Latex is a similar substance to tree sap, which comes from tropical rubber trees.🌴
As latex is harvested without damaging the tree, it’s considered a fantastic natural and eco-friendly alternative to man-made mattress materials.
Many people have never heard of latex mattresses, but they were invented as far back as the 1920s (50 years earlier than memory foam!) 🤯
However, not all latex mattresses are completely natural…
Latex mattresses can be made from natural latex, synthetic (man-made) latex, or a combination of the two. 😮
Many latex mattresses also consist of several layers of foam, combining a latex layer with an additional layer of memory foam, reflex foam, or pocket springs.
Natural latex is tapped from rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) and has been used in the bed industry for over a hundred years.
Natural latex mattresses are a sustainable mattress alternative as they are harvested from organic materials without destroying vegetation and are also biodegradable. ♻️
Even though latex is natural, it still has to undergo a manufacturing process to turn it into latex foam.
You can see how natural Dunlop latex is manufactured below. 👇
We’ll go into more detail about the differences between Dunlop and Talalay latex a bit later...
Synthetic latex is a man-made material produced to recreate the same feeling as natural latex at a much lower cost. 💰
Synthetic latex is derived from petroleum compounds into a plastic-type of material like other conventional foams. 🧽
Whilst synthetic latex can be more hard-wearing than natural latex, it has less elasticity and doesn’t adapt to the body in the same way.
If you’re looking for a more eco-friendly mattress alternative, then synthetic latex is probably not a good option.
Blended latex mattresses combine natural and synthetic latex for a “best of both worlds” approach. 🤩
Blended latex is cheaper but offers many benefits of natural latex, making it a great budget option for natural latex mattresses.
However, many blended latex mattresses contain mainly synthetic latex with just a small amount of natural latex.
Some retailers even market their latex mattresses as 100% natural when it is composed of mostly synthetic latex or other filler material. 🤔
Latex hybrid mattresses are another great budget alternative to 100% natural latex.
Latex hybrid mattresses are usually made up of a main layer of pocket springs or support foam with a latex pillow top or latex layer. 🧅
Latex Hybrid mattresses with pocket springs are great for heavier-weight sleepers who need some additional support from springs.
They are also a great option for side sleepers as the pillow top can provide pressure relief on the hips and shoulders. 🥰
There are two different types of natural latex distinguished by their manufacturing processes: Dunlop latex and Talalay latex.
Both Dunlop latex and Talalay latex are pure latex, but they have unique characteristics and benefits. 🧐
For the Dunlop process, the latex is poured into a mould and baked in a vulcanisation oven.
This creates a dense and firmer feeling latex. 🧱
Natural Dunlop latex is great for couples looking for a low motion transfer mattress.
It’s also a brilliant choice for stomach sleepers who need a firm and supportive mattress for correct spinal alignment.
Natural Talalay latex is made similarly to Dunlop, except it includes distributing the latex in a vacuum-sealed mould and being flash-frozen before baking.
This makes a more open-cell structure for optimal air circulation, ideal for hot sleepers.
Talalay latex is great for side sleepers and lighter-weight people who are looking for a latex mattress on the softer side. 🧸
Natural Talalay latex is often used in hybrid or pillow-top mattresses to add an extra layer of comfort on top of supportive pocket spring or foam layers. 🤗
There are many benefits to buying a latex mattress. 💡
As mentioned, opting for a natural latex mattress instead of memory foam is much more resourceful.
Rubber trees can produce sap for up to 30 years and harvesting this for latex is not harmful to the trees or the environment. 🌎
Natural latex is also biodegradable, which reduces the impact on landfills and makes it a more eco-friendly choice.
Not only are latex mattresses hypoallergenic and dust-mite resistant, it’s also antimicrobial, which helps to prevent bacteria from building up inside. 🛡️
Latex is a much cooler alternative to memory foam.
Whilst many memory foam mattresses retain heat, latex mattresses have air pockets, designed to release warm air that collects in the mattress. 🌬️
Latex mattresses are often more hard-wearing and durable than other mattress types.
