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.

Natural Latex Mattress

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

Natural Latex Mattress

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.

Memory Foam Mattress - Should I Get a Soft or Firm Bed?

The most important factor for selecting a mattress is personal comfort. If a bed feels good, then it will largely contribute to better sleep and a healthful sleeping position. However, many shoppers go about searching for a new mattress with preconceived notions about what they "should" be looking for.

Natural Latex Mattress

The medical community often gives confusing advice. Some doctors say a firm mattress is better for support and some say a softer mattress is better. But this advice is contradictory and too simplistic to be helpful. Firmness is not directly related to proper support or comfort, so the advice is not as helpful as it could be. Good advice would say to get a mattress that:

Natural Latex Mattress

Reduces pressure points - evenly distributes pressure across the surface of your body, not just the heavy parts of your body.Keeps your spine in a neutral position - supports your inward body curves (neck, lower back) as well as your outward body curves (hips, shoulders), maintaining a natural body position.Feels comfortable to you - Your body is smart; It knows that personal comfort will naturally contribute to healthful sleep and a natural body position. At the top of a long list of health benefits for latex and memory foam mattresses is their ability to reduce pressure points and give proper support. Foam beds contour to the shape of your body, reducing pressure points better than almost any other type of sleep surface.

Foam mattresses come in varying firmness levels based upon the firmness of the foam used to make the mattress and how the bed is constructed. Both latex and memory foam mattresses are made up from 2 or more layers of foam. The top layer is soft, contouring to your body and offering gentle support. The lower layer or layers provide firm support, maintaining your healthful body position.

How Foam Firmness and Support is Measured Foam firmness is measured in units called ILD's (Initial Load Deflection). Most latex and memory foam mattresses have top layers from 10 - 20 ILD. Foam ILD is a measure (in pounds) of the resistance foam offers when a large, flat plate is pushed into a block of foam 25% of its total depth. In other words, it measure how firm/soft the surface of a foam block feels. Higher ILD is firmer and lower ILD is softer.

The support of a foam bed is expressed as "support value," and is derived from 2 numbers: 25ILD and 65ILD. 25ILD measures the resistance at 25% of the depth of foam and 65ILD measures the resistance at 65% of the depth of a piece of foam. By dividing 25ILD into 65ILD, you get the support value. Support value tells you how well a piece of foam will support you when you lay down on it. Will it keep your spine in a neutral position, or will it completely compress and let you hips sink too far into the mattress and bump on the harder base layers?

Buy What You Like It is becoming more common for retailers to have ILD firmness values available at the retail level. This is helpful when considering the beds from one manufacturer. But there is not an apples to apples to comparison between one manufacturer and another. Support value is not available at the retail level, and again, it would not help compare beds between different makers, so it's not a good comparison tool.

The important thing to understand is that both soft and firm latex or memory foam mattresses are capable of providing optimal support. Foam firmness level is not a direct indicator of support. The one you chose should make you look forward to going to sleep at night.

An Overview - Talalay Latex Mattress Vs Memory Foam Mattress

Every single people have their own differences. Some vary in attitudes, personalities, looks, virtues and even sleeping needs and sleeping patterns. That is why you should get the quality of sleep that your bodies need in order to wake up into a refreshed and recharged morning. And what better ways to achieve that quality sleep than by having a very good and suitable mattress for you.

Natural Latex Mattress

Regarding mattresses, the Talalay mattress and Memory foam mattress are somewhat becoming rivals in their own way. People often debate on the issue on what mattress is better. The reason behind this is that some people just do not know yet all of the aspects and properties of these mattresses. Maybe now is the time that you would be enlightened regarding these mattresses.

Natural Latex Mattress

Similarities

Let's start off with their similarities. Both mattresses have similar support systems and both mattresses also have foam-like materials. But when weight is already applied to both mattresses, they respond differently. The Talalay latex mattress sinks into a shape of your body that applies weight on it unlike the memory foam mattress.

The Talalay mattress is also more natural in terms of source and quality compared to memory foam mattresses. This is because that Talalay latex mattress are made by collecting saps from rubber trees and then processed to become its latex component. This makes the Talalay mattress earth-friendly. It has a longer lifespan compared to memory foam mattress, it is also biodegradable. In addition to this, Talalay latex mattresses are resistant to molds, bacteria and mildew making it very hypoallergenic.

Difference

There is a very huge difference of when we compare it with the Memory foam mattress. The fact that memory foam mattresses are made from petroleum based materials already shows that big difference. Due to this, memory foam mattresses have a higher toxicity level compared to Talalay latex mattresses and it really gives that unpleasant smells upon unwrapping the mattress.

With those things taken into consideration, it would really be a huge difference in terms of comfort of sleeping on the mattresses. But after some time, that unpleasant odor from new memory foam mattresses would just disappear.

