Whenever we sleep, especially after a very tiring day, we would really want that relaxing feeling of comfort. Did you know that natural latex mattresses could give you that feeling? Not only would you enjoy comfort and relaxation, but natural latex mattresses also gives our bodies the proper support it needs throughout the entire length of our sleep. When you wake up in the morning no matter how long the duration of our sleep is, if the kind of sleep you have is not quality sleep, you wouldn’t feel so much energized. Natural latex mattress is the type of mattress that could provide us with our much needed quality sleep.
But how is natural latex really made or produced and from which source does naturally made latex come from? For those who do not have that much of an idea about natural latex, the material used to make it comes from rubber trees, “Hevea Brasiliensis” to be exact. This is the type of rubber tree wherein the raw form and the main ingredient of latex is extracted from. This raw form is the saps that come from this rubber tree. The saps are then carefully collected and processed to be made into natural latex.
Natural (Organic)
The organic latex mattress is basically made of processed tree sap, or serum, which is a sticky milky fluid found in the rubber tree. It is collected by a process called “tapping” which means incisions are made into the bark of the tree, the fluid then flows out and is collected ready to be refined using a chosen processing method. It is rare to find a 100% natural latex mattress for sale in retail outlets and showrooms because they are relatively expensive compared to other types due to the cost involved in extraction and manufacturing. If you’re after a natural latex mattress the ideal place to look is online as there will be much more choice and at much cheaper prices.
Synthetic (Man Made)
Synthetic means it’s a man made material, which is made by polymerizing a monomer such as styrene that has been emulsified with surfactants. The result is a material that behaves in a similar way to the organic material mentioned above. The synthetic option is widely available and much cheaper than the natural alternative but has a shorter durability and is not as firm.
Blended (Mixed)
Blended is literally a mixture of organic and synthetic; usually 80% synthetic and 20% organic, however the mixture could also be a 50% equal mix, but to cut costs, most commonly the synthetic part makes up the majority. Beware of some manufacturers who claim to be selling a blended latex foam mattress but don’t quote the percentage of natural content. The blended type is common, relatively cheap, and offers a good balance of the two aforementioned types in terms of build quality, durability and value for money.
