Remember when innerspring mattresses were ‘all the rage?’ Mattress suppliers couldn’t keep them in stock because everyone wanted one. Mattress manufacturers took the innerspring mattress from ordinary to extraordinary. But, is innerspring extraordinary the same thing as latex extraordinary?
Of course not.
In recent years, consumers have discovered the many benefits associated with natural latex mattresses and natural latex mattress toppers. They have discovered that these benefits dramatically outweigh any benefit that innerspring mattresses could ever provide.
Natural latex mattresses simply last longer than any other type of mattress. When compared to traditional innerspring mattresses, latex mattresses last almost three times as long. Sleep experts recommend replacing innerspring mattresses every five to seven years. Latex mattresses need to be replaced every twenty years. High quality latex beds can even last up to thirty years!
Latex beds provide a soft sleeping platform that cradles one’s body during sleep. However, they are also firm. Thus, latex beds are soft and supportive. These beds return to their original form after a short time.
You don’t have to worry about germs with latex bed. All of these beds are naturally anti-microbial.
Latex mattresses conform to your body. This means that they offer support where you need it most. There have been major health benefits associated with latex mattresses because instead of creating pressure points, the latex material works to reduce pressure points and other areas of discomfort. Similarly, latex mattresses have been proven to increase blood flow, oxygen delivery and nutrient delivery throughout the body.
The latex product is hypo-allergenic. These beds are ideal for people who suffer from asthma, allergies and other ailments.
Typically, beds are not associated with mold and mildew. Although, mold and mildew can easily be detected in traditional mattresses. Beds made from latex are mildew and mold resistant. Mold and mildew occur because of excessive heat and moisture. Naturally, if latex beds are mold and mildew resistant, that means that they are also heat and moisture-proof.
One of the biggest complaints that consumers have about memory foam mattresses is that they get hot in their sleep. This is because memory foam isn’t breathable, so it traps heat in. Latex mattresses, especially talalay latex, allows air to move freely. They are completely breathable and cool.
Dust mites love to live in mattresses, especially mattresses that haven’t been replaced (aka the old, dingy ones). The best thing about latex mattresses, in many people’s opinion, is that they are dust mite resistant.
How many times have you seen a commercial for a mattress that allows one partner to sleep uninterrupted by the movements of the other partner? This is not an uncommon feature of latex mattresses. Premium latex technology allows you to continue sleeping, even when your partner is moving.
As you can see, there are many benefits associated with latex mattresses. While other types of mattresses any have a few benefits, latex beds have many.
