Latex has point elasticity. Even though the pairs are different in weight, it means that two people who are moving in mattress at night can share a mattress without disturbing each other. Does not squeeze your bed. If you need to wake up halfway through the day, you have no chance of waking your partner. In addition to being very elastic, latex is incredibly durable. A latex mattress can last for twenty years, compared to traditional spring mattresses, which usually need to be changed every 5-7 years (or more in the case of cheaper mattresses). The open-celled structure of latex mattresses means 'breathable'. Because the air inside can freely circulate, it does not absorb heat as other designs do. Latex is anti-bacterial, dust-resistant and resistant to mold. This makes latex mattresses ideal for people with allergies. In contrast, standard polyurethane and memory foam contain up to seven chemicals known as carcinogens. Latex does not contain any of these.
