Latex Mattress Buyer's Guide
Latex Mattresses
Latex foam is one of the latest technological breakthroughs in the mattress industry. Latex Mattresses have an infinite number of benefits to your sleep and your health, and they are becoming more popular by the day! Once you have tried resting your body on a latex mattress, you will ask why they haven’t come up with this kind of stuff before.
Latex mattresses are made from sap taken from rubber trees. Latex was first used as a top layer in traditional mattresses with innersprings which we are all so accustomed to. Eventually, those innerspring cores were replaced with latex as well. Since then, latex mattresses have become more and more popular due to the unique comforts and natural sleep environment that they provide.
 
One of the reasons why latex mattresses are considered the best mattress in the market is because they ride on the green revolution, being made up almost entirely of natural ingredients while providing a durable product that really is able to deliver on its promise of giving a wonderful good night sleep. Other mattresses that use green ingredients like wool and cotton cannot give the same level of buoyancy and elasticity. The difference can be felt easily and you will no doubt have an easy time picking a latex mattress over a regular mattress.
Types Of Latex Mattresses:
There are different kinds of latex mattresses based on their composition and how they are made. Latex mattresses can be all natural, or made with a mix of natural and synthetic materials. Latex foam is always natural, but sometimes the bonding between the layers of the mattress is synthetic. This is still a great option for the green consumer as much less chemicals are used in this process than in traditional mattresses.
The difference between a Dunlop latex mattress and Talalay latex mattresses has to do with the technique in which the mattresses are made. The main difference is that Talalay mattresses add another step (the use of core pins) when curing the rubber, making these latex mattresses higher quality, more durable, soft and in turn, more expensive.
Basic Vs. Premium Latex Mattresses
One difference between a high-end and low-end latex mattress is the number of layers that make up the mattress. If there are more layers, the mattress is usually more expensive and more supportive. In the world of latex, you definitely get what you pay for. If you are going for a multiple-layered mattress, it is better to have Talalay natural latex on top that will give a luxurious feel to the mattress and Dunlop natural latex at the bottom that will provide good support.
 
The 100% natural latex mattresses will also be more expensive than the partially-synthetic latex mattresses. Natural latex makes for a healthier sleep environment and will never irritate skin. Latex is also hypoallergenic which makes for an anti-dust mite, anti-mildew and anti-mold sleep.
