Latex Mattresses FAQs:

1. I have allergies, what would be good for me?  Natural Latex is inherently hypo-allergenic, anti-microbial, and dust mite resistant, making it perfect for allergy sufferers or anyone wanting to breathe fresh, clean air while they sleep. In addition, natural latex is breathable, keeping you warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.  It costs a little more, but in the long run, it will provide you with the perfect balance of comfort and support for years to come. Our latex is in the form of a foam. There have not been any reported cases of allergies to latex foam. People that are allergic to latex, are normally allergic to the type of latex used in making latex gloves.
2. What is Natural Latex: Derived from the heven brasiliensis, or the rubber tree, latex is the most naturally durable cushioning material available. Natural latex is made from a milky substance that drips from the rubber tree when the bark is slashed. The process does not hurt the tree. During production, the latex resin is whipped and then baked. The finished product is biodegradable.
3. Will it support my back? Latex dynamically conforms to you, providing superior support and pressure relief. By gently conforming to your every contour, latex provides superior back support and outstanding pressure relief. Relieving pressure reduces the tossing and turning that interrupts sleep and brings needed oxygen and nutrients to tired aching muscles.
4. Does the Latex Bed contain a spring system? The latex bed does not contain a spring system, it is similar to foam beds, but natural. The bed has a latex core that provides  good support for your back while still maintaining comfort.
5. What firmness? There are three levels of firmness: Soft, Medium, and Firm. The firmness level depends on your preference, weight and needs. If you have a bad back, it is better to have a medium to firm mattress. If you and your partner requires two different firmness levels, that is possible, but would require the bed to be custom made.
6. Odors with natural latex? All materials have an odor to them. Unless you are very sensitive to smells, you probably wont notice them in our latex beds. These odors are out-gassed over time.
7. Hand Made: All of our latex mattresses are hand crafted and sewn up by hand because that is the only correct way to make latex mattresses. Thickness may vary slightly because of the nature of hand crafting.  
8. Latex is naturally conforming to assure optimal orthopedic support in any sleep position. This helps your body alleviate high pressure areas that can cause you to toss and turn at night.

9. Type of Latex Used: Our latex is made by the Talalay process is used for superior quality. Starts with the natural white liquid taped from rubber trees, combined with water and whipped to a froth.
