Latex Foam Beds - The Pros and Cons

Latex foam is becoming a more popular mattress material these days, taking its place where coil springs used to be. A lot of consumers are wondering whether they should make the switch. If you are experiencing sleep problems due to your mattress, you may be wondering the same thing.

Before going ahead and buying a new latex mattress, make sure to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of buying a mattress made of latex foam.

Advantages of Latex Foam Beds

The firmness and softness of latex foam is ideal for those who suffer from bodily aches and pains. It simply has the right density. It is springy so it pushes back against the body, providing support. But it also conforms to the curves of the body, providing soft comfort. Natural latex foam is a sustainable material, so the use of it in making mattresses is friendly to the environment. Organic latex is also available, which is free from chemicals. It can protect from harsh allergens as well as bacteria, molds, and fungi. Latex mattresses are the most breathable of all foam mattresses. Unlike memory foam, which retains a lot of heat, latex allows air to circulate freely through the material, keeping you comfortable all through the night. Latex is also very durable. It has impressive resilience in bouncing right back to its original shape. It is not vulnerable to body impressions and sagging, even if it conforms to your curves every night. Latex mattresses can give you a comfortable sleep for up to 20 years, especially if you buy from the right manufacturers. The cells of the foam are independently constructed from one another. Because of this, there is little motion transfer in latex beds. If you have a bed partner, you can sleep soundly without feeling his or her every move.

Disadvantages of Latex Foam Mattresses

The major disadvantage of latex mattresses is the price. Latex is turning out to be the most expensive type of mattress around. However, if you break down the price into the number of years the durable mattress serves you, you might actually realize that latex foam is still a good deal. Although latex is free from chemicals and doesn't make us vulnerable to chemical allergens, there are people who are allergic to latex itself. However, some companies have started removing the protein content found in the latex foam. This protein is said to be the trigger for the allergies. This has lessened the problem a bit. Some people tend to be very meticulous with the details, and they have noticed that latex mattresses usually have glued seams. This is actually true because the Talalay latex method can only produce latex foam in sections. So the manufacturers have to glue the foam together. This does not really help improve the durability of the mattress and can also cause discomfort if one happens to sleep directly on top of the glued seams.

Now that you've heard both the good and the bad, it's up to you to make a wise and informed decision.
