King Koil Bed – Natural Elegance
If you want a latex mattress but thought you couldn’t afford one then you haven’t looked at the King Koil Natural Elegance Collection. This model is made according to the high standards in the latex mattress industry, you will find that King Koil made a fantastic product.
It is clear that latex is once more a popular choice of the people. It is on the market for quite a while, but it lost the popularity due to introduction of urethane, which was a cheaper foam.
Many folks like the supportive qualities of memory foam – thanks to its ability to conform to the exact shape of the sleeper. But there are several disadvantages of memory foam mattress, it is an expensive product, smells bad, it doesn’t deal with heat well and is a bit harder in the cold rooms.
The price is what repells the buyers from having a latex mattress, although it doesn’t have any of these drawbacks we just mentioned. This is a shame as there are many excellent, cheaper brands on offer; the King Koil Natural mattress being a case in point. It’s a fraction of the cost of the Restonic foam mattress – the SpringFree.
When looking to buy a latex mattress you need to be aware that there are 3 types available; natural, synthetic and a mixture of both. You have two different ways to make latex. And the first method to be used is the oldest, of course. And then the latex is whipped with a lot of air so it turns into a foam, once heated, it becomes foam rubber. The advanced Talalay method is using vacuum process to get rid of air from the mixture, so there won’t be any air pockets and the rubber will be distributed evenly throughout the mold. The final step is addition of CO2 into the mixture, in order to gain consistency. Talalay is the finest latex you can find in the world today. You can even get a good Jamison mattress if you go with this material.
Big number of bed reviews sites gave a fantastic ratings to this model. Sure, there are some brands that offer higher quality product, but you won’t find none of them in the same price range.
Choosing Between Expensive Natural And Cheap Latex Mattress
There is no doubt that natural latex beds are more expensive than their synthetic counterparts. You can get and affordable mattress if you choose synthetic latex because it is made out of petroleum based chemicals, in compariosn to expensive natural latex we have to harvest from rubber trees. It could be said that some natural mattresses contain filler to reduce the cost, but the same is true for synthetic models as well. Always check what kind of materials are used in mattress production, since they are responsible for mattress quality and its durability.
On the other hand, 100% natural latex mattresses are some of the most hypo-allergenic sleep surfaces available. Natural latex gives the opportunity for a good sleep to all those people who suffer from allergies, airborne dust and pollen. Where a synthetic latex is more likely to cause chemical reactions, a natural one is even resistant to mold and disease. And this is just enough for millions of consumers to pay higher price for the product, because they think the benefits offered will improve their life.
There are several well-respected organic latex mattress makers, including some manufacturers that have long histories in the science of mattress making. Some of the most popular latex foam mattresses are the Englander Nature’s Choice mattress, the Restonic HealthRest mattress, and the popular Simmons Natural Care mattress, all three of which are made with 100% organic latex, and intended to increase the health benefits of natural latex over synthetic latex mattresses. I suggest you see these models, since they are the closest thing to a cheap mattress set out there.
The single most common complaint about natural latex mattresses is the way they retain body heat. A lot of people have trouble with this and they wake up all sweaty and wet.Because the technology is improving, this problem is not longer present and it is not possible to provide quality latex foam beds with great fabric on the top so the heat that is released form the body will be conducted and the sleep experience will be much better.
