Another reason might be that latex mattresses last much longer so the repeat customer is less frequent there by cutting down on profits.
Omg. This is the best answer of all!!
It's more expensive and companies would rather use lower quality foam while marking them up.
No its not.
@@mattk8810 Elaborate
@@mattk8810100 natural one is expensive synthetic is not
Yes, bedding companies want to make money not waste it.
@mattk8810 yes, sweetie, latex is a lot more expensive than memory foam, especially in its manufacturing process. If you watched the video, you would understand why.
I’m from Sri lanka. We are the major latex mattress exporters to Europe and UK. Our natural rubber tress will provide you a super comfortable sleep. 👍🏻
thank you Mr. Sri lanka man! I just bought an all latex mattress that is stated to be from Sri lanka. It is very firm and unbelievable.
@@UnkleAL1962how do you sleep on it?
I'll admit it is quite firm which takes a little getting used to when you've slept on soft squishy mattresses for so long. I did buy a 3 inch topper to soften it up a degree now I'm quite comfortable@@Dres77
Do you provide latex for Dunlopillo Asia?
What kind of mattress do people in Sri Lanka sleep?
I found "the one" for me. So no longer on my mattress journey (It is full latex). But I still love watching you guys. Will definitely point anyone your way if I know they're in market.
Thank you! Glad you found one!
Exactly my comment
Would you mind share which one you purchased? I'm looking for a 100% natural latex myself. I was looking at the brand "Latex for Less," but the company seems questionable.
@@karlhungus5554Go for Dunlopillo, # 1 Latex mattress purveyors in the world.
I bought latex and the smell is still in my room after I returned it.
less is more!! love it. we tell people this all the time. unfortunately marketing folks at mattress companies need fluff to sell.
Great review! Slept on a latex core mattress for many years and enjoyed it. There’s a couple of other nuances as well. Latex is very heavy…my mattress was extremely difficult to move. It’s also buoyant, more of a bouncy feel. It has a smell (if it’s not produced properly) otherwise it smells floral which is nice. It’s an incredible material and should be considered when designing a mattress!
Does latex turn orange color after few years life foam. Thank you for excellent information . I’m making decision what mattress to buy.
Very informative
You guys made it easier. Thanks a lot for your channel
Thanks for watching, happy we can help!
Thank you very much 🎉
You're welcome. Thanks for watching the channel. Hope it helps in any way. Any questions, feel free to call the store. 😊
The problem with latex is some people are allergic. I found this out the hard way when I purchased a custom made mattress very similar to your store...family owned, great customer service, but every mattress had layers of latex. I ended up with a terrible reaction, red streaks up and down my arms and I was overheated. Hard lesson to learn, but it's important to also include people with allergies, different body types, etc...I am very small and am finding that mattresses are much too firm on my side and at the same time many of the foam type mattresses retain heat...like you said. I have already returned that mattress and am on my 3rd mattress about to return one or maybe both. One is hurting my sides and back and the other is too hot and still presses on my side/hips. I never had an issue before when I had a basic innerspring mattress and box spring, but the new mattresses they are making are just not the same quality.
Thanks for posting this. When they first mentioned latex, I thought Hmmm but, people are allergic to it. What mattress name did you end up with?
It's also not that comfortable.
probably you didn't get the natural and quality one, latex mattress suppose to be naturally hypoallergenic, but many brands try to reduce cost by adding diff chemical into the latex...Getha brand from Malaysia is the good standard of quality latex mattress that I plan to take soon, but still need to try which series to get.
💯 I've been searching for a mattress to replace an old mattress. However NONE of the other mattress come anywhere near as comfortable as my old super plush pillowtop mattress. Tried dozens of toppers thinking I could replicate the cloud softness of that old mattress, all have disappointed, even so called luxury toppers made with wool, horse hair, latex. What gives?!!!
I hope you see this. Try a genuine Japanese futon with the genuine layers. It's cotton. No latex allergy. But there's two more things to know. Latex allergy from latex mattresses are rare. What isn't rare is an allergy to the flame retardant that American mattresses are treated with. Unless the latex you bought was really cheap foam. Did you ever open up the mattress cover?
