What a difference a mattress makes! Overnight, I went from tossing and turning on a mattress that was hard as a rock to slumbering like a baby on one that is soft as a cloud. I’m also pleased to report that Wish #1 on my Wish List has now been fulfilled thanks to Anthony Page, the creative owner of a mattress company in Massapequa Park called SleepWorks. My husband and I stopped there to test a NaturaWorld mattress we were interested in that was priced within our budget. The mattress we tried was made with layers of plant-based foam along with a layer of Talalaly latex and it was super comfortable. Then we tried another mattress made of 100 percent Talalay latex and that one was even more comfortable.
I explained to Anthony that I really wanted an all-latex Talalay mattress but my husband had limits to what he would pay for it. So Anthony figured out how to combine a mattress topper from NaturaWorld with a narrow base from Latex International to get us the mattress we wanted at the price we could afford. It took longer than we’d hoped to get the mattress, but we now know that it was worth the wait. We got a couple of NaturaWorld’s Organic Cloud Pillows, too, which are made with an organic wool that wicks away moisture that causes chills and overheating. The antimicrobial, allergen- and bacteria-resistant pillows also keep nighttime sniffles at bay.
Here are 10 good reasons to sleep on a Talalay latex mattress:
1. It contours to the body’s natural curves
in any sleeping position
2. It offers superior support and comfort in any
sleeping position
3. It comes in a choice of firmness options
4. It returns to its original shape night after night
5. It’s long lasting and exceptionally durable
6. Its ventilated open-cell design reduces
moisture buildup
7. It’s naturally dust mite-resistant and antimicrobial
8. It reduces stress on pressure points
9. It reduces tossing and turning
10. It absorbs motion transfer
A good mattress isn’t just an indulgence, it’s better for your health, too.
Surveys by The Better Sleep Council suggest that two thirds of Americans lose sleep due to stress and one third lose at least one night per week of good sleep due to some form of insomnia. A high-quality natural latex mattress can help keep you from becoming one of those statistics.
