Natural Latex

After we researched the options for mattress core material, all-natural latex was our natural choice. Here's why it may be yours, too.

Purity

True natural latex, with no synthetic latex or fillers blended in, will not expose you or your loved ones to off-gassing toxic chemicals. It also will not harbor dust mites, which cannot live in the foam's cell structure.

Comfort

For comfortable sleep, you need a responsive surface for pressure relief and appropriate support for your spine and your shape. Natural latex is so versatile it can meet all of these needs.

With a customizable, layered design, a natural latex mattress can be made very soft, very firm or a wide range of choices in between--even on different sides.
Unlike other foams, natural latex breathes. Moisture and heat will not build up in the interior of the foam.

Latex does not transfer motion the way most innersprings do, so you can say goodnight to bouncing in your partner's wake.

Sustainability

Natural latex is made from the pure sap of the rubber tree, also called rubber serum. After the serum is collected, the tree's bark heals rapidly. Rubber trees can yield latex for as long as 30 years. When the trees are harvested, the land is replanted. Rubberwood is one of the hardest and most recommended furniture woods, according to the Sustainable Furnishings Council.

After many (many) years, natural latex will simply biodegrade. Conceivably, you could even put it in a compost pile.

Durability

Most natural latex mattresses last as long as two or three conventional mattresses, while keeping their shape and wonderful resilience.
