Review: The Birch Elite Natural latex mattress kept me cool during a sweltering heatwave, but there are some big drawbacks I can't overlook
Tom's Guide Verdict Alongside my husband, I slept on a queen size Birch Elite Natural Mattress for two months, spanning two heatwaves. Cooling is where this mattress shines, thanks to layer after layer of naturally breathable and sweat-wicking materials. The Birch Elite Natural is also superbly responsive and supportive right up to the edges, which is great news for coupes.
