The Latex Mattress - Sleep Tight Without the Bed Bugs

A latex mattress is quite an awesome part of nature. Anyone who owns one can vouch for its virtues. One important aspect of a latex foam mattress is that it is natural. The synthetic latex mattresses have so many harsh chemicals, while the natural ones are constructed out of the sap of a tree! A natural latex foam mattress is antimicrobial, and with it you have a natural defense that repels bed bugs. In addition to that, neither will you have problems with allergic reactions, as they are hypoallergenic. Synthetic is just that - trying to imitate the superiority of nature - it just isn't the same!

Truly, the most attractive feature of the natural latex foam bed is the comfort you get from it. You will experience much the same effect as a memory foam mattress, only tons better. The latex foam mattress provides ample support, while making it feel like you are resting on air - a perfect balance of firmness and softness. Abandon the "sleep number" - no batteries or electricity required here. You get comfort the way mother nature intended. And you'll have nothing to fix because nothing will break (it's virtually maintenance-free)! But, you will have all of the advantages mimicked by memory foam - that is, the mattress forms naturally around the contours of your body, and it will not lose its elasticity over time like synthetic latex does.

Test the Latex Mattress

If you aren't convinced by latex mattresses yet then just give it a try. Lie down on a latex foam mattress (or latex mattress topper) and feel it embrace you. When you get off the bed, the mattress will quickly regain its shape, just like it is taking a breath out. The elasticity is really great.

It's worth celebrating the purchase of a new latex foam bed. You can sleep any which way and be know you'll be getting a great night's sleep. These natural mattresses breathe well, and so the heat or moisture coming from your body don't matter. And because they ventilate so well, those who suffer ailments like asthma or other disorders of the respiratory system can buy a latex mattress without worry. Another nice element of the latex mattress is its staying power. In most cases the warranties on them go up to 20 years, but will last much longer than that with proper care.

Latex Mattress Bed Advantages and Disadvantages

If you are looking for information on the pros and cons of latex mattresses, you've come to the right place.

My research team has collected data from over 100 latex bed owners, including what the owners like and don't like about the mattresses.

Advantages

The first and primary advantage of latex mattresses is that they are comfortable. In fact, over 85% of the owners find their bed to be comfortable. By comparison, beds that are primarily made of memory foam, air or water score around 80%, according to our related research. And innerspring mattresses only score about 60%.

In addition, the beds are generally considered durable by their owners. However, there are a few instances of premature sagging. Off gassing and sleeping hot both tend to not be a major issue.

Disadvantages

The main disadvantage of latex beds is that they are generally expensive. Expect to pay a couple thousand dollars for a quality latex mattress. It is not clear if prices will come down in the future.

The other disadvantage is that the mattresses don't have much of a track record, at least in the United States. If you've done research online you probably have not found much quality information on latex beds, at least compared to what is available regarding innerspring beds, memory foam beds and air beds.

This means that if you buy a latex mattress, you should consider yourself to be a bit of an early adopter or pioneer since not too many people to date have bought a latex mattress, at least in relation to the other mattress types.
