There are many different reasons someone may want a latex mattress topper to put on top of their existing mattress. Below is a list of the most common reasons people buy latex mattress toppers.
1. I just bought a new mattress but it’s too firm
It can be hard to judge how a mattress will feel day in and day out. The firmness of a mattress will likely feel different to you after sleeping on it for 5 hours vs. trying it out for 5 minutes in the store. A lot of our customers like their new mattress but simply wish it was a bit softer. A soft or medium latex mattress topper is perfect for this situation.
2. My mattress is old and uncomfortable
Putting a latex mattress topper over an old mattress can give the mattress a whole new life. If you have an old mattress that has become increasingly uncomfortable, a latex mattress topper is a great and cost effective alternative to buying a new mattress.
3. My mattress is too hot
Latex mattress toppers breathe very well and are great to place on the surface of a hot bed. Many beds use memory foam on the top layer of the mattress. Memory foam retains heat and contains no air channels to allow heat to escape. Latex foam naturally breathes and contains air channels which allow air to circulate through it.
4. I hate the way my memory foam mattress caves in on me
We also commonly hear from customers who complain about how their memory foam mattress caves in on them. The slow movement of memory foam, which makes memory foam seem “cool” in the store can be a huge problem for people when they actually sleep on it. Many people find themselves waking up frequently throughout the night as their memory foam mattress prevents them from moving around in their sleep. Latex foam, on the other hand, is very reactive and will move with you to provide support at every point. While memory foam will fight you every time you shift position, latex foam will adjust instantly to keep you comfortable.
5. I am building my own mattress and need a top layer
Our large selection of 100% natural latex mattress toppers is great for people who want an environmentally friendly mattress which is free of harmful chemicals. Our mattresses contain a wool barrier which allows them to meet these standards.
This list is by no means exhaustive so if you don’t find your reason on this list, don’t worry, there are plenty of other reasons to choose a latex mattress topper.
