House dust mites, those tiny little critters that love to hang our with their human hosts, can be troublesome for those with allergies or asthma. We have a previous blog about reducing them in your house, but what about eliminating them from your mattress? Can that be done? Yes! A 100% natural latex mattress is naturally dust-mite free due to its unique qualities. What exactly are those unique qualities?
A completely all-natural latex mattress is made from the sap of a rubber tree. It is antibacterial, hypoallergenic, and dust mite-free. It is also very comfortable and completely recyclable when it is past its useful life.
If you want all of the unique qualities an all-natural latex mattress offers, be sure to select a mattress that is 100% natural latex. Many companies will call their mattress “natural” when it really has just a small amount of natural latex in it and the rest of the latex is synthetic and made of petrochemicals. Before buying any “natural” latex mattress, ask directly if there is any synthetic latex at all in the mattress.
