Simmons Natural Latex Mattress
Have you taken a look at the Simmons natural latex mattress options? If not perhaps this is something you should investigate if you plan to purchase a natural latex bed. Simmons makes almost pure natural latex mattresses. They come as close to any manufacturer in today’s market making claims of making natural latex beds.
Before purchasing a Simmons natural latex mattress or any latex mattress from anyone, you need to understand what natural latex really is as compared to synthetic latex. Natural latex is harvested from the sap of rubber trees or Hevea Brasiliensis trees. This sap is harvested using a process called rubber tapping. An incision is made in the rubber tree to collect the white or yellow sap. This sap is then heated and mixed with air to create foam latex. The process of washing the latex foam to remove proteins and other impurities is completed before pouring the foam latex into a mold for cure.
Once the foam latex has taken on a solid form or core, the mattress will be surrounded in natural latex or wool materials which carry forward the hypo-allergenic properties of the natural latex. If you decide to purchase a Simmons natural latex mattress make sure the latex bedding products they are distributing as natural latex has undergone this process. Verify that other synthetic materials or fire retardant chemicals were not added during the manufacturing process.
Synthetic latex is derived from petroleum based products which require chemical additives to reduce its flammability. There is a distinctive odor to petroleum based latex material that is not present in natural latex. Some people even have allergies to this type of latex. If you find a Simmons natural latex mattress make sure it does not have any synthetic latex added to the natural latex. If so then you are not purchasing a natural latex bedding product.
There is a Simmons natural latex mattress that is manufactured using Simmons special blend which contains a blend of milk sap from rubber trees and soy. They suggest this special blended latex meets OeKo-Tex Standard 100 certified. It is slightly difficult to understand what this means other than it is not 100% natural organic latex. It would be beneficial to do extensive research into the exact materials used in the latex mattresses produced by Simmons to understand exactly what you are purchasing.
Although the Simmons natural latex mattress is hypo-allergenic and naturally resistance to dust mite, mold and mildew resistant, most latex bedding products provide the same naturally resistant protection. With all this said Simmons does manufacture durable and long lasting products. They are known for their comfort and customer services. If you are looking for a 100% organic natural latex mattress, continue your search.
