Memory foam verses Latex - Which product is right for my body?

Memory foam mattresses, mattress toppers, & pillows: How do i know which ones suit me best, or should i be looking for a natural latex mattress or latex topper or latex pillow?

You really will never know until you get home and spend the night on it or them. You will certainly not get a true reading just by lying on the item in a store. It is all too quick, and you will most probably have a sales person subjecting you to everything that you want to hear about the upsides of these products.

So is a memory foam mattress or topper or pillow everything it is hyped up to be, and should you consider alternatives to memory foam such as natural rubber latex or traditional foam, or in the case of a mattress perhaps an inner spring?

We would say if you have a limited budget, then you should look at those options, and where latex is concerned it is a beautiful product. If it is the desired density such as the softer Naturelle contoured pillow then by all means keep your options open. But memory foam in pillows, mattresses, or mattress toppers should be right up there. Not necessary the panacea, but very good if the marriage of density, comfort , and product longevity is right.

And don’t forget one thing: You will probably not need to purchase a new mattress if your existing one is still in fair shape. The mattress topper, or mattress pad, is a wonderful alternative and you simply place it under your bottom sheet and you will get many more years out of your tired mattress. What the topper does is restore the pressure and support properties by spreading your body’s load evenly.

And what a mattress topper does is avoid ANOTHER mattress being dumped in your municipal tip. Now isn’t that a good thing for the planet?!
