Natural latex offers some differences in material and composition from synthetic latex materials, and it's important to understand what it means to offer all-natural latex mattress toppers and other memory foam products.What is natural latex?
Natural latex is just that - it is a naturally-occurring material that is derived from the rubber tree, and is a biodegradable material that provides natural cushioning and support.
What are the benefits of Natural Latex?
Natural latex is especially desirable for individuals with sensitive skin or with allergies, as natural latex is hypo-allergenic, anti-microbial, and dust mite resistant. That means natural latex will not irritate the skin of those with certain sensitivities or cause problems for allergy sufferers.
The material is also breathable by nature, which makes it possible to keep you warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. During the production process, natural latex is manufactured in varying support levels ranging from medium to extra firm.All-natural latex products do not contain any toxins, and are completely safe for the environment. Even the process used in the production of natural latex mattresses and mattress toppers is safe for the environment as no toxic gases are released during the process.
I'm allergic to latex gloves. Will natural latex mattress toppers cause problems for me?
Probably not! Latex gloves are made of a closed-cell structure, which traps the proteins that cause problems for some individuals who are allergic to latex. The all-natural latex used in mattress toppers and mattresses creates a foam with open cells. That allows these proteins to be washed out and released, which will greatly reduce the chance of having an allergic reaction, even if you know you are allergic to latex. Still, we advise our customers to test out the all-natural latex mattress toppers and mattresses just to be sure.
