All Natural Latex Mattresses Are Made From The Sap Of The Rubber Tree, still collected in coconut cups in the early hours of the morning.
Well, for one thing, wouldn't it be great if the stuff they make your mattress out of goes on to make more mattresses for decades instead of going to the landfills?
Also, wouldn't it be great if the stuff they make your mattress from is all natural, non-toxic, removes CO2 from the atmosphere and is totally bio-degradable?
Latex has a distinctly different feel from other mattress surfaces. It is highly elastic, buoyant, giving and yielding, while at the same time being very resilient. And because of this, latex is very comfortable -- supportive yet cushioning at the same time. Latex is perceived as "green" because people think all latex is made from natural rubber. The truth be told, only certain types of latex are really made from fluid collected by tapping the rubber tree -- the majority is made from petrochemicals (something I was astonished to find out). Finally, latex is a hot commodity because it is seen as a healthier alternative to synthetic bedding.
Latex mattresses works especially well on adjustable bases which is great for people with acid reflux disease, poor circulation, high blood pressure, breathing difficulties, people who just had surgery & sleep apnea. Where your head can get massage, raise your head, knees & feet up. Increase your circulation and give you that weightless feeling. It is good for your heart because it takes pressure off your major organs.
Latex is also naturally resistant to dust mites, without the enhancement of chemical pesticides. All natural latex will not take body impressions or form ridges in the middle, synthetic latex foam & memory polyurethane foam will. A mattress that has a lot of wool or padding will compress. This is why Savvy Rest is so great, it has very little padding & uses all natural latex so you don't get body impressions.
In sharp comparison, when you lay on a polyurethane foam mattress, you break open the cells, release toxic chemicals & the padding compresses. This is why the first thing that happens immediately is body impressions. The next thing you know is your mattress really didn't last as long as you expected. The combination of these factors has made latex the fastest growing segment in the mattress industry.
