5 Reasons Not to Believe the Myth that an Organic Latex Mattress Sleeps Hot


In terms of mattress comfort, heat retention is probably the last thing on the average buyer’s mind. Just like firmness and support, however, temperature regulation has a rather large influence on the quality of your sleep. According to sleep product research organization, Sleep Like the Dead, about 8 percent of people report that their mattress retains a significant amount of heat. Unfortunately, many also believe that latex mattresses in particular are not ideal for hot sleepers. In truth, an organic latex mattress is the least likely to feel hot as you sleep, and here are five reasons why.

Natural Components

People who complain about excessive heat retention probably don’t have authentic natural or organic mattresses. Since synthetic and hybrid mattresses are not made with purely natural materials, they don’t benefit from the open-cell structure true latex mattresses are known for. As a result the mattress just traps the sleeper’s body heat because it doesn’t have anywhere else to go.

Better Airflow

The unique structure of the organic latex mattress allow for better airflow and circulation. Pinholes all over the mattress allow it to “breathe,” so to speak. Cool air goes in just as the hot air is expelled, providing you with a cooler surface to sleep on. In fact, the more you move in your sleep, the cooler you may feel as the air also moves through the pinholes.

Three Common Mistakes Consumers Make When Buying an Adjustable Base Bed


While adjustable beds have become more affordable and generally accessible to consumers, it can still be a sizable investment in your well-being. When buying an adjustable base bed, carefully consider your needs and preferences first. Otherwise, you’ll end up with buyer’s remorse. Here’s what you need to avoid when you make way to your local mattress store.

Getting the Wrong Kind of Mattress

Some people get too caught up in buying their first adjustable bed and don’t spend enough time focusing on the mattress. Keep in mind that not all mattresses are ideal to use with an adjustable base bed. It needs to be flexible enough to conform to the contour of the frame and durable enough to withstand the repeated compressions of the adjustable bases. For this reason, a mattress with springs is a poor fit. Your best choices are a memory foam or a pure latex mattress with at least 10-14 inches of thickness. Both offer enough flexibility, firmness, support and comfort especially for someone with a bad back.

Why Density Should Be a Major Point of Consideration When Buying a Memory Foam Mattress Topper


Rather than focus on thickness and size when looking for a quality memory foam mattress topper, pay more attention to density. Aside from the price, the density of your topper actually directly affects other important characteristics of the product. Understanding this particular aspect can help you better determine if a topper will supplement the softness and support features of your mattress at home.

Weight

As it applies to memory foam, density is the measure of mass per unit volume. Simply put, denser foams have more foam material in a given area, and as a result, are heavier, too. Unsurprisingly, heavier mattress toppers provide more solid support to the sleeper. For instance, a topper with a density of 6 pounds per cubic feet and above is made with the highest quality memory foam gel and can support the body in its best form for in a long time. Do note, however, that there is no ideal weight as it will depend on the preferences and comfort level of the person using the topper.

Durability

With a higher concentration of foam material, denser toppers are understandably more durable than thinner variants. Since they are firmer, they can withstand more repetitive nightly wear and tear. With proper care and maintenance, your high density topper can easily last you years or twice as long as some low density mattresses.
