Most American style mattresses use
synthetic foam for the comfort layer. This material
is often fragile and breaks down quickly. Synthetic
foam does not support the body correctly (too stiff
or too soft), and traps moisture making for hotter
sleeping temperatures and a favorable climate for
dust mites, molds, and mildew.

Benefits of Latex
At Ergo Customized Comfort we use the highest
quality latex foam rubber. Latex foam provides
the proper support for the back and does not sag
allowing for even cushioning. Latex also lasts
3-4 times as long as synthetic polyfoam and is
moisture resistant preventing mold, dust, and
bacteria from forming. The unique design of the
latex material used in our Silhouette®
mattresses provides added shoulder comfort (pressure
relief) and air circulation (breath ability) that
is superior to all other latex or foam mattresses
on the market. For more information read how latex
is used with Ergo’s

Not all latex mattresses are equal
If you want to bid farewell to inner spring mattresses forever, you'll discover fairly quickly that all latex mattresses are not created equal. The questions below will help you narrow your search and understand why a latex mattress can help you feel better – tonight.
- Why is latex good for my body?
- What's the difference between all-natural and synthetic latex?
- What's the difference between standard and Talalay latex?
- Can I have a synthetic and natural latex combo mattress?
Why is latex good for my body?
Support
Whether you prefer a firm or plush sleep surface, Ergo offers a wide range of latex mattresses that address many sleep and health concerns. Understanding the different types of latex will help you find the right one for you.
Unlike a spring mattress that acts like a shock absorber and pushes back, latex supports all the unique contours of your body. Instead of forcing your spine into a straight line, the buoyancy of latex allows your muscles, joints and spine to relax naturally.
Less tossing and turning
Because your body is relaxed and NOT receiving roll-over signals from pain or discomfort, a deeper, more restful sleep is easier to achieve. And when partnered with the benefits of wool (as all our mattresses are) nighttime movement is reduced by as much as 75%. What's more, latex doesn't bounce like a spring mattress, so when your partner rolls over, your sleep isn't disturbed.
Healthier breathing environment
Latex has a unique ventilating system that makes it a breathable, allergen-free, moisture-reduced sleeping environment. The unique open-cell structure of natural latex allows moist air to pass through naturally and dissipate quickly. In fact, it's 300% more resistant to dust mites than any other foam, making it the ideal choice for allergy sufferers.
What's the difference between natural and synthetic latex?
Most latex manufacturers in the Far East and Africa (Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Ivory Coast etc.) use 100% natural latex from rubber trees. Synthetic latex is a petrochemical blend of styrene and butadiene and has a similar molecular structure – but lacks the proteins that contribute to allergies.
Natural latex is highly elastic, which makes it both buoyant and supportive for pressure points. Synthetic latex has the same supportive and long-lasting lifespan of natural latex but it's much less expensive.
Worried about a latex allergy? The truth is, latex is a touch-allergy and you can't suddenly get it from being near latex. If you're allergic to latex, it's from birth, (though it may not become apparent until exposure). A latex mattress won't affect an allergy because our mattresses are wrapped in wool and then sealed in a protective outer layer of cotton or poly/cotton blend ticking.
What's the difference between Standard and Talalay latex?
Standard (sometimes referred to as Dunlop) and Talalay latex are the different ways of processing natural latex. While some companies throw the terms around with hints about quality or longevity, they mostly refer to firmness.
During the Talalay process, air is vacuumed from the foam as its flash frozen. Imagining the open cell structure of a sea sponge and how easily air moves through it is the best way to describe Talalay latex.
During the Dunlop process, air is not removed and the freezing stage is skipped – the cell structure is not open. These millions of balloons compress when you lie on the mattress, which makes a Dunlop latex mattress denser and firmer.
Both Talalay and Standard latex are often used in the same mattress to achieve levels of firmness neither can achieve alone.
