Are Latex Mattresses Comfortable Over The Long Term

Yes. Latex mattresses are very comfortable over long term. I can say this based upon my own experience.

The scientific reason for the comfortable nature of a latex mattress is the natural springiness of latex as a material. 

I bought a latex mattress around two years ago. I previously slept on a coir mattress which retained heat, made me sweaty and restless while sleeping and most importantly, wasn’t very comfortable or supportive. When I started sleeping on a latex mattress, I could notice the difference in a matter of few weeks.

As soon as I lie down on my latex mattress, I feel a plush supportive sensation down my body. It feels like I am lying down on a very comfortable and cozy surface. It is a soft sinking feeling that I love but it is instantly followed by a buoyant supportive sensation.

This is due to the natural springiness of latex, and it feels incredibly comfortable. I utterly love the comfort delivered by my latex mattress but what I love even more is the fact that I sleep cool all night long.

My latex mattress from Morning Owl is extremely breathable and regulates temperature because it allows airflow.This air circulation ensures that latex does not trap heat. Memory foam mattresses trap heat which causes the material to degrade faster over years.

This free flow of air avoids perspiration and discomfort and keeps allergens, dust mites, moulds, etc away. A natural latex mattress is hence, also hypoallergenic along with being very supportive and comfy.

Despite being two years old, my mattress has still retained the original thickness and its even surface.

Here’s the good news: You don’t have to keep on reversing the mattress every few months. There are no indentations on the top layer or surface of the mattress. Latex conforms to the body and has an excellent natural shape recovery property.

I’ll highly recommend sleeping on a latex mattress if you are looking for a medium-firm comfortable mattress that keeps you cool while sleeping all night long.

Is memory foam better?

Bottom Line:

Natural latex easily conforms to your body, providing the extreme comfort you need for a good night’s sleep. Because an all-natural latex mattress tends to offer better support than a memory foam mattress, back and stomach sleepers will benefit from this additional support. The all-natural latex also provides cushioned comfort for side sleepers to enjoy.

PROS:

• All-Natural Latex means no harmful chemicals = Safe Mattress
• Helps you sleep cooler, allowing for a deeper night’s sleep
• Incredible pressure point relief
• Sustainably harvested, so better for the environment

CONS:

• Heavier and a little more expensive than memory foam mattresses
