The Curious Bag
-
Natural latex is a milky fluid that's drawn from rubber trees by tapping them as you would a maple tree for syrup. The biodegradable fluid has been used to make beds since the 1950s.
Time Frame
When they are properly maintained (it's recommended you use a waterproof barrier), latex beds can last for at least 20 years.
Better Rest
Latex doesn't transfer motion, so when your partner rolls over or changes positions, you won't feel it. The material also prevents painful pressure points from forming while you sleep.
Allergy Relief
Latex beds are resistant to dust mites, as well as mildew and mold, making them more comfortable for allergy sufferers to sleep on.
Cooler
People who get hot or sweaty when they sleep may prefer latex beds. Latex dissipates body heat, and when used with cotton sheets with a thread count of less than 500, the beds can feel cooler at night.
Natural
If you are sensitive to synthetic materials or prefer environmentally friendly products, latex is a viable bedding alternative. However, check to see how the latex was processed, since some companies may add chemicals to make the foam.
