Why Do Natural Latex Mattresses Last Longer Than Your Regular Mattress?

A latex mattress should endure for at least ten years. The longevity of various forms of latex varies. Natural latex has a longer lifespan than synthetic latex.

Natural latex mattresses may last up to 20 years if properly cared for. Latex, whether synthetic or hybrid, should last 6 to 10 years. Latex mattresses have a longer lifespan than normal mattresses, which have a lifespan of 5 to 7 years. 

How do they Sag?

All mattresses droop with wear and tear over time, but latex sags less than traditional mattresses, avoiding you from feeling uncomfortable pressure points for a longer length of time. 

Natural/Organic VS Synthetic Latex

The sag factor is a measurement that indicates how quickly a material recovers after being exposed to a severe load.

The greater the sag factor, the more comfy the mattress should be. The sag factor of a mattress can be affected by the manufacturing process.

Over 10 years, you should not notice any drooping in natural latex. Sag factors of 4 or 5 are common in high-quality natural latex mattresses like Dunlop latex and natural Talalay latex.

Latex might soften with time, causing pressure points from hard locations beneath your bed, such as slats. However, during 10 years, latex softens only 15 to 20%. 

Where does Natural Latex Mattress stand among all other Mattresses?

Chemicals derived from petroleum are used to manufacture synthetic latex. Aside from being prone to off-gassing, synthetic latex softens by up to 60% during 10 years.

It's more prone to sag, diminishing the immediate pressure relief it provides. Synthetic latex is also more likely than natural latex to develop mildew and attract dust mites.