Valuable information
I should have hopped on YT before even starting the journey of finding a new bed. I had no idea how awful the experience would be in this world of foams and latex in everything now. These guys probably have solved some of the massive problems I came up against. Such a bummer. I lost so much sleep over years of trying to find a real bed again. I'm an excellent sleeper. The beds all just cooked me. I ended up sleeping on the floor or couch many nights, even blow up mattresses. Do your research everyone. Maybe these guys have solved the over-heating of latex problem that I found, even in super expensive brands. Not getting good sleep is a nightmare that is not necessary due to materials in beds. I finally bought a wool bed with springs. I wish i had just kept my old but perfectly fine mattress. How do you solve the latex heating issue? I bought hybrid mattresses and pure latex... cooked me just the same as foam. I tried for a full year with those thinking it would the solution.
What about serene foam the more advanced memory foam.
Personally, I prefer using natural latex for my King Sized Mattress and Tempur memory foam for pillows and boosters.
How may I buy a mattress from the distance, ie: Minnesota?
you guys didnt talk about alaylay or dunlop latex!?
Personally I tried both, and I prefer natural latex. It was hard to find/ buy.
I am seriously looking at purchasing an all-latex mattress. I may discuss with you all about making one with a dark gray cover.
Why would you get an all latex mattress? Most of it would go to waste. Get a coil spring mattress and put a latex topper on it.
PAblo Im 5' 8" 225 Big in Belly section. Kinda your stature but big belly lol.. Sidesleeper . Your right on limited on feel But i want a Latex for me cause it does last longer. i dont like my sons Temperpedic adapt feels like board to me. Im N.California and not stores to find or try Latex mattress Soft ? but supportive..Do you have recommendation even your Mattresses i can atleast look at?
TYna Keep your channel going Not enough info out there..
Latex in the firmer feel
Latex is cool and responsive sure, but the bounce kinda makes you feel it’s “resisting” your snuggle. It’s great for an afternoon nap, but not so when you want that really deep night’s slumber. If I am to choose, I prefer Latex with some complex foams and other materials. Sophisticated materials work great together to balance each others’ shortcomings.
True I have a latex pillow it feels so resistant why on earth would you make a pillow out this material
@@definitionXrp is it solid block or shredded? I have a Latex contour pillow it’s great for an Afternoon nap. Still prefer microfiber polyester pillows.
@@hastensavoir7782 solid block amd yes u are right about it being for day time resting
@@hastensavoir7782 Can you give a brand name of the pillow please. Which brand name mattress do you have? Thanks
what about temperpedic
What’s a good bed that won’t sag under $2k that isn’t memory foam?
they'll generally all sag, it's rare but you can find mattresses with a zipper cover so you can replace the sagging top layer(s). it's rare for the springs to ever be the problem.
Have you done a video on the best mattress for Hot Side sleepers?
If not what is the best setup?
I would also like to know the answer to this as I'm a hot side sleeper too. My foam mattress gets wayyyy too hot in the summer/spring months in Australia and my air con has just broken down right before it's about to get hot again. Would like to know if 100% natural latex is that much cooler to foam or would I be better off getting a hybrid (latex/foam/inner spring) mattress or just go back to an inner spring one. No idea what to do...
Thanks Edward, that is a video we need to do.
We’ll let you know through here when we do it!
The most important thing is , do the materials breathe.
The “cooling” materials are more gimmicks.
We have found using breathable materials are the most important aspect in keeping you cool.
That’s why we use wool and cotton in most of our mattresses.
Not polyester
@@sdmattressmakers Would 80% Cotton and 20% Polyester inhibit breathability all that much ? Literally was just about to buy a Cotton/Polyester mattress protector for my new Latex mattress (which I haven't bought yet lol).
I finally ended up buying a wool mattress as I found the same thing.
@@sdmattressmakers
Which latex mattress is good for a side sleeper i'll buy it right now
ES duo by engineered sleep
What about latex allergies?
I had two Temperpedics lasted about 7 years each. Neither lived up to the promised life span.
It’s like everything else nowadays - business interests are first (profits, legal protection). Care for the customers is treating them nice during the sale, no long-term commitments.
I'm in the new market for a 100% Latex mattress, I'm currently looking at the Posh and Lavish brand. Do you guys have any insight on the brand? Definitely on the pricer side.
Hey! Yes, we are familiar with Posh & Lavish. Have you had a chance to try out their mattresses? If so, was there one in particular that you liked? We would love to help you out!
@@sdmattressmakers I actually just purchased the all latex reveal model but it won't be delivered for a month so I might cancel the order lol, just not so sure spending so much when there isn't much online about them. But it was comfortable.
