"Many people prefer latex to foam because there aren't any harmful chemical compounds used in the production process. Latex is basically just baked rubber sap-the same stuff going into the tires of your car. Not only is it a natural alternative to memory foam, giving a nice amount of sink without the heat retention, you get a bouncy feel, which helps you move around a lot more easily if you switch between sleeping positions. (Or if you want some momentum during spicy time, wink, wink.)"
"Latex comes in three primary forms: Talalay, Dunlop, and latex foam. This refers essentially to the firmness of the finalized latex product. Talalay is the softest, Dunlop is the firmest, and latex foam is a less expensive alternative to solid latex. And that's before it's even built into a mattress. I know narrowing down your mattress options to just one can be overwhelming, and that's without even considering this additional detail."
Latex is a natural material harvested from rubber trees and is closely associated with organic mattresses. Many people prefer latex over memory foam because it avoids harmful chemical compounds and consists of baked rubber sap similar to car tires. Latex offers sink without the heat retention of memory foam and a bouncy feel that facilitates movement and changing positions. Latex appears in three main forms: Talalay (softest), Dunlop (firmest), and a lower-cost latex foam option. Firmness and construction choices influence mattress feel before assembly. Multiple models and configurations were tested to identify top latex mattress options, including organic and side-sleeper choices.
