Natural Latex Mattresses – Green Innovations at Home

A latex foam mattress can be eco friendly. Natural latex foam is made with rubber tree sap and is 100% organic – so if you want a “green” mattress, this is the one to choose. In addition to being a green choice, natural latex foam mattresses have other positives to consider.

When you are looking for a comfortable, yet firm and supportive mattres, latex foam is known for bouyancy and elasticity. You can easily have comfort and support in this type of mattress – whether you have a bad back or other health concerns that make sleeping difficult or uncomfortable. Better yet, latex foam mattresses are naturally hyp0-allergenic, anti-bacterial and unattractive to dust mites. If you have allergies, this is a mattress for you.

As an industry standard requirement, most mattresses still have to have fire retardent added to them. So while natural latex foam may be green, the chemicals in fire retardant are still toxic and could be a health concern. It is always wise to ask if fire retardant has been added to your latex foam mattress or latex foam toppers.
