Latex mattresses have the reputation of being among the best on the market because of their many advantages.

There are two types of latex: natural latex and synthetic latex.

Natural latex is obtained from the bark of the rubber tree, an organic material, while synthetic latex is made from petroleum derivatives.

It is recommended to choose a natural latex mattress to benefit from all its advantages, such as its excellent elasticity, its natural thermoregulation and its hypoallergenic action.

Where does natural latex come from?

The rubber tree is cultivated mainly in Asia, Africa and South America. Producers harvest the plant's juice by making cuts in the tree's bark, then process it to obtain latex, a soft and elastic material.

Natural latex is considered a healthy and environmentally friendly material because it is obtained from a renewable plant source and does not require the use of chemicals.

Benefits of natural latex:

Natural latex mattresses offer excellent comfort due to their unique softness and elasticity. The elastic structure of latex wraps around the sleeper's body, adapting perfectly to its contours, while providing firm support.

Natural latex mattresses are also highly resilient, allowing them to return to their original shape day after day.

The natural thermoregulation of latex is also an advantage, as it helps maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the night. This thermoregulation can be optimized by perforating the latex block to facilitate air flow through the mattress.

What about latex allergies?

It is true that some people can be allergic to latex, but this is a minority of the population.

100% natural latex is generally considered hypoallergenic, however it is possible for a person with a latex allergy to react to products containing traces of latex.

The perforated structure of natural latex has antiperspirant and antibacterial properties, which helps reduce the risk of allergies. People with a history of latex allergies are advised to consult a physician before using a natural latex mattress.

What are the sleeping qualities of a natural latex mattress?

Natural latex mattresses offer excellent elasticity and sleeping independence, allowing couples to sleep without being disturbed by each other's movements.

Latex conforms to the body contours and weight of the sleeper, so that a 50 kg or 90 kg person will have the same flexibility and firm support. There are also latex mattresses combined with other natural materials such as coconut fibre that offer firm support and a soft feel. They are particularly suitable for babies because the coconut fiber offers a firm support, while the natural latex offers a soft comfort. The combination of the two natural materials is therefore ideal for newborns. 

Natural latex mattresses are considered healthy sleepers, as they do not require chemical treatment unlike synthetic latex mattresses.

To fully enjoy the benefits of natural latex mattresses and a 100% natural sleep, it is recommended to choose a latex mattress with a removable cover so that the cover can be washed to eliminate dust mites and bacteria.

It is also recommended to use organic cotton sleeping accessories to complete the quality of your sleep or that of your mini.
