If you've decided it's time to get a new mattress, you may be wondering if you should buy a "traditional" memory foam mattress or the "new" organic latex mattress you've been hearing so much about lately.

Here is some information to help you choose:

As you search for a new mattress, understand that you should pick one that will support your whole body without putting strain on your pressure points. Sleep on an organic latex mattress and you'll no doubt find that you toss and turn less in your sleep because your body won't need to "find" a comfortable position.

A latex mattress is made up of about 95 percent rubber (the rest is comprised of chemicals left over after the vulcanization and curing process, which include zinc oxide and sodium). The chemicals get washed out in the final parts of the production process, leaving you with about a 99 percent organic latex mattress.

Your organic mattress can last up to 25 years. It can help reduce back, shoulder and neck pain. You'll also find the quality of your sleep will improve. You'll pay more for this type of mattress, but you won't need to buy a new one in 10 or 15 years, as you would for another type of mattress.a

Memory foam mattresses also will conform to your body. These types of mattresses are made of millions of open cells. Air moves between these open cells, which allows the foam to support you, contour to your body's shape and relive pressure points.

You may have a hard time choosing between a memory foam mattress and an organic latex mattress because both are high quality products.

However...

A latex mattress bounce back into shape when you get off the bed or change position while in it. The open-cell structure also lets air circulate around you, which means you'll stay cooler in summer and warmer in winter. An organic latex mattress, because it's made of natural material, is hypoallergenic, meaning you or your loved ones won't have to deal with allergans, molds and dust mites as you slumber.
