Latex foam is one of the popular materials for making modern mattresses. Elasticity, elasticity, wear resistance, breathability – all this makes the material comfortable to use. There is both natural latex, which is obtained from the foam sap of the Hevea tree, and artificial. Each option has its pros and cons, and varies in price.

Latex perfectly adapts to the curves of the body without squeezing the tissues and not affecting blood circulation. Thanks to the optimal temperature, sleeping on a latex mattress is equally pleasant both in winter and summer.

Our experts have studied the sleepwear market, and prepared an up-to-date ranking that includes the 6 best latex mattresses.

What to look for when choosing a latex mattress

1. Types of latex. Natural is labeled NRL and artificial is labeled S
   . Natural latex is quite expensive, so it is rare to find a mattress that uses only this type. Artificial is cheaper, but the service life of such material is much less. Often on sale there are mattresses with a combination of natural and artificial latex: manufacturers experiment with the ratio, creating interesting models with unique supporting properties.
2. Varieties.Latex mattresses can consist of monolithic blocks, of alternating thin plates. There are also models with a memory effect. The density of these products is 34-95cc. kg/m. Such latex mattresses fix the body in many points, so that maximum comfort is achieved during rest or sleep. Remember, the higher the density, the better the memory effect.
3. Bed size. The mattress you buy should fit snugly into the inner perimeter of the bed. Before going to the store to make measurements, so as not to make a mistake. It is not necessary to measure the mattress, on which you slept, because it could deform during use. If you receive a non-standard size with a difference of more than one centimeter, do not round down.
4. Stiffness.Different methods of latex fabrication produce a material of different rigidity. The stiffest one is usually used as a base, and the softer one serves as a topper. Stiffness is also achieved by layering, where latex plates are stacked on top of each other. You can find the suitable stiffness according to your own testing. Always lie and sit on the product you like before buying it. Buy only the model you feel most comfortable on. If you suffer from osteochondrosis or spinal curvature, you should consider models with extra stiffness, which will provide an additional layer of coconut coir. Remember that almost all modern mattresses have orthopedic properties, which do not depend on the hardness. If you have always slept on simple mattresses and you decide to get an orthopaedic one, it does not mean you have to buy the firmest one. On the contrary, choose the one you feel closest to the one you are used to sleeping on.
5. Load capacity per bed.The weight of the sleeper must not exceed the maximum allowed per bed. Latex mattresses are good, because they can withstand heavy loads (up to 200 kg), but the products with an independent block of springs are inferior in this case. Most models available in stores have a capacity up to 100-130kg, so they are suitable for a large proportion of people.If on the product will sleep two people with a big difference in weight, it is possible to buy a mattress with halves with different filling, so that each partner has the most suitable side, taking into account individual peculiarities.
