Latex Mattress

What are latex mattresses?

A Latex Mattress is basically a rubber mattress. It can be made of natural latex, synthetic latex or a combination of both natural and synthetic.

Latex mattresses are made without springs and uses natural latex at its core.
With the natural latex, the material is derived from the milk sap of the Rubber tree. The sap is harvested and creates an amazing sleeping surface, which is probably the secret behind natural latex beds.
A popular mattress is one with a firm inner core and soft top layer. This gives a comfortable feeling without sinking down too far.
