Why We Choose Natural Latex mattresses?

Why We Choose Natural Latex mattresses?

Ⅰ. Introduction: Why are natural latex mattresses becoming more and more popular?
In the past, our requirements for mattresses may have been just "soft enough" or "cheap enough", but now, we pay more and more attention to health, environmental protection and sleep quality. As a couple who have experienced back pain, we have tried palm mattresses, memory foam mattresses and even spring mattresses, but we have never found a product that can support the body without being stuffy. It was not until we came into contact with natural latex mattresses that we really felt what "sleeping well" meant.
Now many people do not buy traditional mattresses, but choose natural latex mattresses. This is not a temporary trend, but a pursuit of health and quality of life. Families who are afraid of allergies, consumers with strong environmental protection concepts, and people who want to have a good sleep like natural latex mattresses.
Ⅱ. What is a natural latex mattress?
A natural latex mattress is made of a rubber tree. Latex is formed by physical foaming. It is usually divided into two production methods: Dunlop and Talalay.
The mattress in our house uses a natural latex core made by the Dunlop process. It is dense and has good support, which is very suitable for people who need support for their waist and back. The latex made by the Talalay process is lighter and fluffier, which may be more suitable for people who like the feeling of "sinking in".
Unlike synthetic latex, real natural latex does not contain chemical synthetic materials and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which is very friendly to us who are sensitive to the respiratory tract. And its elasticity is surprisingly good. It can rebound quickly when pressed down, and it will not "collapse" like memory foam.

The natural latex mattress is eco-friendly, durable, breathable, and ideal for healthy sleep while providing optimal support.

Ⅲ. What is the difference between natural latex and organic latex?

When we first came into contact with latex mattresses, we were also confused by the words "natural" and "organic". Many brands will mark "organic latex", but it is not equivalent to pure natural latex.
Natural latex: Of course it is a pure natural material, a product from nature. Rubber tree sap, without any synthetic ingredients.
Organic latex: It is a product that has obtained international certification (such as GOLS, OEKO-TEX) based on natural latex. The entire processing process doesn't use pesticides or other chemicals or harmful substances. 
We use the material of mattress also is natural latex. We don't choose the organic certified product, so the price is also cheap than organic latex mattresses.If we want environmentally friendly,we can choose organic latex,it a better choice. 
Ⅳ. What are the core advantages of natural latex mattresses?

As a personal experiencer, we think the biggest advantage of natural latex mattresses can be described from the following aspects:
1. Good support and resilience
We used to use memory foam mattresses, and often felt that we "sunk in and couldn't get out", and we had to use force to turn over. The elasticity of natural latex makes it easy for us to turn over, and the waist can clearly feel the support, and we will never have back pain when we wake up.
2. Anti-mite and antibacterial
Natural latex itself has the characteristics of antibacterial and anti-mite. We no longer have to worry about the breeding of mites in humid seasons. It is very suitable for people like us who are sensitive to materials and have allergic constitutions.
3. Breathability
I always feel very hot when I sleep and keep sweating. Since using it, it's not so stuffy at night anymore. Because the honeycomb structure inside natural latex ensures good air circulation.
4. Long service life
Many friends say that natural latex mattresses can be used for at least 10 years, and they won't collapse as easily as sponges or springs. We have been using it for a long time, but it still looks very new.
5. Environmentally friendly
The sap of rubber trees can be collected every year. It's the latex produced by the trees themselves, and there's no destruction of trees. Using a natural latex mattress also is an environmental protection.

Ⅴ. Is the natural latex mattress suitable for everyone?

Not everyone is suitable for this type of mattress. From our own experience, natural latex mattresses are suitable for the following types of people:
1.If our waist is prone to soreness, the support provided by natural latex will be very suitable for us. It is a suitable mattress for side sleepers. Latex has good elasticity and can fit perfectly according to our body curves, especially for the waist. After using it for a few months, the back pain has been significantly relieved.
2.People who are afraid of heat and sweat easily will like its breathability. The breathability of latex mattresses will not make us feel stuffy, and we don't sweat much when we sleep in summer.
3.People who are sensitive to materials, have respiratory diseases and are prone to allergies. Natural latex mattresses are naturally antibacterial and mite-proof, less likely to breed bacteria, and cleaner and safer than traditional sponges.
4.Latex itself comes from rubber trees and is a sustainable and environmentally friendly resource. The entire production process is much more environmentally friendly than that of petrochemical foam. We feel that using such a mattress is like doing more for the earth.
5.If we have a limited budget, don't worry. There are already more and more reasonably priced natural latex mattress brands on the market, which are very cost-effective. Of course, some fully organic certified products are more expensive, which may be suitable for users with higher environmental standards.
Ⅵ.Some common misunderstandings we have heard

In the process of deciding to change our mattress, we also encountered a lot of "rumors" about natural latex. Here we also want to share a few common problems to help everyone understand this material more clearly.
Some people say that natural latex can cause allergies. In fact, this is not entirely correct. Most natural latex mattresses have had allergy-causing proteins removed during processing, and the surface is generally wrapped in fabric, so the skin does not come into direct contact with the original latex. We have a mild allergic physique in our family, and we have used it for a year without any discomfort.
Some people also think that natural latex mattresses are too soft and easy to collapse. In fact, natural latex can be made very supportive according to density and thickness, and is no worse than spring mattresses. Ours is a harder model, and the sleeping feeling is particularly stable and not soft and collapsed.
Some people think that the price is too expensive and not worth it. We agree that the price of natural latex mattresses is indeed higher than that of ordinary mattresses, but from the perspective of service life, sleep quality and environmental value, it is a product that is worth investing in.

Ⅶ. Conclusion: Is a natural latex mattress really worth having?

After our personal experience, we can say responsibly: natural latex mattress is worth choosing. It not only improves our sleep quality, but also allows us to sleep peacefully every night, breathe fresh air, and be full of energy the next day.
We know that everyone has different sleeping habits, but if you are also looking for a healthy, environmentally friendly, durable and comfortable mattress, you might as well try a natural latex mattress. You may think the price is high at first, but the experience it brings will make you feel that it is all worth it.
Choosing a mattress is choosing a lifestyle. We choose natural latex to make ourselves and our family sleep more peacefully and to make our lives more textured.
