Collection: Foundations

Natural bed foundations are the quiet, hardworking layer that helps your mattress breathe, stay dry, and feel properly supported. By lifting your sleep surface and adding a ventilating base, coconut coir foundations and tatami mats create a stable platform that supports your body while helping to manage moisture and airflow under the mattress.

If you’re placing a mattress on a solid platform, floor, or tightly slatted frame, a coir base can make a big difference. Coconut coir foundations and natural bed rugs made from coir fibers introduce a firm, springy layer that keeps the underside of the mattress slightly elevated so air can circulate. Paired with one of our natural and organic mattresses, this combination helps reduce condensation, discourage trapped humidity, and extend the lifespan of your bed.

For those drawn to Japanese-inspired interiors, tatami-style foundations bring both structure and character to the room. Traditional tatami mats and platforms provide a firm, gently resilient base that works beautifully under shikibuton-style bedding or low-profile mattresses. The woven surface adds a subtle, natural texture underfoot while supporting a calm, minimalist layout that keeps the focus on clean lines and breathable materials.

These eco-friendly foundations are made from plant-based fibers and solid wood rather than synthetic foams or plastic grids, so they integrate naturally into a broader low-tox bedroom. Whether you are building a low-profile floor bed or upgrading a standard frame, combining a coir or tatami base with supportive slatted mattress foundations and bases can help you fine-tune both comfort and ventilation throughout your sleep system.
