From Elena -
I am allergic to natural latex… is this compound in mattresses??
Hi Elena,
The latex that is used in mattresses goes through a process in which it is washed with soap and water, this strips the “touch sensitive” impurities that some people are allergic to.
However, if you’re still nervous about latex allergies, there are plenty of mattresses which don’t feature any latex. You can call us at 1-800-455-1052 to speak with a mattress expert and they can tell you exactly what’s in each mattress.
It’s important to avoid any mattress containing natural rubber latex. Any amount of proteins from an exposure can be serious for a person with natural rubber latex allergy.

Thanks for the links to some great information.
Anyone with a latex allergy should also speak to their doctor for any medical advice in regards to what you’re allergic to.
And it’s always better to be safe rather than sorry…so call us directly to make sure the mattress you’re ordering doesn’t contain latex.
