Latex Matress FAQs |
 Do
you typically sleep on your back, side, or stomach?
Back and stomach sleepers generally are more comfortable on a flatter and harder
mattress. Side sleeper requires a little softer mattress to allow the hips and
shoulders to sink in, allowing the mattress to support the side and therefore
keeping the spine straight. |
Do
you have problems with pressure points?
If you have pressure point problems, a softer mattress may be better. And adding
extra cushioning like the
1-1/2
organic wool pad or the
premium 3" organic wool pad adds extra comfort. |
Do
you think you want a mattress as firm as the floor?
Most people who feel this way don't sleep all night on the floor. If you are one
of the rare ones who can do this comfortably, then our hardest latex or
cotton/wool extra firm mattresses would be the ideal choice. Most people need
more cushioning than this. Consider that you need to lie comfortably on this 6-8
hours at a time. |
What
is your body type?
Generally people with more curves need a softer, more cushioned mattress and
someone with less curvature. |
Do
you like a flat surface or do you want to feel like the mattress gently holds
you?
Latex gives the most solid, flat feel of our mattresses. To get the feeling that
a mattress gently holds you, consider adding our
3"
topper. You can get the cloud-like comfort without sacrificing
support.

What
age are you buying for?
A 5-year old child will have different weight and support requirements than a
20-year old. Also think about how your body felt and all the changes you may
have been feeling compared to 5 years ago? 10 years ago? Ask anyone in their
70's and they can tell you they feel more aches and pains than when they were in
their 60's. Or someone in their 50's may start to feel the onset of arthritis
and may mistake the pains as needing a firmer mattress instead of something with
more cushioning. Ask yourself several questions and be very honest with
yourself.
How old are you? Or how old will be you be in 5 years? 10 years? Even though you
may live a health, active life, our bodies change with time.
Could your pains possibly be age-related?
You may remember sleeping on the floor when you were younger. But do you still
do that now? And are your still comfortable? Or do you get up slower and stiffer
if you do this.
Are there any old injuries that may start to surface? That may require support,
yet more cushioning than you may have thought about |
Do
you sleep hot?
Everyone loses moisture when sleeping. Some people sleep hotter than others. If
you are the type that sleeps hotter, organic wool is the perfect insulator. It
will wick away moisture and provide a more comfortable sleeping environment. |
|
What
is your climate? Where do you live?
In areas that are hotter and more humid, mold and mildew are a concern. Natural
latex and organic wool are better choices for these areas.
