Introduction

If you want a mattress that’s allergen-free and naturally aligns your body, try a latex. They are basically the new memory foam only much more comfortable. They’re 97 percent natural and are not combined with synthetic materials. Curing agents, such as zinc, are added to the sap for its coziness, which is the only reason that the label, “100 percent latex” is a tad misleading.

The Latex They’re Made Of

Natural latex is made of rubber tree sap. The sap is whipped into a froth, molded, then baked. There are two general kinds of latex, Dunlop and Talalay. The latter is more expensive because it’s process involves vacuum sealing and flash freezing before baking. Talalay is known for its more traditional feel. Talalay is known for giving pressure point relief and cradling the hips and shoulders. Dunlop, on the contrary, is denser and more firm. Its softer layers add cushioning.

When the trees are tapped for their sap, it does not even hurt them. The plantations that manage the latex trees keep them carefully monitor the trees’ growth and sustainability. Like all trees, they also remove carbon dioxide and there are no pesticides involved.

Other Advantages of Latex

When lying on a latex mattress for the first time, most people report feeling like they’re sinking and then a buoyancy. This is due to its natural springiness. Unlike with other mattresses, no toxic chemicals or metal springs are involved in its manufacturing. Latex has a natural resistance to mold and dust mites.as a result, latex mattresses are ideal for humid climates and those who have year-round allergy issues.
Latex is naturally breathable so you don’t have to worry about waking up in a major sweat. Latex mattresses also don’t slip very easily. As a result, you don’t need to worry about it sliding around with your body. Their high durability also gives them a good longevity.

Disadvantages of Latex

The only real disadvantages of latex are that it tends to be expensive and heavy. However, latex mattresses are a rare case in which it’s value actually equals its worth. It also represents its longevity, and hence, a decreased need for replacement throughout your lifetime. Those with spring coils tend to cost just as much or more but don’t live up to their value. In most cases, the heaviness is not a major drawback, either. Most people don’t need to move their mattresses around that much.

What About the Sag Factor?

GOLS (Global Organic Latex Standard) certified mattresses typically last for at least 20 years. Sag factors for mattresses are calculated on their ability to spring back to their original forms after exposure to pressure. Five is the most resilient, and one is the least. Most latex mattresses tend to come out at four or five. Factors rated over three tend to provide exceptional comfort. Those mixed with synthetics tend to sag and break down faster.

Conclusion

Organic latex mattresses seem to be the best ones on the wholistic level. They’re natural, comfortable, not easily movable, and they have a good longevity rate. Only a few curing agents are added to give the mattresses their cozy feel. However, it’s not enough to trigger any allergic reactions. They beat even those that are mixed with synthetic materials because those can be hypoallergenic and break down easily. They are breathable, durable, and, buoyant. They also represent a good value for their financial worth. They also provide natural alignment to any pressure or body that lies on it. It seems that there is hardly anything that is not favorable about them.
