One of our most popular latex options, the 9" Oxford strikes the perfect balance of support and comfort. With 4 layers of natural Talalay latex encased in an organic cotton and quilted wool case, experience the lavishness of layering, with a range of firmnesses.
The Oxford is perfect for couples, as the dual-profile option can accommodate both partners’ unique sleep requirements and minimize movement transfer.
Our current build time is 8 weeks for this product. If the materials are available, your mattress may be completed sooner. Please contact us if you need it by a certain date.
Firmness
To simplify online ordering, we offer5 firmnesses to choose from. That being said, the 4 layers of latex, each with their own customizable density, allows for an endless range of firmnesses, support and feel, far beyond what we can display online. For special requests, or to explore our greater range of options, please call or visit us in the shop.
For Queen and King sizes, it can be builtdual-profile(where the two halves are different firmnesses).
*Be sure to select a firmness for each side when ordering a King or Queen bed. For Twin and Full mattresses, you must select the same firmness for both "sides", as they cannot be made dual-profile.
Case Material
There are two options for the case material of the mattress.Please note that the case might differ from the photos.
These are the standard case materials we use depending on the firmness chosen: Soft & Medium-Soft:Tencel Top Case
Medium, Medium-Firm, Firm:Organic Cotton Stretch Case
Please let us know if you would like us to use a specific material for your mattress, otherwise we will go by the information provided above. If you have two different firmnesses, we will choose the case material according to the softer side of the mattress.
Set Up
This mattress arrives deconstructed with a separate case and layers of latex wrapped in cotton muslin. Set up instructions are provided. Queen and Kings come in half layers so each side will be "built" inside the mattress according to firmness.

Care
For longevity, the internal layers of this mattress should be flipped once every 4-6 months. We recommend using a mattress protector to prevent spills and stains from damaging your mattress.
Incredibly pleased with my 9" Oxford medium-soft king! This bed is the most comfortable mattress I have ever had (by far), and the fact that it's natural, organic, and sustainable makes me feel great about the purchase. Being able to take the bed apart to flip the layers, move it with ease, and change up the firmness if needed is a huge bonus! Well worth the price. 10/10!

True quality and comfort
Very happy with my Queen Oxford (medium firm -medium firm) mattress. From the service I received when I visited the showroom to test the mattresses, to the efficiency of the installation team who came to put the mattress together for me.
I love that sustainability is an important integral part of Black Sheep company.
As for the mattress itself. It’s awesome. So comfortable and I sleep really well on it.
I like the fact that it’s all organic and natural and that it’s all in layers so I could move it on my own if necessary. As someone who moves a fair bit, it was an important factor in my final choice.
It is an investment in my health.
I fully recommend Black Sheep mattresses to anyone who cares about the health of their mind and body.
Hi Charlotte! We're so happy to hear that you're enjoying your new mattress and that we were able to assist you through the whole process! The Oxford is handy in that you can take it apart to move it, so now you can get a great night's rest no matter where in the world you are! Happy sleeping! :)

Invest in your sleep!
We just love our new Oxford 9" mattress! Christian took the time to understand our needs and made a great recommendation for us. As we live outside of Calgary, having the flexibility to change the softness levels ourselves makes these fabulous mattresses accessible on top of being of very high quality. We opted for the separate casings as well, which really minimizes any motion transfer between myself and my restless leg husband ;)
And to be able to sleep on it right away without the typical off-gasing issues of foam mattresses was amazing!
Highly recommend this natural quality product and company on all fronts!
It may seem expensive at first, but if you consider full cost accounting of your alternatives (and how long they last), it's not. It is also an investment in your sleep, the environment, small Canadian business, and perhaps even your marriage!
Hi Emma, Thank you so much for your review! We're glad to hear that you and your husband are enjoying the mattress! We do our best to accommodate each customer's needs, so we're glad that the separate casing is helping both you and your husband get a good night's (undisturbed) rest! Happy sleeping!

Comfortable Sleep & Excellent Customer Service
Really happy with my mattress purchase! Before sleeping on this mattress, I didn't know that softness and support were two qualities that you could have at the same time. I was also impressed with the customer service. Everyone I spoke to was very friendly and helpful and my mattress was delivered quite a bit sooner than expected. I also requested an adjustment to one of the layers and this too was ready quicker than anticipated. Overall, very satisfied with the overall experience and glad I was able to support local!
Thank you for your review, Martin! We're glad to hear that your mattress is working for you and the adjustment helped you find that sweet spot! The ability to provide both support and softness is definitely one of the great traits of the natural latex. Thank you for supporting a local, small business! Happy sleeping!

Back Problems
I came to Black Sheep in a pretty desperate situation. I had recently been of work from a physical job with a back injury and was just getting back to work. Due to personal reasons I was going to be sleeping on an air mattress until my bed was ready. Because of shipping delays due to covid the Black Sheep Company was running low on stock and said they couldn't promise anything less than 4 weeks as they were waiting on shipments they had no control over. I received my bed in 2 weeks from placing the order while living in the different city! I was extremely grateful for the priority and customer service I received. Now after 3 months of sleeping on my bed I can vouch for the amazing quality of this company, My pack pain isn't gone due to my job, but It has improved drastically because of my choice to invest in this company. Thank you Thank you Thank you!
Hi Chandra, thanks for sharing your story. We're delighted that you invested in us from a distance and we were happy to arrange the priority order for you. It's so great to hear that your back pain has improved!
