LOS ANGELES, April 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Many people who sleep on conventional mattresses are unaware that those mattresses are plagued with toxic glues, chemicals, dust-mites, allergens and most recently highlighted in the press, bed bugs. Essentia is a revolutionary alternative to conventional mattresses. It's the world's first and only natural memory foam mattress and they're now available just outside Los Angeles on Main Street in Santa Monica.

In-depth research at the UCLA Department of Materials Science and Engineering concluded, "After performing toxicity tests on Essentia's patented natural memory foam material through the UCLA Department of Material's Science and Engineering, Essentia is proud to announce that the results support Essentia's claims that it maintains the healthiest and greenest sleep surface in the World by offering a sleeping solution with no VOCs, no Semi-VOCs and no Formaldehyde."

Essentia has been featured in 'O' The Oprah Magazine, The Rachael Ray Show, The Huffington Post, on HGTV and recently on Dr. Oz's Hot List as his #1 favorite product.

The Story Behind Essentia:

When a family member was diagnosed with cancer, Jack Dell'Accio the founder of Essentia was made aware of the amount of harmful toxins in household items, including mattresses.

"In looking for a healthy alternative mattress for my relative, I realized there weren't any. I decided to research and develop something different, foam made from natural ingredients. There is no other kind like it. Our green initiatives make Essentia a safe, healthy alternative to conventional bedding products," says Jack Dell'Accio, founder of Essentia.
