Sleep on latex - Here’s why!

Sleep on latex: because it is simply that comfortable!

People choose latex for many reasons. The first and most obvious reason is that it is that comfortable. But hold on a minute - isn’t comfort subjective? Yes, it is. However, there are some things that near to everybody will agree on to be uncomfortable. Let’s take an extreme example to illustrate our case. Imagine a mattress made of nothing other than stone. Is it fair to believe that the majority of people say a stone mattress is uncomfortable? We think so!

Talalay latex mattresses, on the other hand, have an impeccable customer satisfaction score. However, this argument is only persuasive enough when you have been to a retail store. You need to try one out for yourself. Here is a fantastic store finder for those who are interested to sleep on latex.

Once you decide to go, remember also that there are two different types of latex mattresses. One is Dunlop latex and the other is Talalay latex. The latter is superior in many ways to Dunlop. We also have a fantastic article about exactly that right here if you are interested! Also, make sure that the latex you lie on is natural - not synthetic or a blend!

Sleep on latex: because it is the green mattress

Would you prefer to sleep on petrochemicals or milk? That is essentially the question you will have to ask yourself. Pure natural latex is derived from the rubber tree. There are many types of latex which are either blended or also synthetic. We advise opting for the purely natural product. This is because synthetic products are usually either purely made of or mixed with hazardous chemicals. This can range from anything such as fillers, additives, flame retardants and so on. That will truly defeat the purpose of having a green mattress. Instead, you will find yourself sleeping on a “fake” green mattress.

Apart from additional comfort, sleeping on a green mattress will be good for your mental health. This is because you will simply feel better and healthier knowing that you are sleeping on nature. Rather than petrochemicals! Let’s put it in other words, shall we? Would you prefer to eat a yogurt with real bananas or banana concentrate?

We have a great article here talking about how green a Vita Talalay latex mattress topper and all other products are. Give it a read if you like!

Sleep on latex: because it is the healthy choice for humans

Once again, we would like to highlight that we solely speak of pure natural Vita Talalay latex here. This is because it is the healthy choice when it comes to Talalay latex mattresses, toppers, and pillows. Vita Talalay produces the whole range of bedding items you need at home to sleep healthy. The reason here is because Vita Talalay latex products do not contain any artificial (and hazardous) chemicals. This includes anything from additives, fillers, flame retardants, and so on. In fact, we are able to prove in numerous ways that our product is healthy for humans.  This is also true for the environment. We will get to the environmental part a bit later.

Sleep on latex: because it does not off-gas

Natural Talalay latex products do not off-gas at all. Usually, synthetic products tend to release microparticles into the air which can be bad for your health. This is because there are many petrochemicals in the comfort materials. But be careful! This also includes the blended and synthetic versions of latex. The first time you will be in contact with these particles is when you remove the packaging. Immediately a smell and sometimes even visible particles burst into the air.  These particles are more than unpleasant as they can cause immense damage to your health. Be smart and sleep on latex!

Sleep on latex: because it is the healthy choice for the environment

Latex mattresses are great for the environment since mattresses are usually problematic. There are two phases in which a mattress will impact the environment. That is during the production and finally during its disposal.

As we can only speak of Vita Talalay latex products, we will illustrate here how our production is even helpful for the environment. This is because we have made sure to take up more CO2 than we produce during the production of Vita Talalay latex. In addition, we have also made sure to use green and clean energy. In fact, we are now proud to say that we fully run on such energy. Furthermore, we have also always made sure to not let any water go to waste. We have a full article on this as well. Simply click here if you are interested!

Now, in terms of recycling, natural products are much easier to decompose than synthetic ones. That is a well-known fact. However, the state of Talalay latex in its final form does take more time than we actually like it. This is why we are currently developing a new way of making used Talalay latex products back to natural latex. We will keep you up to date on this, of course!

Sleep on latex: because it is hypo-allergenic

Did you know that natural latex mattresses are hypo-allergenic by nature? In fact, they are fully resistant to dust mites, bed bugs, and numerous allergies. This makes the decision to sleep on latex easy for those who have these issues. This is especially true for those who unfortunately suffer from asthma!