So, even though latex mattresses can be expensive, they should last much longer than a typical memory foam mattress with no dipping or indentations in the material.
Natural latex mattresses have such great durability, some even come with 25-year warranties! ⏳
Now you’re probably wondering…
Are latex mattresses better than memory foam? 🤔
Both latex and memory foam mattresses offer a variety of benefits.
Whilst latex is a great natural choice, the adaptability of polyurethane memory foam material is also worth considering.
Deciding which is right for you depends on your own priorities for buying a mattress.
You should ask yourself some key questions before deciding if a latex mattress is right for you. 🔍
Consider the following criteria before choosing your latex mattress:
Depending on its composition, a latex mattress could be ideal for your sleeping position.
Different sleeping positions require different firmness levels, but what feels firm to some may feel softer to others. 🤷
It’s important to use the following information as a guide and remembering your needs and preferences may be slightly different.
So what kind of latex mattress is best for your sleep position? 🧐
Most people sleep on their side, so the latex mattress market has created plenty of products to accommodate this position.
Side sleepers need a bit more give in their mattress. ☁️
The perfect side sleeper mattress is one that contours around your pressure points whilst having enough support to align your spine.
We love the Silentnight Pocket Latex 2000 Mattress for side sleepers. 😍
This award-winning mattress combines 2000 pocket springs with a deep latex layer for a supported but comfortable sleep.
The soft-medium feel makes this an ideal firmness for side sleepers who need some extra give in their mattress.
The supportive individual pocket springs will offer low motion transfer support across your entire body.
Meanwhile, the pressure-relieving deep latex top layer will cushion the shoulders, knees, and hips in the side sleeping position.
For back sleepers, we suggest a mattress that has a medium-firm feel.
We recommend a mattress that supports the natural alignment of your spine.
This means the mattress will be firm enough to keep your spine straight (not creating that hammock effect) but soft enough to offer pressure-relieving comfort for those heavier regions. ⚖️
We highly recommend Sealy Posturepedic Nostromo Mattress for back sleepers. 🤩
This medium-feel mattress has a Posturepedic spring system to help keep the spine straight and supported during the night.
The latex pillowtop will help to relieve pressure from the shoulders and hips without sinking too much and creating a hammock effect.
For stomach sleepers, a mattress with a firm feel is ideal. 🧱
Stomach sleeping puts added pressure on your spine and a softer mattress can bend it unnaturally during the night.
A firm mattress that provides optimal spinal alignment will help to relieve some of that added pressure.
It’s even more important for stomach sleepers to keep their spine and neck naturally aligned on a firm mattress.
For optimal stomach sleeping, you could also try sleeping without a pillow, or popping your pillow under your hips instead.
For stomach sleepers, the Happybeds Laytech Plus Latex Mattress is a great choice. 🥰
This mattress combines reflex foam and latex for a firmer and more supported feel.
This budget-friendly mattress is ideal for light to medium-weight sleepers who like to face-plant their pillow whilst they sleep.
If you move around a lot during sleep, you might want to consider a mattress suitable for every position. 🤔
For restless sleepers, it’s important to choose a mattress with low motion transfer.
This means when you move around on your mattress, it stays completely still for a night of undisturbed sleep.
Low motion transfer mattresses are also great for couples. 💑
You shouldn’t feel your partner climbing into bed or getting up to use the toilet during the night.
Likewise, if your partner is a restless sleeper, your sleep should remain uninterrupted.
We love the Dunlopillo Royal Sovereign Mattress for those who change positions.
Made with pure natural latex, this mattress offers fantastic low motion transfer.
Even more, when you move around during the night, the mattress will adapt to your body, no matter what position you sleep.
The video below shows the highly adaptable technology in a Dunlopillo mattress. 👇
Latex mattresses are naturally hypoallergenic, dust-mite resistant and antimicrobial. 🧼
Therefore, latex mattresses are a fantastic triple threat against bacteria that build up inside a mattress.
