Latex Mattresses

Latex mattresses have been popular in Europe for years but have only just begun to make an impact on the American market. Their availability is currently at its highest around the world and this type of mattress is slowly but surely gaining credibility. Consumer reports have spent little time on latex mattresses in the past but they are now being featured...  [REF Latex Mattress Reviews 2010]

Why Are Latex Mattresses So Different? 

Latex mattresses are very different from regular mattresses because they have two different systems going on within the one package. There is the layering system and the zone system. The former actually features layers made of different materials, from latex to memory foam to cotton, which is designed to give the owner a high level of comfort. The mattress will mould to the individual form and will move as he or she moves as well so you will never be uncomfortable. 

The zone system, on the other hand, offers extensive support. The zones are designed to offer the correct level of support to different areas of the body, so you will have one level of support under your shoulders and a completely different level of support under your hips. As a result of this amazing breakthrough and the comfort brought to the table by the layering system, you get an unparalleled mixture of support and comfort that few other types of mattress can replicate.

Also, a great video on the manufacturing process behind latex mattesses has been put together by Englander Sleep Products and it is worth the watch to better understand where latex comes from and how it is used in mattresses. 

Latex mattresses do have their distinct advantages over the competition, including the following: 

• Latex mattresses will last far longer than any other type of mattress out there today. It is durable, resilient and extremely hard wearing.
• The latex mattress offers support exactly where you need it because of the zone design. It will offer varying degrees of support depending on the different layers under various parts of the body.
• With no springs, you are not likely to get uncomfortable spots at any time whilst you have a latex mattress, unlike the sensation that you eventually get with a traditional mattress.
• The layering of the mattress ensures that you get a good night’s rest. You remain comfortable because the layers move with you and offer a degree of resilience that is not possible to achieve with other mattresses.

However, the list of positives above do not rule out the very real negatives there are, of which the first is the most important: 

• Many people have latex allergies and so this kind of bed would not be suitable for them in the slightest. In fact, owning latex mattresses can cause serious reactions for those allergic to the material.
• If the latex mattress is synthetic then it often has an odd smell to it. It does go away in time but it may put you off the mattress to begin with.
• Latex mattresses can be expensive, depending on the material used and the firmness of the mattress. Natural latex mattresses do cost that little bit more but do tend to be slightly more comfortable.

Gary - Pure Latex Bliss   | 202.156.10.13 | 2012-02-22 18:13:09 We have owned a Pure Latex Bliss mattress for 2 months. Wonderful comfortable mattress that supports your body without allowing you to sink into the mattress. Just like floating on a cloud. It is the 3rd mattress we slept on in our house since August 2011. The first mattress was a Tempurpedic cloud. Like sleeping on quicksand and my wife's back promptly went out. She has a bulging disk. Tempurpedic was Comfortable short term but impossible to move around on. The mattress had the memory foam smell and the hot sleeping many people complain about in reviews. Tempurpedic has a great return policy and we used it. Next came the Simmons Black Pillow Top. This was the top of the line Simmons bed. Mattress was $3,800. Within a month the mattress was starting to develop impressions in the pillow top. Not a good sign of durability. Comfort was okay but way oversold by Simmons. Thanks to the kindness of the Sleep Train Store we purchased the mattress from we returned the mattress and believe or not we got all our money back. Then we found the Pure Latex Bliss. Incredible is the only way to describe this mattress. Way undersold in the market place but the most wonderful bed ever made by an outstanding company that stands behind their product. Reply
