​​​​​​Mattress toppers - Latex

A latex mattress topper is firmer compared to mattress toppers made from memory foam. This is because latex is a natural material derived from the rubber tree, with the extract being treated under heat and pressure to enhance elasticity. As such, latex mattress toppers are also more environmentally friendly to manufacture. Latex mattresses boast numerous beneficial attributes, one of which is being perforated with small holes throughout. These perforations help to adjust the firmness and breathability. The number and size of these holes significantly affect the firmness and also influence how much heat is dissipated through the mattress. Consequently, a latex mattress construction contributes to a more comfortable sleep temperature.

Different types of latex

Latex, extracted from rubber trees, is naturally ventilating and breathable. A latex mattress topper does not retain high temperatures, as the material disperses your body heat away. Therefore, if you tend to feel warm at night, a latex mattress topper is a preferable choice. The material offers firm support, and you'll notice that the mattress topper maintains its shape, 'pushing back' rather than yielding. This is beneficial for preventing or easing existing back pain, ensuring your spine remains in a neutral position throughout the night. When it comes to latex, there are various types - two being Talalay latex and natural latex.

Talalay latex
Talalay is a distinctive production method used for crafting the finest quality latex mattresses. This process guarantees the correct balance of air and rubber materials, resulting in the highest quality.

Natural latex
Natural latex is entirely natural and derived from rubber tree extract, found in several tropical regions. Natural latex is more adaptable than standard latex or foam, meaning mattresses made with natural latex typically enjoy a longer lifespan.

Remember the mattress protector

We always advocate the use of mattress protectors on mattress toppers, as they shield against sweat, dirt, and bacteria, thus prolonging the life of the toppers. A mattress protector is simple to maintain through washing, promoting a cleaner and healthier sleep environment.
