending on what kind of feel you are after. If you are not sure which direction to go, a
showroom fitting in Delta can help clarify it.
