The mattress that adapts to you

The alarm clock tears you out of your dreams and you thank the inventor of the snooze function as your hand silences the annoying noise. You turn over in your bed with the comfortable latex mattress and feel your shoulder sinking in pleasantly. You immediately lie comfortably and cozily again and can snooze for a few more minutes. Read here about the other advantages and properties of the flexible and allergy-friendly latex mattresses.

Latex mattresses are comfortable and hygienic

When rubber is melted, latex is created. Natural latex is obtained from the rubber tree, synthetic latex is made from petroleum and is also suitable for people who are allergic to latex.

With a latex mattress, you will find the latex in the core, which makes it particularly elastic. Numerous channels extend from the core, which ensure that the mattress is well ventilated inside. Latex mattresses are usually made up of layers, with the top layer of the mattress often made of cotton, new wool or a similarly soft material.

Latex mattresses are robust and therefore extremely durable. Because they allow your body to sink into exactly the right places when you lie down, they are also a good solution for a healthy and restful sleep.

Sleeping positions: Which latex mattress is right for you?

When you lie down on a latex mattress, it adapts to your body and allows your shoulders and hips to sink in well when you are lying on your side. No matter what position you sleep in, the mattress adjusts itself to you and returns to its original shape when you turn or stand up. This dimensional stabilityis one of the advantagesof latex mattresses, which are therefore suitable for all sleeping types.

Another advantage is that the mattress does not absorb sweat. This means that there is no warm, humid environment inside the mattress and mites largely stay away from latex mattresses. This makes them particularly attractive for people who are allergic to dust mites and dust mites. Because some people can also be allergic to latex, you should get tested by a doctor beforehand. If you tend to get cold at night, you will also benefit from the good heat retention of a latex mattress.

Three purchase criteria for the right latex mattress

Just like other mattresses, latex mattresses are available in different variations. You can also combine your latex mattress with various accessories. We have summarized three important aspects for your purchase.

Choose the hardness level to suit your weight

If you are very light, you need a softer mattress so that your weight is still enough to deform the mattress. If you are heavier, a harder mattress is recommended because it offers your body more resistance and thus contributes to a healthy sleeping position. You can use this list as a guideline – but if you prefer to sleep harder or softer, you can also choose a firmer or softer level.

• For up to 50 kg use a mattress with firmness level 1.
• Up to 70 kg, hardness level 2 is the right one.
• For 70 to 100 kg, a mattress with firmness level 3 is suitable.
• For 100 to 130 kg, choose hardness level 4.
• If you weigh over 130 kg, you can use a mattress with firmness level 5.

Tip: If you sleep in the same bed as your partner, separate mattresses are often a healthy alternative. This way, you can both choose your mattress based on your individual weight and sleeping needs.

Lying zones for your individual sleeping position

Different zones in the mattress allow you to choose the mattress that best suits your sleeping position. If you are a stomach sleeper, a 7-zone mattress is a good choice as it adapts well to your body and also provides good support in the middle area of your body.

If you sleep on your side, it is important that your shoulder can sink in properly. Your mattress should therefore be nice and soft, especially in this area. If you sleep on your back, it is often a good idea to have reinforcement in the area of your shoulders and buttocks.

The right slatted frame for your latex mattress

A slatted frame ensures that your mattress is ventilated from below. With a slatted frame with adjustable zones , you can adjust how hard or soft you want to lie in different areas. If you sleep on your stomach, you can choose a slatted frame with middle zone reinforcement that supports your mattress in the middle of your body. If you sleep on your back, a slatted frame with buttock reinforcement is a good option.

Tip: Due to their high flexibility, latex mattresses are ideal for adjustable slatted frames, where you can raise the head and foot areas.

Four quick tips for caring for latex mattresses

Latex mattresses are very easy to care for. Here are four tips to ensure that your mattress stays hygienic and beautiful for a particularly long time:

1. Occasionally rub your mattress with a soft brush and a lint-free cloth.
2. Every morning, throw back the covers and leave your bed unmade for a while so that your mattress can air out.
3. When you change your bed linen, use the opportunity to rotate your mattress. Sometimes from top to bottom and sometimes from head to foot – this way the load is evenly distributed.
4. If the weather is good, you can let your mattress air out on the balcony or terrace once a month.

Conclusion: dimensionally stable latex mattresses for good sleep

Latex mattresses are a hygienic mattress solution because they do not absorb sweat and do not give dust mites a home. The mattresses also retain their shape for a long time, so that no unpleasant hollows form. Nevertheless, you can sink into the mattresses nicely and sleep comfortably.

• Latex mattresses are available in different degrees of firmness to suit your weight .For heavy people weighing over 130 kg, hardness level 5 is suitable, while for lightweight people weighing up to 50 kg, hardness level 1 is a good choice.
• With different zones, a latex mattress supports you in your favorite sleeping position. 7-zone models are good for stomach sleepers, while for side sleepers the shoulder area should be particularly soft. If you mostly sleep on your back, look for reinforcements in the shoulder and buttocks area.
• A slatted frame ensures that your mattress is ventilated from below. Latex mattresses are also particularly well suited to adjustable slatted frames. With these, you can raise the head or foot section of your mattress so that you lie even more comfortably.
