What is a natural latex mattress?
A natural latex mattress is a design that utilises mattress layers made from the sap of a rubber tree. It is then vulcanised, or heated, to create a durable material that can be used in mattresses. Latex is a hypoallergenic material resistant to dust mites, mould, and mildew. Latex is also a very bouncy material, making it ideal for people who want a firm mattress. Natural latex mattresses are also very durable, won’t trap heat, and can last many years due to their high-quality materials.
What are the pros and cons of natural latex mattresses?
There are several pros and cons of natural latex mattresses to consider before making a purchase.
Pros:
- Natural latex is extremely durable and can last up to 20 years with proper care.
- It is also very supportive, conforming to the contours of your body to provide excellent orthopaedic support and pressure relief.
- Latex is also a very breathable material and won’t trap body heat, so they keep you cool and comfortable all night long.
Cons:
- Natural latex mattresses can be quite expensive, although they are often worth the investment.
- They can also be difficult to find, as not all stores carry them.
- Latex can also be a bit too firm for some people, although this can often be alleviated by adding a latex topper.
If you are looking for an extremely durable, supportive and comfortable mattress, then a natural latex mattress may be the right choice for you.

Are your natural latex mattresses better than normal latex mattresses?
There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on individual preferences and needs. Some people prefer natural latex mattresses because they are made from sustainable materials and are dust mite resistant. Others find that normal latex mattresses are just as comfortable and provide adequate support.
The best latex mattress featuring all-natural latex layers may be more costly than normal latex mattresses, but the benefits far outweigh any price difference, in our opinion. If you are looking for an eco-friendly and luxurious mattress, then a natural latex mattress is the best option.

What is a latex topper used for?
A latex topper is used for two purposes: to provide additional support and comfort for the body and to protect the mattress from wear and tear. Latex is a naturally durable material that will not break down over time like other materials, so it is an ideal material for a mattress topper.
Additionally, latex conforms to the body, providing support and relieving pressure points. This makes it a great option for people who suffer from back pain or other conditions that can be aggravated by a traditional mattress. Chiropedic offers a variety of latex toppers to choose from, so you can find the perfect one for your needs.
How long does a natural latex mattress last?
Latex mattresses last longer than virtually all other type of mattress, up to 20 years in many cases. This often exceeds the longevity of mattresses made from other materials by a decade or more.
How do latex mattresses differ from spring and memory foam mattresses?
Latex mattresses are natural mattresses made from natural latex rubber, which is extracted from rubber trees. They are then vulcanised or heated and treated to make them stronger and more durable. Latex mattresses are known for their high level of comfort and support, as well as their ability to contour to the body. This makes them a good choice for people with back pain or other body aches. They are also hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, mould, and mildew, making them a good choice for people with allergies. Latex mattresses can be more expensive than other types of mattresses but are typically longer-lasting.
Spring mattresses are the traditional type of mattress, and they are made with coils or springs that provide support. They come in a variety of mattress 'feels' or softness from firm to soft, depending on the number of coils and the amount of padding, and they may not be as comfortable as latex or memory foam mattresses for some people. Spring mattresses are generally less expensive than latex mattresses, but they may not last as long.
Memory foam mattresses are made with a type of foam that conforms to the body and provides support. Memory foam mattresses often have a very soft feel and may be more comfortable than spring or latex mattresses for some people. However, memory foam mattresses can retain heat, making them uncomfortable for some people in warm climates. Memory foam mattresses can also be more expensive than other types of mattresses, but they may last longer.
How long do natural latex mattresses last?
Natural latex mattresses are incredibly durable and long-lasting. In fact, most latex mattresses can last up to 20 years with proper care and maintenance. That said, it's important to keep in mind that everyone's usage and sleeping habits are different, so some people may find that their mattress lasts a bit shorter or longer than average.