Another difference between the two mattresses is the feeling it gives you when you lie down on it. Lying down on a Talalay latex mattress is like lying down on very high quality sponge foam. The Talalay mattress "sinks down" and follows the contour of the body that applies weight on the mattress. While the memory foam mattress give you a "push up" feeling especially on the spaces or gaps between your body parts (between your legs, between you fingers) that apply pressure on the mattress. This is due to the difference in density of both mattresses. The type of density that a memory foam mattress has allows it to have a more granular response to weight and compression on it. But there is no question towards both mattresses when it comes to being "breathable".

Both mattresses deliver exceptional comfort in giving people in terms of being breathable. When the weather is hot, the mattresses give you a cooling feeling when you lay down on in. And during the chilly days, memory foam and Talalay mattresses would keep you warm and comfortable.

Each person is unique and has different needs, so it is really up to the preference of a consumer on what type of mattress he or she wants according to the specs that the consumer wants. So just choose the type of mattress that could fit your budget, and would fit to the type of personality and sleeping comfort that you want.

Latex Mattress

Use of mattresses to ease our body constrains from day to day work pressure and desire to sleep comfortably and relaxed without any sort of disturbance. After a day filled with stress, sitting on a chair in one posture and working continuously each and every person wants a relaxed and sound sleep. Thus mattresses should be comfortable enough.

Natural Latex Mattress

Latex mattresses are popular spring mattresses used commonly by athletes and have a good quality of no flip. Flipping is not required with latex mattresses. Latex mattresses have a beneficial property of being warm in winter and cool in summers. An emulsion of polymer micro particles in an aqueous medium is Latex. It may either be natural or synthetic. Latex in its natural form is the milky sap of many plants that has the tendency to coagulate on exposure to air and is biodegradable.

Natural Latex Mattress

Latex is very long lasting and does not sustain molds, bacteria, mildews and other microorganisms. They are thrice more impervious to microbes than other ordinary mattresses. It is made up of proteins, sugars, oils, tannins, resins, alkaloids, starches and gums. Latex can be in variety of colours such as white, yellow, orange and even scarlet. It is also used to refer to natural latex rubber; particularly for non-vulcanized rubber. Synthetically polymerizing a monomer that has been emulsified with surfactants leads to the formation of artificial latex. The laticiferous system of plants found in roots or stem of plants contains latex in cells and vessels. The latex of many plant species can be processed to produce other materials.

Latex provides the commercially popular natural rubber as the most important product. Primarily, our latex choice can be either NaturalSense or Talalay process latex. These both types of latex result in long lasting and more resilient latex. NaturalSense latex is 100% natural and therefore has achieved the perfect resilience and longevity, while the Talalay Latex contains a mixture of synthetic and natural latex. Natural talalay is also available in market but is more expensive.A quality innerspring latex mattress should last long, be durable, strong, insect resistant and anti-sagging. Latex Mattress is perfect for the ultimate combination of luxury and practicality. All natural Latex Mattresses are multi-layered with enhanced support.

Latex mattress customarily adjusts to the contours of our body, providing comfortable orthopedic support thereby maintaining proper alignment of spinal cord without impacting capillary blood flow restriction. Latex has a major drawback as it is allergen and might cause anaphylactic shocks. Residues of other components used for processing of latex also act as possible allergens and cause reactions known as multiple chemical sensitivity.

Mattress Antenna for Cancer

You would be aware of the adverse impacts of the mattress antenna if you are a regular health conscious person. Recently, the damage caused by the coiled mattress has come forward to millions of Americans who have been in belief that the same mattresses provide a sound sleep and a great amount of relaxation. However, their thoughts have ceased to exist recently as medical researchers have brought into light the adverse effects of the same. While you may be wondering how these mattresses could be proved harmful to you, you need to know about the techniques when and how an antenna coiled mattress can affect you in the long run.

Natural Latex Mattress

The main culprit that incurs several health complexities is the metal antenna like coils that are being used during the manufacturing of the mattress. Reports reveal that the metal of the coils intrinsically attract and amplifies too harmful radiation from the nearby television, radio and even FM channels. This electro-magnetic ray can be quite harmful for a person as the body of a person could be badly damaged due to the persistent usage of the coil mattress. As a direct impact this type of electro-magnetic rays hinders the production of melatonin to a great extent. Now, if you ask me why melatonin is important for our body, then let me enlighten you that it is a highly important agent that is responsible for growing anti-oxidants and the anti-cancer agents too. From this, you can easily get hold that how much you can be affected by these antenna coiled mattresses thereby. In fact great amount medical researches now establish that premature ageing and growth of breast cancer is highly accelerated by using these kinds of mattresses. Further, you would be wondered knowing that this anti-cancer agent is best generated in our body only during the night time when we are sleeping. Apart from the said factors, melatonin is also responsible for providing protection against harmful virus for keeping out immunity system fit and fine.

Natural Latex Mattress

Now after knowing so many adverse effects of antenna mattress, you must be interested in knowing how you can avoid this disorder effectively. The answer is switch over to organic mattresses. These natural latex mattresses do not have spring support and for this they are completely safe. You can be rest assured that there will be no internal effect for the same. You can sleep without fear and doubt and it is obviously quite healthy for a long healthy life.