A recent study found 16-million colony-forming units of bacteria inside a 7-year-old mattress. 😱
This can contribute to symptoms for those with allergies or breathing problems.
Luckily, dust-mites can be fussy, and they don’t like latex material.
The natural antimicrobial and antifungal properties of latex mean they are resistant to mould, bacteria, and even bedbugs. 🦠
A latex mattress could be a great option for those with allergies or asthmatic symptoms.
We also recommend using a mattress protector, particularly if you have allergies.
Mattress protectors have many benefits, including resisting dust mites, protecting the mattress from accidents and increasing the mattress lifespan.
Latex mattresses are made with an open-cell structure which provides much better airflow than memory foam. 🌬️
On top of that, latex mattresses are designed with breathable pinholes throughout the mattress which creates much better circulation.
That being said, a latex mattress isn’t necessarily going to provide you with a cool sleep. 😦
A latex mattress is still made up of a foam block which doesn’t offer the best ventilation possible.
If you’re a naturally hot sleeper, the coolest latex option would be a hybrid latex mattress with pocket springs. ❄️
The gaps between the springs will allow excess heat to draw out underneath the mattress.
For hot sleepers, we also recommend placing your mattress on a slatted frame rather than a divan. 💭
Retained heat will draw out through the gaps of the slats for even better breathability.
Likewise, natural-fibre fitted sheets and mattress protectors will provide an overall cooler sleep when paired with a latex or memory foam mattress. 😎
The Eve Cotton Mattress Protector is one of our top picks for latex or memory foam mattresses.
These organic cotton covers are highly breathable and help to wick away moisture during the night.
They are also OEKO-TEX certified, meaning they have been tested against harmful substances.
You’ll be pleased to know it’s not just mattresses that are made with latex.
There are lots of popular bed accessories to accommodate your love for natural latex. 😍
We’ve got the best latex toppers and pillows below for a more organic sleep.🌱
Latex mattress toppers offer many benefits.
If you’re not quite ready to fork out on a brand new latex mattress, then trying a latex mattress topper first is a sensible stepping stone towards that goal.
A latex mattress topper can help to improve the feel of a sagging and unsupportive mattress.
If your mattress feels too firm, a latex mattress topper can give it an added layer of comfort and help to ease pressure on your joints during the night. 🤗
Likewise, if your mattress feels too soft, then a latex mattress topper can help to give it some additional support.
The Evergreenweb latex mattress topper is made with natural latex goose-feather effect flakes. 🦆
This hypoallergenic mattress topper is a great way to add some extra zeal to your mattress for a cool and comfortable sleep.
This super comfortable latex topper is OEKO-TEX certified and comes rolled up for a fuss-free delivery. 👍
Latex pillows are a fantastic way to enhance your overall sleep.
Just like latex mattresses, latex pillows are hypoallergenic, naturally cool and can offer instant pressure relief on the head and shoulders. 🥰
They also last much longer than other pillow fillings, meaning you no longer have to replace your pillow multiple times a year.
The Relyon Superior Comfort Latex Pillow is made with 100% natural latex.🌴
This pillow is breathable and relieves pressure for a more supported sleep.
We recommend the deep version of this pillow for side sleepers, whilst the slim version is ideal for front and back sleepers.
The Superior Comfort pillows come with a five-year guarantee but have lasted buyers as long as 10! ⏳
Just like traditional mattresses, latex beds come in a range of sizes and depths.
The standard UK latex mattress sizes are below:
Some latex mattresses even come in custom or EU sizes.
Depths of latex mattresses range from about 20-30cm depending on the type of latex mattress.
Hybrid latex mattresses are generally much deeper than pure latex mattresses.
It’s important you measure your bed before buying a mattress and checking the depth.📏
If you are buying a mattress for a bunk bed or a bed with a foot end, this is especially important to ensure the mattress isn’t too deep. 💡
Just like sizes, latex mattresses prices vary depending on the type of latex mattress and whether the latex is real or synthetic (or a blend of both!) 🤔
Latex mattresses can be more expensive than some alternatives, such as memory foam or innerspring mattresses.
