Latex Mattresses became so popular in the last few years but the memory foam mattresses became popular a little bit earlier. As far as I know, the words popularity and quality aren't synonyms. Memory foam mattresses are more time present on the market, but this doesn't mean they have better features. Let me tell you the pros and cons of both Latex Mattresses and Memory Foam than you can create summary so at the bottom line you'll find out what type of mattress to buy.
Memory Foam advantages:
Natural Mattress Pads
Great back supporting bed mattresses. With their structure, the mattress surface is transforming to shape the couture of your body without creating pressure, reducing the pain of your back and bringing you a peaceful sleeping. Provide less tossing and turning and less partner disturbance.
Memory Foam disadvantages:
Memory foam isn't organic material so if you are allergic to some of the chemical contents that are used in the production of the memory mattress, there is a possibility to get some skin reaction. Because of these chemicals this bed mattress can smell strangely. The new mattress takes long time to break-in. If you don't have tried this type of mattress than maybe you'll need some time (sometimes a month) to get used to the firmness of the mattress and it's adjustment to your body. To make this adjusting period shorter, it is a good advice to walk on the mattress with your knees and hands. If you are sweating a lot while sleeping, I do not recommend a memory foam mattresses for you because they can be really warm especially in summer. They are really expensive. The cheapest memory foam mattress is 0-0 and the HQ mattress can cost up to 00-00 and this can be considered as a disadvantage.
Latex mattresses advantages:
The natural latex mattress is made of natural rubber and can contain ingredients up to 90% of organic origin; also I'd like to mention that it is dust mite, odor and moisture resistant. These are the reasons why the latex mattresses are hypoallergenic and they are the perfect choice for people who suffer form different kinds of skin allergy, asthma or similar respiratory diseases. You'll never get up with "dead arm" or "dead leg" syndrome because these mattresses are adjusting to the spines of your body and that's why they're number one on the recommendation list by most of the orthopedic specialists. Opposite of the foam the latex is a great thermal insulator. In the core of the mattress there are little pipes that allow air circulation providing regulation of the temperature while you are sleeping. Latex Mattresses will make you warm or cool depending on the season.
Latex mattresses disadvantages:
The Latex Mattresses, just like the memory foam are expensive too. This fact can be considered as a disadvantage, but I think maybe the only one. In comparison to memory foam bed mattress the cheapest Latex Mattress is 0-0 and the cost of the HQ mattresses is approximately the same.
