LATEXPEDIC

Latex Mattress Buyer's Guide

America's best-built latex mattress, handmade one at a time since 1964.

A mattress is the one piece of furniture you use for a third of your life. This guide explains what to look for in a latex mattress, what separates natural latex from everything else in the showroom, and why a Latexpedic, made, sold, delivered and guaranteed by one family, is built to be the last mattress you buy for a very long time.

OneLatexpedic Latex Mattress: America's Best-Built, Handmade One at a Time Since 1964

We make it, sell it, deliver it and guarantee it. No one else touches it.

For three generations our family has built mattresses the slow way. The latex layers are selected and stacked to your firmness, wrapped in natural wool, and encased in a cotton cover quilted on both sides. There is no assembly line, no overseas private-label factory, and no middleman adding a markup between our workbench and your bedroom.

Because we control every step, we can build things mass-market brands won't: a fully reversible mattress, sturdy handles, a zippered cover that lets you change the firmness years from now, and a 20-year limited warranty behind all of it.

TwoNatural Latex Mattress from Tree to Bed: Talalay vs. Dunlop Latex

Natural latex begins as milky sap tapped by hand from the Hevea rubber tree. The trees aren't cut down; each one produces for decades.

The sap is whipped into a resilient open-cell foam in one of two ways, and a Latexpedic can be built with either.

  • Dunlop: the traditional method. Latex is poured into a mold and baked, making it denser and firmer, an ideal support core.
  • Talalay: a more intensive 8-step process using vacuum and flash-freezing. The result is more consistent, airier and more buoyant, with the industry's highest ratings for consistency, breathability and support.

It takes roughly the daily output of 2,500 rubber trees to make one queen-size all-latex mattress. That is why real latex costs more than foam, and why it's worth more.

ThreeOrganic Latex Mattress: Three Natural Ingredients, GOLS Latex and GOTS Cotton and Wool

Most mattresses sold today contain zero percent natural ingredients. A Latexpedic contains three, and that is the whole list.

We spend more than 120 days a year in bed for the rest of our lives, so what's inside matters. There's no polyurethane foam, no fiberglass and no chemical flame retardants in a Latexpedic. Organic models are built with latex certified to the Global Organic Latex Standard, which requires at least 95% certified organic raw latex, and cotton and wool certified to the Global Organic Textile Standard.

FourLatex Mattress Pressure Relief and Spinal Support: Soft and Supportive at Once

Most mattresses make you choose between soft and supportive. Natural latex is the rare material that is both.

Memory foam slowly gives way under pressure and can leave you feeling stuck. Latex pushes back in proportion to your weight: it yields gently at the shoulders and hips while lifting the waist and lower back. The spine stays in natural alignment all night.

  • Pressure relief: deep cushioning at shoulders and hips means less tossing and turning
  • True support: firm underneath, gentle on top
  • Easy to move: you sleep on the mattress, not in it, so changing positions is effortless
  • Motion isolation: a partner's movement doesn't travel across the bed

Owners tell us, again and again, that latex feels twice as comfortable as anything they've slept on before.

FiveThe Ultimate Latex Mattress: Probably the Most Comfortable Mattress in the World

Twelve inches of latex, top to bottom, in three independent layers.

The Ultimate is our fullest expression of latex: a supportive 6" center embraced by 3" comfort layers above and below, each layer set to the firmness you choose. Three layers, three zippers, and no fillers of any kind.

  • All latex, no foam, springs or fillers
  • Reversible, quilted in cotton and wool on both sides
  • Adjustable forever: unzip and exchange a layer if your needs change
  • 20-year limited warranty

SixLatex Mattress Collection: The Classic 7", The Balance 10" and The Ultimate 12"

Three profiles, four firmnesses, twelve ways to sleep. Every one fits a standard frame or an adjustable bed.

  • The Classic, 7": a clean, supportive all-latex profile, ideal for adjustable and hospital beds where a slimmer mattress bends easily with the frame.
  • The Balance, 10": a deeper comfort layer over a firm support core, for sleepers who want a little more cushion.
  • The Ultimate, 12": three independent latex layers, each in the firmness you wish.

Twin, full, queen, king, California king and split sizes for adjustable beds are all made to order.

Queen and king sizes can be built with split firmness, one side softer and the other firmer. Sleep on it for ten days; if the firmness isn't right, we'll exchange the layers for $89.

EightLatex Mattress Durability: 20-Year Warranty, Reversible and Quilted on Both Sides

A typical innerspring or memory foam mattress lasts 7 to 10 years. Natural latex can last 15 to 25.

Natural rubber is inherently resilient. It resists the sagging, body impressions and "trough" that develop in lesser materials, so the support you feel on the first night is the support you feel years later.

  • Completely reversible: flip and rotate for even wear
  • Quilted on both sides: every surface is a sleeping surface
  • Handles and zippered cover: easy to move, easy to re-layer
  • 20-year limited warranty: we stand behind it for two decades

NineLatex Mattress for Adjustable Beds, Hi-Low Beds and Hospital Beds

We've been matching mattresses to electric adjustable beds since 1964.

Innersprings resist bending and crease over time. Latex flexes with a motorized base, isolates motion so adjustments don't disturb a partner, and returns to its shape without losing structural integrity. The 7" Classic is especially at home on hi-low and hospital beds.

Our showrooms carry the finest 2-, 3- and 5-motor adjustable and hi-low beds in every size from twin to dual king:

  • Flex-A-Bed, Ascend and Dawn House 3-motor hi-low beds
  • Supernal 3 and 5, with Trendelenburg on the 5
  • Tuffcare heavy-duty and bariatric beds
  • Ergomotion and our own Electropedic adjustable beds

TenHealthy Latex Mattress: Cool, Hypoallergenic, Dust-Mite Resistant and Eco-Friendly

A natural latex mattress is a healthier place to spend a third of your life.

  • Sleeps cool: the open, pin-cored cell structure breathes, and cotton and wool wick moisture away
  • Dust-mite and mold resistant: naturally, with no chemical treatments
  • No off-gassing: natural latex has a mild, earthy scent that fades quickly and doesn't release harmful VOCs
  • Sustainable: rubber trees are tapped, not cut, and natural latex keeps petroleum foam out of landfills

Latex allergies usually come from contact with thin products like gloves. Mattress latex is washed and vulcanized, and you sleep on a quilted cover, not the latex. Anyone with a severe latex allergy should check with a doctor first.

Latex Mattress Questions

What foundation does a latex mattress need?

A solid platform, a slatted base with slats no more than 3 inches apart, or an adjustable bed. Avoid a traditional box spring with wide-spaced coils; heavy latex can sag into the gaps.

Can I change the firmness after I buy it?

Yes. Unzip the cover and exchange or rearrange the latex layers. Within the first ten days, we'll exchange layers for $89.

Can my partner and I have different firmnesses?

Yes. Queen and king mattresses can be built with split firmness, one side softer and the other firmer.

What's the difference between Talalay and Dunlop?

Dunlop is poured and baked, making it denser and firmer, ideal for support cores. Talalay adds vacuum and flash-freezing for a more consistent, airier, buoyant feel, often preferred for comfort layers.

Why is latex more expensive than foam?

Harvesting natural rubber sap is labor-intensive; a queen all-latex mattress takes roughly the daily output of 2,500 rubber trees. Because it lasts about twice as long, the cost per year is often lower. Buying factory direct removes the middleman markup.

Do you deliver and remove my old mattress?

Yes. We deliver, set up and take away your old mattress throughout California and Arizona.
