It seems strange to think of latex as being a natural substance – it’s just so weird – but it is. The sap from the rubber tree is used to make these natural latex foam products. And not only are they a natural product which makes them more environmentally friendly, but they’re safer than other products on the market as well.
Natural latex foam products are not made from or filled with chemicals that can be dangerous to your body. Similar products on the market are made from chemicals called PDBEs which can build up in your body and are linked to cancer and other diseases. These PDBEs are so dangerous that their use has been banned in Europe. Research has shown that these chemicals can be absorbed into your skin while you’re sleeping so if you’re not using natural latex foam products there’s a chance that you’re spending 8 hours a night laying on something that could cause you cancer.
Another benefit of natural latex foam products is that they’re natural fire retardants which makes your sleeping experience not only more comfortable but much safer. The man-made foam mattresses have been referred to by fire fighters as solid gasoline. Would you sleep on top of your gas tank? No, I didn’t think so.
So for your health and safety, look for a natural latex foam product today.
