Organic Latex Mattress Vs Natural Latex Mattress - What's the difference and Who Cares?
In this report I want to clear the air as to what constitutes "Certified Organic" vs. The all natural aka "botanically derived latex" used by manufacturers of latex foam mattresses. As of today there is only one truly Usda/Eu Certified Organic Latex used for latex mattress cores and latex mattress toppers. The enterprise that business that stock has very miniature amounts ready so there are only a handful of mattress factories in the United States that can even get their hands on it.
Organic Latex Mattress Vs Natural Latex Mattress - What's the difference and Who Cares?
The enterprise that has broken the "Certified Organic Latex" wall is Latex Green placed in Sri Lanka. This has taken years to accomplish. Latex Green had to detach a large part of their rubber tree plantation and keep it free from any chemical pesticides and chemical fertilizers for years until it was ultimately awarded the organic certification in both the Us and Eu. In addition, a measure of the manufacturing plant had to also be isolated and kept sterile. This was a major undertaking and huge expense to pull this off but Latex Green's commitment to the earth and our environment has been nothing short of commendable and greatly appreciated by those of us who offer non-toxic sleep solutions.
Here's what Latexco, the only authorized seeder in the U.S., had to say about this long journey- "In order to meet the requirements for certification Latex Green segregated a section of the Plantation. The Usda requires that there be no chemical fertilizers or pesticides used on the trees or ground for a minimum of 4 years before any sap can be collected. After purging for 4 years the sap is collected and stored in a detach facility. It is then mixed, processed, poured, washed and packaged separately using detach tool so as not to contaminate. You will observation that even the pincore pattern of the Organic is somewhat separate from the regular (natural but not certified organic latex) Naturalux. That is because the newly commissioned molds used to furnish the Organic are used solely for that purpose and never used to furnish other products, assuring that there is no intermingling, residue or trace contamination. The material is also packaged in foil lined paper and stored separately in both the Lg and our facility. This has been a long and precious process requiring years of commitment, diligence and venture but the results are the World's First Truly Organic Natural Latex".

When Mithra from the R&D division at Latex Green was asked "How does the organic latex mattress cores differ from the natural latex cores?" the write back was as follows in regards to the harvesting of natural "botanically derived" latex. "According to our plantation comments, it is coarse that fertilizers are being used at the very early stages until the rubber tree is grown and ready for tapping. Once the tapping starts (approx in 06-07 years) and the trees come to be mature, the use of fertilizers is reduced gently allowing the tree to reserve the increase on its own. The plantations that we fetch latex from have trees that are over 20 years old and therefore the need to use fertilizers has come to be unimportant.
Secondly, we use 100% natural latex in our compounds with no fillers or synthetic latex added. Therefore, we also think that our products can be recognized as "Botanically Derived Latex products".
So the bottom line is that the only real discrepancy is the use or non-use of fertilizers in the early stages of plant development. As explained above, even the natural latex, that is technically botanically derived, uses very miniature if any chemical fertilizers at its harvesting age. The ensue up interrogate I have asked is about the use of pesticides which will be the topic of a ensue up report once I receive the reply but I expect a similar response.
The only remaining interrogate would be one to ask of yourself, as organic latex mattresses are almost 1/3 higher in price, and that is "how pure do you absolutely need to go" when buying a natural latex mattress. As a side note, there has never been a reported case of a latex allergy related with a latex mattress, latex mattress topper or latex pillow according to the Fda and that's because any residual chemicals that may have been gift in the fulfilled, latex all get washed away during the 5 step rinsing process.
So to wholly eliminate any inherent chemical contamination the Certified Organic Latex would be the adored choice. The likelihood that there are any dangers in natural botanically derived latex is extremely doubtful but not inconceivable. The remaining interrogate is "is the discrepancy in price worth the minimal risk"? My conclusion is this; there is no wrong selection here. Both solutions are head above heels best than any other sleep stock on the shop today. You plainly cannot go wrong with either an organic latex mattress or a natural latex mattress.