Synthetic or hybrid latex mattresses can cost anywhere from £250.
Pure natural latex is likely going to £1000 or more!
Never feel pressured to overspend on a mattress.
Whilst we believe a good mattress should be essential for life quality, you should only buy within your budget.
If money is tight, consider a hybrid mattress with support foam or springs with a layer of latex on top.
Likewise, many retailers have finance options to help you spread the cost more easily.
If you’re looking for the best deal for a latex mattress, there are often discounts on many popular latex mattress brands. 💰
Latex mattress offers can be reduced by as much as £500!
As latex mattresses can be expensive, it’s a great idea to check for the best deal you can.
Our discounts page will keep you up to date with all the latest latex mattress offers.
As there are so many different types of latex mattresses available, it’s not as straightforward as assigning a latex mattress to a specific type of person.
But here is a general overview of suitability:
| Latex mattresses are suitable for 👍 | Latex mattresses are less suitable for 👎 |

Not convinced about latex mattresses?
Don’t sweat it. 😅
Luckily, mattresses come in a combination of materials.
If you’re still on the hunt for a fantastic new mattress, then consider some of our alternatives below.
Memory foam mattresses have a similar feel to latex.🧽
However, memory foam mattresses contour around the body more easily and have a slower response when returning to their shape.
Memory foam is very adaptable. It nestles up close to the body and thus provides a unique sensation.
However, turning during sleep takes more effort, and this mattress is less suitable for very restless sleepers. 🧛
Memory foam keeps body heat in the material, providing for an overall warmer sleep. 🌡️
Memory foam can be a great choice for side sleepers that need a softer feeling mattress.
The Nectar Mattress is one of our favourites.
This memory foam mattress combines 3 high-density memory foam layers.
All foam is made free from harmful chemicals, and the mattress comes with a lifetime guarantee.
Pocket springs are the superior choice for innerspring mattresses.
Each spring is contained in its own little pocket, helping to offer individual support across your entire body.
Because of this, the more pocketed coils in the mattress, the more supported it should feel.🤸♂️
We recommend mattresses with 2,000 or more pocket springs for the most support.
Pocket-sprung mattresses are great for couples looking for low motion transfer.👩❤️👨
The DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid mattress is a great choice.
This mattress features a layer of full-size pocket springs with 'Dream Plush' memory foam for a combination of support and comfort.
The mattress comes with a lifetime guarantee and a 365-day trial.
Gel foam mattresses also have high point elasticity and advanced temperature-regulating technology. 🔬
Many gel mattresses are made with heat-absorbing gel foam, which can provide an overall cooler sleep.
The feeling of lying on a gel foam mattress is also slightly different – gel foam mattresses have a squishier feel than latex or memory foam mattresses.
Gel mattresses are a great option for hot sleepers looking for a cooler mattress.
The Silentnight Geltex Ultra 3000 is a fantastic option.
The Geltex layer encourages a cooler sleep whilst combining Ultraflex spring layers for additional support.
This gel-infused mattress comes with free delivery and a 60-night sleep trial.
Do you like the idea of a natural mattress but you’re not sure about latex?
Lucky for you, there are all kinds of organic mattresses available.
Many traditional mattresses are made with innersprings at the bottom, and other natural layers.
This can be anything from organic wool, feather and down, bamboo, or even cashmere.
These types of natural fillings can wick away moisture and naturally regulate body temperature.
The natural fibres make this a great luxury choice for those who want a warmer winter sleep and cooler summer nights. 🌞
We love the HappyBeds Mirage Spring Quilted Bamboo Fabric Natural Fillings Mattress.
This mattress combines all the best natural materials, including bamboo yarn, wool, and cashmere.
This budget-friendly mattress absorbs moisture and encourages airflow through the night.
Depending on which latex mattress you choose will determine the delivery process of your new mattress. 🚚
Many latex mattresses come with white glove delivery, where 2 able-bodied men will deliver your mattress to your room of choice.
