Mattress Comparison - Natural Latex Mattress and Memory Foam Mattress

A natural and organic latex mattress can last up to twenty five years and it can reduce shoulder, neck and back pain and improve the quality of your sleep. Lack of sleep has been linked to obesity, heart disease and low immune response so never underestimate the importance of a good rest.

An organic latex mattress will stop you from tossing and turning while trying to find a comfortable position because simply sleeping on a natural latex mattress is comfort in itself. You can choose from difference firmness levels, like with memory foam.

Natural latex is made from about 95% natural rubber. The rest is curing and vulcanization factors like fatty acid soaps, sulfur, sodium and zinc oxide. Any added chemicals are washed out in the final production process stages so you will get a 99% natural rubber mattress.

There is not a clear cut answer, when looking at latex mattress and memory foam mattress because both are very high quality products.

Memory foam is made of millions of open cells, which are like balloons with holes in. When you lie on a memory foam mattress, the air moves between the open cells, allowing the foam to support you, relieve pressure points and contour around your individual body shape.

A natural latex mattress also has an open-cell structure, which means it bounces back into shape when you change position or get off the bed. This structure also allows the air to circulate around you, keeping you warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Mattresses are largely down to personal opinion. Some people would never want anything except a memory foam mattress and others would not swap their latex mattress for any other.

Both types of mattress come in different sizes and different firmness so whether you choose a top quality latex or memory foam mattress you are going to have many comfortable nights of sleep ahead of you.
