Latex Foam Mattresses

Latex Foam Mattresses.  

Firstly latex foam mattresses aren’t for everyone, and of course if you have a latex allergy then that would be a major reason not to buy one. 

A Latex Foam Mattress can be made using natural or synthetic latex, and can be a blend of both or 100% natural latex. There are also two types of latex processing Dunlop and Talalay 

There are many good reasons to buy one of the latex foam mattresses
1. They are very comfortable and supportive, giving good spine alignment. This means better circulation and pressure distribution and a better night’s sleep. A very high proportion of latex foam mattress owners, over 85% state they are very comfortable, whereas inner spring mattresses only have about 60% user satisfaction.

2. They do last a long time providing you buy a latex foam mattress with better quality higher density foam.

3. They have an adjustable firmness by overlaying different latex layers of different firmness ratings.

4. A good quality latex foam mattress bounces back quickly so you can easily move while you are in bed.

5. Even where the weather is cold everything still works in the same way, so they are not dramatically affected by temperature.

6. A big plus is that the latex foam mattresses work with electric adjustable beds.

Looking at the disadvantages  of latex Foam mattresses 
1. The main one would be price. They are expensive, but whatever you do never think you are getting a bargain. Cheap is not good. If the latex foam mattress is not made of high quality latex it develops lumps and body impressions. You can expect to pay in the region of $2000 for a good quality latex foam mattress

2. They do smell a bit at the beginning because of the latex, and it is difficult to find the right combination of latex layers.

3. You won’t want to be shifting your bed around because latex foam mattresses are very heavy and difficult to move.

It cannot however be emphasised strongly enough that potential buyers need to lie on and test out any mattress before they buy it, and not just for themselves but their partner as well. The Latex Foam Mattress is no exception. 

It appears that the Talalay Blended Latex is still the best quality
