What is a latex mattress?
Latex mattresses are divided into natural latex and synthetic latex. Natural latex is extracted from natural rubber tree juice, while synthetic latex is extracted from petroleum. Synthetic latex mattresses are not as elastic and breathable as natural latex mattresses, but they are cheaper. Here we mainly discuss the natural latex mattress. Natural latex mattress is made of rubber tree juice, which is formed by evaporation, with many pores and good permeability; At the same time, latex has excellent elasticity and is not easy to deform. Oak protein in latex can prevent mites and bacteria. Another major feature of latex mattress is no noise and vibration, which can effectively improve the quality of sleep.
Benefits of latex mattress
1. Sleeping aid: Latex mattress made of latex has high elasticity, which can meet the needs of people with different weights, and its good supporting force can adapt to various sleeping positions of sleepers. The contact area of latex mattress is much higher than that of ordinary mattress, which can evenly disperse the bearing capacity of human body weight and has the function of correcting bad sleeping posture.
2. Sterility: Latex mattress will emit a natural latex smell, which makes many mosquitoes afraid to get close and has a certain mosquito repellent effect.
3. Good air permeability: ordinary mattresses have poor air permeability, which leads to the breeding of mites and skin diseases. Latex mattress has good air permeability and smooth surface, which makes mites unable to attach. So the latex mattress is very clean and tidy.
4. Strong resilience: The natural latex mattress foamed by special technology is durable, strong resilience, long-term deformation, easy cleaning and no dust accumulation.
Disadvantages of latex mattress: easy to oxidize, unable to stop the oxidation process. In addition, about 8% people in the world are allergic when they sleep. Natural latex is scarce, which means it is more expensive to buy latex mattresses. When purchasing, consumers must choose brands with guaranteed quality and certificate of approval, which is beneficial to health.
