Eco Friendly Latex Mattresses
Natural Latex, a product of the rubber tree, is organic, renewable and sustainable. Contains no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). VOCs can off-gas and lead to health issues in those with a predilection to chemical sensitivities.
A unique characteristic of a natural Latex mattress is its ability to spring back to form and to provide an extraordinary surface that molds to your body’s every curve. Latex mattresses do not have the spring coils often associated with traditional mattresses– so waking up with pains and aches will be a thing of the past. Allergy sufferers will delight in knowing that natural latex mattresses are hypoallergenic. Natural latex is resistant to mildew, mold and dust mites. Natural latex is made of millions of self-ventilating interconnected cells giving the latex mattress the ability to keep you cool, comfortable and dry on even the hottest evenings.
Most eco friendly natural latex mattresses come with equally Green mattress covers. Depending on the mattress vendor the cover options may include: bamboo, wool, and cotton.