Which premier mattresses DONT use glue?
The Ultra High End brands. Vispring, Savoir, Hästens, Elite, Kluft, Hypnos.
I thought latex would be the solution but it slept just as hot as foam. I tried multiple times to do it and it's the exact same in my experience. I do not sleep "hot" btw... I feel that is a new concept everyone talks about now because almost every single mattress you buy now (last 10 years it seems) is just loaded with foam or latex. I spent the last 3 years just testing different ones. It has dramatically altered my health not sleeping good because of MATTRESSES. I should never have thrown out my old but perfectly fine mattress that I slept like a baby on. It has been a very hard road trying to find even one mattress that didn't cook me in these times. I finally landed on pure natural fibers with springs. Wool.
I have a Saatva latex hybrid mattress and found them to be wanting in firmness. After sleeping on what is supposed to be 100% latex layer is that it becomes lumpy after 3-5 months. The company sent me a brand new mattress and I am still dissatisfied. I did not find it to sleep any cooler either. Won’t ever purchase latex again.
Oh, I am so sorry to hear that was your experience with latex! Even though we love latex, it isn't for everyone but I hope you were able to find a different mattress that worked for you!
The "Biggest Reason" for NOT using Latex Foam that you guys NEVER even addressed is Latex Allergies! This should have been #1 Reason to NOT use Latex. I myself am VERY Allergic to Latex! I am talking raised red welts, Itching, and the worst being blistering of the skin! No joke! There seem to be quite ALOT of consumers who also have Latex Allergies! It might be a good idea for you to Add that to your List! T
Meh
Is latex better than memory foam?
Thanks for watching.
Here’s a video we’ve done which may help
czcams.com/video/ss3w5bL-GIE/video.html
Aren't there different standards of Latex Purity ?
You didn't mention WEIGHT of latex mattresses! They are heavy!
Good point!
Latex is heavy!
If we did 5 reasons, weight would probably be the 5th reason. 😊
300$ for that small cube of latex that is ripped off. I just bought branch new latex mattress (tier 4 or 5) with only 300$ (1m6x2m, 10cm thick)
Where did you buy it?
Most beautyrest black use latex…..sent that mainstream? It’s in every store I have been in
Down side to latex is it holds body heat even tho it has "holes" for air flow, it sleeps hot. (imo)
Hi Angela thanks for watching. I'm curious on the type of latex or mattress you tried that you had the heat issue? In our experience, latex does a great job at dissipating heat because of the breathability. There may have been some other factors which was causing heat issues.
You’re thinking of memory foam.
Not everyone is playing with a full deck!
I found the same thing.
I have 100% latex and live in Florida, I have found latex to be the coolest sleeping experience. Memory foam the hottest and all others are in between those 2 extremes. I’ve slept on mainstream latex mattress and found it slept like regular mattresses temperature wise, because it was latex with other layers. The pure latex (can see holes punched all the way through) sleeps very cool.
got a organic latex California king from sleep EZ as part of their black friday sale and everything said and done it was still just under $2600. thing is worht every penny.
I guess Vandelay Industries didn't do very well. Imagine if they had George as their latex salesman.
My favorite comment so far!
We actually used to have a latex mattress called the Vandelay!
@@sdmattressmakers That's cool.
I bought a latex pillow and it just stinks can’t stand the smell and it is all natural wasn’t cheap either. Stick with the memory foam as I am sure they add other chemicals to the latex as it couldn’t smell like that been natural
I live in south east Asia the smell is natural…because rubber is a naturally stinky material 🤢🤢🤢 it is already lighter smell than untreated rubber, I think the smell is still there because they packaged the mattress right away after producing it, so the smell trapped inside by the plastic covers..… untreated rubber smells worst…. like decaying plants & cow poop, I smell it every morning on the way to work because the truck that carries the untreated rubber from the plantation passes by the highway & the smells linger for a few hours 😂😂
poor sound .. uneven, hard to follow
Dumb commenter in the house!
Please stop swaying, I’m getting seasick watching this video.
Latex smells terrible and it doesn’t dissipate ever
🤔
Thanks for your input.
You’ve must’ve had a bad experience with latex. That hasn’t been our experience
Synthetic latex, try natural latex they don't smell
I just purchased one and I have experienced absolutely no smells whatsoever right out of the box first night - smelled nothing. Sorry you have had a bad experience.
