To get that sought after Memory Foam body contouring, you no longer have to accept that there is no natural alternative to synthetic construction..
Memory Foam is derived from NASA-inspired technology and it is true that for many of its early years of development natural Memory Foam was not an option. But that has changed. Many quality brands now offer natural plant-based products.
An All-natural memory foam mattress combines plant-based raw material with recycled foam polymers. There is a lower carbon footprint associated with Green Memory Foam because the plant material used is grown in Asia without deforestation and the byproduct is used as cattle food ensuring that there is no raw material waste. In addition, the foam is made with activated carbon scrubbers that support clean-air manufacturing and a fiber based fire retardant is used.
Much of this segment of the Memory Foam market is populated by products constructed from natural latex which is made from the milky sap of the rubber tree. It is non-toxic and environmentally safe. In addition, you don’t have to give up quality for environmental consciousness. Natural latex is durable and stands up to heavy usage. An additional benefit – particularly to asthma sufferers and others with breathing difficulties – comes in the fact that natural latex is hypo-allergenic, anti-bacterial and resistant to bed bugs and dust mites.
Natural latex foam is affected less by changes in humidity and temperature. These natural mattresses do not become damp, from perspiration or other sources, and remain well ventilated even when not in use. This is because natural latex is comprised of small pin-like holes that ensure air distribution to pass away moisture and evenly distribute weight.
In fact, latex and standard Memory Foam mattresses are the best option available for allergy sufferers. Traditional inner spring mattresses are the worst option for allergy sufferers because the interior cavity is the perfect incubating environment for dust mites. Conversely, latex and standard Memory Foam mattresses are the best option because their cores are not hollow and there fore provide no areas for dust mites to thrive or for allergens to accumulate.
So, absolutely Memory Foam mattresses can be natural. As the ever-evolving bedding market continues to expand, manufacturers have heard the call from customers and reacted with the development of high-quality, all natural, Memory Foam products
