Yume Latex Mattress H16cm

Latex mattress – model “Yume”H 16.5cm with diamond patterned cotton lining. The complete removability of the mattress allows dry cleaning of the cover.100% natural latex ?!? All-natural latex does not exist because the rubber (basic component) made from the rubber tree, if not treated with acrylic additives, tends to pulverize in a short time. So beware that the statement “…100% latex…” does not mean that the mattress is “…100% natural…” . In contrast, a mattress may be declared 100% latex and contain as little as 1% rubber. Obviously the higher the percentage of rubber the higher the cost of the mattress as well.Unfortunately, there is no legislation requiring mattress manufacturers to declare the quality and composition of the latex used; furthermore, there is currently no tool within the consumer’s reach to help them determine the quality of the latex they are purchasing. The customer then has no choice but to rely on the merchant’s reputation and seriousness. In any case somewhat loosely it can be said that the softer the latex, the more natural it is. The latex used in our mattresses has a percentage of rubber ranging from 30% to 40%. We believe, with this percentage, that we offer the right compromise between quality, price and durability of the mattress (remember that the more natural latex is, the less durable it is).We hope this information will help you understand why “100% latex” mattresses can be found on the market at such different prices.
