Today we are going to discuss 10 Beneficial All Natural Latex Mattress Questions. If your question isn’t answered or if you have more questions please feel free to give us a call.

1. Do All Natural Latex Rubber Mattresses Break Down?

Every mattress will take some kind of “set”. A set is a permanent impression that has been left on the mattress after something or someone has been on it for an extended time period. 100% Natural Latex Foam Rubber is not “Foam” at all it is rubber but is used as a foam for various applications including beds. It is naturally elastic and is designed to rebound back. The idea of using it for tires has stood the test of time; people will come around to the idea of its logical place in a mattress as well.

2. I Keep Hearing 100% Dunlop Or Talalay Natural Latex, What is Natural About It?

Unlike other so-called natural-based products such as memory foam which is petroleum-based and strips the earth of its precious resources, latex mattresses have a very green story in comparison. It begins with a 5-6-year-old tree, the derivative natural rubber sap, and a nearly organic composition. The sap can be extracted for up to 26-30 years and the rubber trees can be replenished, unlike crude oil.

3. Are Latex Mattresses Healthy?

Naturally healthy it will not support dust mites nor will it sustain mildew, mold, and bacteria that many people are allergic to. This makes latex mattresses a fit environment for most individuals who are sensitive to such things and additionally, it can aid those people who are chemically sensitive as well.

4. Does A Latex Mattress Have To Be Flipped Over And Turned?

Most manufacturers agree no is the answer. One reason is that latex in the Dunlop Process especially is very heavy and pliable. A latex rubber mattress is nice and flexible for tight turns and staircases. However, it is not pleasant to flip on regular basis, like mattresses and boxsprings, which must rotate and or flip regularly. Nevertheless, due to their untypical durability, these mattresses are just fine laying in the same position month after month and year after year. That’s right, latex mattresses are virtually maintenance-free.

5. Is A Latex Mattress Good For My Back?

Sure latex like any mattress may not be for you, so be sure to visit a store and test one. Latex takes the shape of the body’s natural curves helping to properly distribute body weight while at the same time reducing pressure and increasing blood circulation, a vital component to an undisturbed night of sleep and proper body support.

6. Do All Natural Latex Mattresses Sleep Hot?

There are many factors that can cause a person to sleep hot, but sleeping on a latex mattress is not one of them. Extraordinary breathing ability through correct airflow is a fundamental key to a great night of restful sleep. In a latex mattress, the air circulates via pinhole-sized core holes and open bubbles that result in a mattress that sleeps cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter months.

7. Are Latex Mattresses Just Another Fad?

Not hardly. The Latex mattress segment of the mattress industry is the most rapidly growing component that grew last year at a staggering 239% and is actually growing at a faster rate than the more popular memory foam. This is primarily due to mattresses’ ability to be so many things to so many people including durability, which is the key frustration of so many brand-name mattress and boxspring owners.

8. What Other Materials Are Placed On Top Of Latex Rubber Mattresses?

We hope for natural materials such as organic cotton and organic wool. Some companies use polyurethane foam and other synthetic materials, this defeats the intended design of the more organically designed latex mattress, but it does ultimately reduce customer cost while maintaining a high-quality bed.

9. Do Natural Latex Mattresses Reduce Disturbances Throughout The Night?

We would encourage you to test one for yourself we were impressed. The reduction of motion transfer between couples increases the quality of sleep. There is no doubt that a latex mattress could pass a bowling ball test or wine glass test whichever attention-grabber is being used these days.

10. Are All 100% Natural Latex Mattresses Expensive?

The answer is no in comparison to other type’s mattresses and boxsprings that typically only last 6-8 years. Latex rubber mattresses can stand the test of time. It is common to hear stories of mattresses lasting up to 30 years while averaging 20. If you were to dollar cost average a 20-year life expectancy you have already spent less money. Some mattress manufacturers offer bed kits or sometimes called mattress kits in which the covers can be simply replaced when they become worn over time instead of purchasing a whole new complete bed.