Some companies may just deliver your new mattress to your door.
Latex mattresses can be heavy to move, so it’s important to ensure you understand the delivery process before placing an order.
You can find this on the manufacturer or retailer’s website.🔍
Some latex mattresses come with their own sleep trial period. 😱
This means you have a set amount of days to try the mattress before making a final decision.
If you decide you don’t like your latex mattress, you can qualify for an exchange or full refund.
Some latex mattresses come with sleep trials.
This is a great way to shop online without having to worry about buying a mattress you haven’t tested.
The Silentnight Pocket Latex 2000 Mattress comes with a 60-night sleep trial.
If you decide you don’t like this latex mattress, then Silentnight offers a full refund or exchange for another mattress.
A latex mattress can be a great choice for a variety of reasons. 💭
A latex mattress is a great option for allergy sufferers, warm sleepers, and most sleeping positions. 😍
It’s also a fantastic choice for the environmentally conscious and those looking for a more natural sleep on a mattress that lasts. ⏳
However, if you’re not sure a latex mattress is right for you, then why not consider some of our favourite memory foam mattress alternatives instead?
Latex can be a great choice for all sleeping positions, particularly side sleepers.
For side sleepers, the increased pressure on your shoulder and hip can lead to pain during the night.
It’s important to choose a mattress that supports spinal alignment whilst moulding around the joints to relieve pressure.
Most things we buy brand-new come with a smell when we first open them.,
Natural latex can have a rubbery or even sweet smell whilst synthetic latex might smell more like a chemical or plastic.
However, the smell of latex mattresses is much fainter than memory foam mattresses, as they don’t experience off-gassing.
If you are sensitive to even faint smells, then we recommend airing your new mattress out as soon as it arrives.
You can do this by completely removing the packaging and leaving it in a well-ventilated room.
Latex can have a firmer feel whilst adapting to the shape of the body and providing great pressure relief.
This can make them a fantastic option for those who suffer from back or neck pain.
Latex mattresses are also often recommended for orthopaedic purposes.
However, it’s important to remember if you suffer from back pain during the night, this could be due to an unsupportive mattress.
A mattress that is too firm or soft will mis-align the spine and neck and cause back pain.
Our guide to choosing the correct firmness for your body can help you find a more supportive mattress.
If you’re conscious about the environment, you might consider latex as a more sustainable mattress option.
Each mattress that ends up in landfill takes up 28 cubic feet of space.
So it’s great to know that 100% natural latex mattresses can be fully recycled.
Latex mattresses have a longer lifespan, which means you’ll need to replace the mattress less often.
Buying a long-lasting product that can be eventually recycled is a great way to reduce your environmental impact.
Yes, natural latex is highly flammable, and all latex mattresses must be treated with fire retardants or graphite (a natural alternative) according to UK safety regulations.
Some latex mattresses also feature a fire-retardant mattress cover.
Most latex mattresses aren’t flippable.
This is because of their layered structure, which usually includes a supportive foundation and softer top.
However, latex mattresses can be rotated.
Most latex mattresses need to be rotated every 6 months, but you should check with the manufacturer for your specific latex mattress for the best answer.
For some people, a non-turnable mattress is a deal-breaker.
Luckily, we have some options for you.
The HappyBeds Majestic 1000 Pocket Sprung Mattress can be flipped and rotated.
Having two sides to a mattress can help to increase its lifespan.
Depending on the make-up or type of latex within the mattress, a latex mattress can come in a range of firmness levels.
Some of the firmest mattresses on the market come in latex form, whilst other latex mattress options can be much softer.
Synthetic latex mattresses tend to be firmer than organic latex mattresses.
Likewise, if you’re looking for something with a bit more bite, then Dunlop latex is firmer than Talalay latex.
To answer another question: Is latex firmer than memory foam?
The short answer would be yes.
Memory foam has a softer, more “hugging” feeling than latex, so if your decision comes down to firmness - latex would generally be the firmest choice.
