MATTRESS.

The healthiest mattress ever made'

It is made from cellular LATEX, a sponge-like material of light weight and extraordinary resilience, yielding in any direction to the slightest pressure and resuming its normal shape the instant that pressure is removed.

It never needs punching or shaking and its special construction also makes turning unnecessary.

The expense of periodic re-makings which ordinary mattresses involve is entirely eliminated, as it has no paddings or springs which require attention.