When you sleep on latex, you will not have to worry about common mattress issues. This includes mold and fungi which usually come over time. They are also the allergens which cause most of the attacks among family members.

All of this is thanks to the fact that Talalay latex is highly breathable. The round, open-cell structure allows optimal airflow. Unwanted micro guests in your bedding will not have a chance this way as they need dark and damp spots to thrive. The breathable comfort material will always make sure that you sleep dry and ultimately without the insects! There is no other comfort material that has this feature without the additionally required chemicals. In turn, this means that they are not as healthy as they seem - even if they are advertised to people with allergies!

Sleep on latex: because it is pressure relieving

If you sleep on latex, you will quickly realize that it has fantastic pressure relief. This will contribute highly to your sleep quality, allowing you to wake up refreshed. Vita Talalay latex even goes a step further, as it is soft yet supportive. Although this is usually a paradox in the industry, the unique production process makes it all possible. At the end of the day, the round open cells are what allows this to happen. You will have optimal blood flow while you sleep, and at the same time, you will allow your body to rejuvenate.

This allows for your back, hips, knees, shoulders, and posture to get the rest they need. Remember that they have carried you the whole day! In order to ensure these properties, however, you will definitely have to opt for pure natural Talalay latex. Although other types of latex, such as Dunlop latex, are already great in this area, Vita Talalay latex is simply the cherry on top of the cake. Once again, it is very difficult to put the feeling into words, but you will be able to surely feel the difference one you lay on one. Many describe it as if you are sleeping on air.

Sleep on latex: because if you choose Vita Talalay latex, you sleep ergonomic

Many may know the term ergonomic from their office chair or other items. However, you may be unfamiliar with ergonomic bedding. Vita Talalay is one of the very few brands in the world which have been able to produce ergonomic bedding out of pure natural materials.

Ergonomic bedding is mattresses, toppers, and pillows which are produced in a way that they adapt to your specific body rather than you having to adapt to the product. The reason why Vita Talalay latex is ergonomic is thanks to the low hysteresis and high resilience.

Low hysteresis allows you to move around freely in your sleep. This means that you will not need to use up the much-needed energy for the day and instead fully rest during the night. High resilience, on the other hand, means that the pure natural comfort material has great bounce. This means that the mattress, topper or pillow will always bounce back to its original shape. This is true - no matter how old or used our products are!

Sleep on latex: because it is the most durable comfort material out there

Unfortunately, there are large differences between one comfort foam and the other. One of the biggest differences is the durability. Cheap polyurethane foam mattresses, for example, will not last long at all. Some already begin having lumps and bumps within the first few years. Choosing such a mattress may be alright as a temporary solution. However, in the long run, you will find yourself paying the bill at the cost of your health. Many different pains may occur, from your back, shoulder, hip, neck and so on.

When you sleep on latex, on the other hand, will not allow this to happen. No matter how old or used the products are, they will never have lumps or bumps. To sleep on latex is the long-term answer to your problems!

Although we know that our products may last up to 20 years, we do recommend changing them after 8 years. This has nothing to do with durability, and all with hygiene, though. This is because dead skin and sweat will get into the core of the mattress, topper or pillow over time. Who really wants to sleep on that?

Sleep on latex: because it has fantastic motion transfer

This is one benefit which many forget. Just imagine the following: you are sleeping deeply after a long day. However, your better half ends up having a restless night as you have yet to decide to sleep on latex. You will end up feeling every single movement they do. This is especially true if you are sleeping on a water bed! It can even better: your significant other needs to get up earlier than you do, and every morning it is the same routine. You end up waking up due to the movements of them needing to get up.

This will not happen when you sleep on latex. No matter how much he or she ends up moving, nothing will take you from your much-needed sleep. You can even do a great test to prove it: place a cup of coffee on your side of the mattress, lie down on the other side and get up. You will see that neither the cup nor the coffee inside will have even shaken a little.

This is a benefit which may not seem as important or believable to you know. However, this is one of those things that you will have difficulties living without once you lose it!
