If you would like to purchase an Organic latex mattress or pillow but have concerns as you have a latex allergy, as mentioned above we are able to send you a sample of our Organic latex that you can put in your pillowcase to test how you react. Keep in mind there are layers between you and the latex. We find that “latex" allergies can be due to the hidden chemical that some latex products have been produced with, make sure you always ask about GOLS certifications when looking for 100% Natural and Organic latex products. The Latex in our mattresses is grown organically and never treated with harsh chemicals. Natural latex has a very mild and neutral smell that, if noticeable at all, will dissipate soon after you receive your mattress.
