Natural latex mattresses have gained popularity in recent years due to their superior comfort and support, durability, eco-friendly credentials, and overall great value. Synthetic latex mattresses and blended latex mattresses have followed suit, entering the market.
As a consumer, it's crucial to understand the differences in qualities and performance between types of latex mattresses to make informed purchasing decisions.
Natural Latex: Natural latex is a milky white liquid extracted from the Hevea Brasiliensis tree, commonly known as the rubber tree. It offers superior comfort, excellent support, resilience, breathability, durability, and possesses hypoallergenic and antimicrobial properties. Made with latex harvested from nature with minimal added inorganic chemicals, it's free from toxic chemicals, VOCs, and odors.
Synthetic Latex: Synthetic latex, derived from Styrene Butadiene (SBR), is made from fossil fuels and is non-renewable. It lacks the comfort, support, resilience, and durability of natural latex. Synthetic latex mattresses have inferior properties, including poorer resilience and durability, stronger odors, and off-gassing concerns. They are priced lower but leave a significant carbon footprint and require frequent replacement.
Blended Latex: Blended latex foam combines natural and synthetic latex to balance production costs and performance. Despite containing natural latex, blended latex foam can't match the performance of all-natural latex foam. Some blended latex products may be marketed deceptively as "100% natural latex" or "contains natural latex," so it's essential to verify the composition.
