Latex mattresses are naturally hypoallergenic, dust-mite resistant and antimicrobial.
Therefore, latex beds 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's lifespan.
