Natural Latex Mattresses

Latex mattresses are produced using the natural material, latex, from rubber trees. For a single latex mattress alone, it can take up to 500 days for one rubber tree to produce enough latex. The latex sap from the trees is whipped up and baked into foam, creating natural latex mattresses with a bouncy, breathable composition.

Latex mattresses possess many of the same qualities as memory foam and other foam mattresses. Memory foam is able to mould to the contours of your body shape as the material consists of millions of tiny holes, which seep out air and conform around the area where pressure is applied. Because all air escapes from a memory foam mattress surface, it has strong heat retention properties that can cause you to feel hot throughout the night. Latex mattresses are similar yet have more of a bouncy feel by comparison to memory foam's 'sink-in' feeling. Because a latex mattress is bouncier, it has increased air circulation which is great for keeping you cool throughout the night.

Due to the composition of a natural latex mattress, they are known to be fantastic hypoallergenic options much like memory foam. The cell structure makes it incredibly difficult for dust mites to pass through, helping those affected by hayfever to get restful sleep.

Of all mattress types, latex foam is known for its extreme durability. The natural materials are designed to last for over 10 years, making latex mattresses an option that's worth investing in. The durable bounciness of a latex mattress means it always returns to its original shape and is fantastic for relieving pressure points such as joints, shoulders, hips and the back. The unparalleled pressure relief of natural latex mattresses goes above their memory foam and pocket sprung counterparts as their longevity is much more substantial.
