When you’re looking at new mattresses, it’s important to ask yourself whether the mattress is good for your health. You might assume that all mattresses are safe and just cause some pain in your neck or back from time-to-time, but not be too damaging. Unfortunately this isn’t always true – especially when synthetic latex enters the picture! Synthetic latex can off gas toxic chemicals like formaldehyde which over long periods of exposure can lead to a variety of illnesses like cancer and asthma. One thing we recommend if you want contouring comfort and support benefits without these risks is 100% natural latex (which doesn’t have any chemical odours).
Allergy friendly
For those looking for allergy relief, natural latex is the best option. Natural latex has a porous nature and will keep your mattress aerated while keeping it dry. With an increased air flow in place from this material, dust mites are no match to compete with these qualities. Consumers can reduce their risk of developing allergies by selecting mattresses made entirely out of natural materials like foam or wool instead of synthetic ones that trap heat and humidity which could trigger symptoms related to allergens such as asthma attacks because they’re unable to breathe easily when there’s not enough oxygen circulating through the room.
Chemical Free
Mattresses are notoriously unhealthy for your body because they ‘off-gas’. Synthetic petroleum based materials and synthetic foams can not only contain chemical ingredients but also be treated with chemicals that make them legal, compliant, and fire retardant. Mattress brands will hide behind fancy technical names to keep the public in the dark about what these chemicals are so you don’t know whether or not it’s safe to lie down on one.
No nasties in your room at night
The off-gassing from your mattress might be causing you and/or those around you to develop respiratory problems, cancers, or other health issues. 100% natural latex mattresses are chemical free and can avoid this problem altogether as they do not release any toxins when new materials break down over time. A natural latex mattress from Snoozel Green offers these benefits which is great for you and the planet too.
Natural latex is a fully organic material derived naturally through boiling tree sap which has been linked to preventing many illnesses like cancer due its lack of chemicals present within it unlike traditional memory foam mattresses containing polyurethane (PU) insulation sprayed with fire retardant chemicals – typically flame resistant for up to 12 years before needing reapplication; a natural latex mattress has these fire retardant qualities innately.
