subject: Latex Bedding Offers Many Healthy Benefits [print this page] Latex bedding has become quite popular in recent years due to the upsurge of interest in natural, organic, eco friendly products for the home. Even though materials such as memory foam and synthetic latex material are still often used to produce various types of mattresses, toppers and mattress pads, natural latex bedding is growing in demand by people who value quality, healthy bedding accessories.
But why is latex bedding a better choice for a sleep surface than other types of conventional fibers used to make bedding products? There are several good reasons to consider using natural latex bedding rather than conventional bedding.
Pure latex mattress toppers, mattresses, mattress pads, and pillows are naturally nonallergenic to most users. Dust mites literally cannot survive in the dense cells of the material, so those who suffer from dust allergies need never worry about a build up of dust mites on this sleep surface. Also, the material is antibacterial and antimicrobial, which makes it difficult for mold and mildew to grow in the fibers.
Third, it is also chemical free because the Dunlop and Talalay process of making latex does not include adding binders or fillers to it at any point. Also, there are no flame retardants or other chemicals laced in the finished product.
Finally, comfort, body support and durability are additional benefits to choosing latex bedding products over sleep accessories on the market. If you suffer from joint aches and pains, fibromyalgia or injuries, you will find supreme comfort and support when you rest on latex products. And you don't have to worry about latex bedding wearing out any time soon either, since a good quality latex product can last as long as 60 years with only minor, common sense maintenance.
