What is a latex mattress?
A latex mattress is made from latex, a flexible material that is either harvested from the rubber tree (natural latex) or produced through chemical processes (synthetic latex). Some mattresses combine the two for the best balance between price and quality. Latex is known for its elasticity and adaptability, which makes it perfect for pressure relief and support.
Key features of latex mattresses:
- Elasticity: latex moulds itself to the contours of your body and quickly returns to its original shape.
- Pressure distribution: the material spreads your weight evenly, which is ideal for sensitive pressure points such as the shoulders and hips.
- Breathability: thanks to its open-cell structure, a latex mattress stays cool and fresh.
- Hypoallergenic: latex naturally resists mould, bacteria and house dust mites, which makes it a good choice for allergy sufferers.
