Latex Mattresses Provide a Great Green Sleep Solution

If you are looking for an eco-friendly alternative to a traditional innerspring mattress, consider buying a natural latex mattress. Natural latex, which is made from the sap of the rubber tree, is a renewable, sustainable resource. The sap is collected from the trees and placed in large mold, where it is emulsified and vulcanized into the flexible product you see in mattresses. Most latex mattresses also contain additional layers of wool or cotton on top of the latex base. Our latex mattresses contain organic cotton and wool, making them 100% natural and from renewable sources.

Other than the environmental properties, there are lots of other great reasons to choose latex. Latex mattresses are quite comfortable and don't bunch or sag like some traditional innerspring mattresses can. Because latex provides a sleep surface that is both firm and has flexibility, many people who have pain issues or are unable to get comfortable find them a great alternative and a source of a good night's rest. Natural latex, as opposed to synthetic varieties is also naturally hypo-allergenic and resistant to bacteria and dust mites. Since it is a natural product, there are also fewer concerns with "off-gassing" (the smells some people report) or sleeping hot that some people experience with memory foam.

When choosing a latex mattress, it's important not to skim on quality and to take your time to choose the mattress that's best for you. There are a variety of thicknesses and levels of firmness available and even versions that can be used with adjustable beds. Purchasing this type of mattress should be seen as an investment in yourself, in a good night's sleep and a positive way to impact the long term effects our spending can have on the environment. If you are looking to green up your bedtime, there is no better way to do so than with a latex mattress.
