Latex mattresses are establishing themselves as the number one mattresses when it comes to comfort, quality of sleep and advantages.
If you want to know about them and why latex is the new sleeping business wonder, read on.
Lates is a material that can be found in nature in form of rubber.
It comes from a tree, the Hevea tree.
Latex rubber is vulcanized to make it resistant.
In fact a latex mattress can resist for a very long time, a quality one can last up to 30 years.
So, even if latex mattresses are a bit more expensive than other kind of mattresses, on the long term you're investing your money.
As many natural material, latex is sustainable and recycling it is very easy.
If you're concerned about the environment and eco-friendly, this is a must choice for you.
Another advantage that comes from the fact of being natural is that latex is hypoallergenic, that is it causes less allergic reactions; this is very important for people suffering asthma, the quality of their sleep will increase dramatically.
Last but not least latex is a transpiring material, that is no mold will affect your mattress.
All latex mattress have holes that have a triple function:

1. Make the mattress more comfortable, the bigger the holes, the softer the mattress.
   
2. Let the mattress "breathe" and be transpiring, avoiding mold and humidity.
   
3. Allow air circulation, making the mattress hotter in winter and colder in summer.
   

Latex Mattresses don't need to be flipped, thanks to the third function there is no "summer side" and "winter side" and don't need to be flipped because even if a much bigger person sleeps on one side the mattress won't bend.
However if you want to make really sure you can do it every once in a while.
Be careful because a latex mattress is really heavy and you'll need help to flip it.
The best you can do for your latex mattress to make it even more comfortable is buy a latex pillow.
Latex pillows are just like the mattresses: resistant, eco-friendly, transpiring and hypoallergenic.
This last advantage is very important, remember your respiratory ways are in strict contat with the pillow, so if you suffer from respiratory problems a latex mattress can be good for you but a latex mattress and a latex pillow can do wonder.
Latex pillows come in many shapes, sizes and consistency, so to adapt to your sleeping habits.
It seems latex is just advantages and in many aspects this is true.
If I had to find a disadvantage I would say the price.
Latex mattress are not cheap.
The best ones actually can be quite expensive, but you will agree with me anyway, for all the reasons explained above, that is really good spent money.
