Before we get into The Latex for Less review, we need to find out what you should look for in a mattress?
The first thing we think you should look at is the firmness and support that the mattress provides. This all depends on how you sleep. For side sleepers, we recommend either a softer mattress or a medium. Back sleepers should look for Medium/Medium Firm, and if you like to sleep on your front, you should be looking for a firm mattress as this offers the most support for your spine.
Construction is the next thing you should consider, whether you go for a foam mattress, a hybrid, or a traditional spring mattress. Memory foam moulds to your body and spread your weight over the bed rather than in one place. Spring mattresses offer a lot of support and a bouncy feel, which sleep ‘cooler’ than your typical memory foam mattress. Hybrids are a nice balance between the two.
Durability is probably the most significant thing we think you should consider. We believe a good quality mattress should last eight years before it needs replacing; this can be longer if you rotate your mattress every six months to ensure even wear.
How well the mattress regulates your temperature is also an excellent thing to consider when purchasing your new mattress. Generally, memory foam mattresses retain heat, making them perfect for the winter or needing that extra warmth. Whereas pocket sprung mattresses tend to be cooler as they have better airflow. This is something to think about.
It would be best to look for one that spreads your body weight evenly, relieving pressure on sore spots like your back, shoulder and hips. If you get the wrong mattress, you can wake up painful and uncomfortable and not sleep as well as you could.
We think the last thing you should consider when purchasing your mattress is the warranty it comes with. The majority of beds are covered up to ten years after you buy them. The top of the range mattresses can exceed twenty years. Mattresses that come with a short warranty indicate that the company is not confident in their bed or the lifespan.
Now we know what to look for, let’s see how well The Latex for Less stands up and whether it could be the perfect mattress for you.
Branding
Latex for Less pride itself on using all-natural materials, and we have to agree with them. As we all should be more conscious of the damage we are doing to the planet at the moment, the assurance that they are using no synthetic materials is a weight off our minds. They set the goal of being all-natural, incredibly comfortable, and it had to be affordable. We think they have hit all their goals.
Latex for Less went straight to their farmers to build up a sustainable relationship cutting out the middleman, which would drive up the mattress’s cost exponentially. This relationship creates a win-win for everyone. Benefiting the farmers and planet, this is an ideal we can get behind. With the earth and their consumers in the front of their mind, they offer handcrafted mattresses to provide you with a restful night sleep for years. They never skip on quality and never send out a mattress that doesn’t meet their high standards.
