All Natural Latex Mattresses: Find Your Perfect Natural Latex Mattress

Tire of tossing and turning?  Time for a new mattress?  Ready to try something more comfortable than your old inner spring mattress?  Perhaps you are thinking about an all natural latex mattress?  How can you find the all natural latex mattress that is right for you?

A 100% all natural latex mattress is extremely comfortable.  It’s also antimicrobial, resists mold and mildew, and is dust mite free.  It is free of any chemicals or synthetic fillers.  But beware of the imitators — up to 80% of latex mattresses being sold today are not all natural, but are made synthetically using petrochemicals.  Although they claim to be just like all natural latex mattresses, but cheaper, they are not.  Steer clear of any latex mattress that is not 100% botanically derived.

How do you find the all natural latex mattress that is right for you?  The only way to do this is to try it in your own home for an extended period.  We recommend 180 days or more.  If you don’t like it, you need to be able to return it and get your money back.  Do not accept a store credit or comfort guarantee (same thing as a store credit).  These can leave you out a lot of money and still without a mattress that you love.

All Natural Latex Mattresses: Say NO to Springs and YES to Comfort

Is it time for a new mattress?  Are you tired of tossing and turning or sleeping in a giant crater?  Maybe you want to sleep more soundly or in a healthier chemical-free environment.  Then it’s time to take a look at forgetting about a traditional inner spring mattress and checking out an all natural latex mattress.

An all natural latex mattress is hypoallergenic and extremely comfortable.  It’s dust mite free, antimicrobial, and resists mold and mildew.  It is 100% botanically derived and contains nothing synthetic whatsoever.  Beware of pretenders, though, and here’s why:

Up to 80% of latex mattresses being sold today are not all natural latex, but are made synthetically using petrochemicals.  Some use the term “natural” simply because there is some natural latex in them.  Although those who sell synthetic latex mattresses like to say they are just as good as all natural latex mattresses but cheaper, this is not true.  A synthetic latex mattress doesn’t have the beneficial qualities of an all natural latex mattress and synthetic latex mattresses have a tendency to break down very quickly.  Since an all natural latex mattress is much more durable, it is more cost effective in the long haul.

Habitat Furnishings is the web’s specialty bedding site.  In addition to offering completely all natural latex mattresses, we also offer high quality, affordable air beds.

All Natural Latex Mattresses: The One Important Thing You Need to Know

As all natural latex mattresses become more and more popular, many mattress retailers are eager to jump on the natural latex bandwagon.  Unfortunately, much of what is being called “natural” isn’t.

Up to 80% of all latex mattresses being sold today are not all natural, but are actually made synthetically using petrochemicals.  Companies use the word “natural” because there is some natural latex in the product, but these latex mattresses are far from all natural.  The article Latex Mattress FAQs incorrectly states that “There are already hardly any plus points of going for all natural latex over synthetic.”  This statement is about as far from the truth as possible.  Synthetic latex mattresses are made using petrochemicals, do not have the qualities all natural latex is sought after for, do not last nearly as long as all natural latex mattresses, and have a tendency to develop lump, sags, and dips.  Although the initial cost of an all natural latex mattress may be a bit more than a synthetic latex mattress, its durability (lasts 20 – 30 years or more) make it a more cost effective choice in the long haul than a synthetic latex mattress.

At Habitat Furnishings, we are the web’s specialty bedding experts.  We want you to learn as much as possible before you choose an all natural latex mattress (or any specialty mattress).  Check out our comprehensive info on air beds and all natural latex mattresses.

Try an All Natural Latex Mattress to Ease Your Allergies

Do you have environmental allergies?  How about asthma?  Perhaps you are just tired of sleeping in dust?  Then an all natural latex mattress may be just what you need.  Not only is it extremely comfortable, but it is hypoallergenic too.

A true 100% natural latex mattress is botanically derived.  It is dust mite free, antimicrobial, and resists mold and mildew.  These qualities are what make it so good for those with allergies or asthma.  But buyer beware — Up to 80% of latex mattresses are not all natural, but are made synthetically using petrochemicals.  Because these latex mattress usually have some natural latex in them, the manufacturers and retailers call them “natural” and hope that consumers will not question how they are made.  If you are shopping for a natural latex mattress, make sure you ask exactly how it is made and if there are any synthetic materials in it.  If the answer you get is vague or they try to tell you synthetic latex is just as good as 100% all natural latex, go somewhere else.

To get all the benefits of a 100% all natural latex mattress, you have to buy a 100% all natural latex mattress.  Synthetic latex mattresses want to claim they are just as good, but they aren’t.  They have a tendency to sag and develop dips and they do not last nearly as long.  Since all natural latex mattresses are so durable (lasting 20 – 30 years or more) they are much more cost effective in the long haul as synthetic latex mattresses.  Check out Habitat Furnishings to learn more.
