Hi Bev,

I can understand your frustration, I’m guessing from the page you are on you’re comparing Memory Foam to Latex.

As our post describes they are too very different foams.

They both offer good progressive comfort, support and pressure relieving.

The difference is the quality and durability of the two different foams.

Memory Foam is a completely synthetic material, that has been developed over years to provide a slow sink like feel, allowing it to mould to heat.

So when you get on it and it warms up it start to conform to the shape of your body.

Memory Foam is very good at this, but is limited in its ability to keep reacting in a consistent fashion, that is after years of usage the reaction rate of it will slow down.

This is common in all foams.

Therefore if you are choosing Memory Foam you need to ensure its a high quality ‘Vasco foam’ to ensure its durable.

Latex on the other hand is a much more durable and resilient material.

At its highest quality 100% Natural it can’t be beaten in terms of progressive comfort and longevity.

With it being a natural form of rubber its incredibly responsive and resilient, far more than memory foam.

Yes Latex is more expensive but will far outlast Memory Foam and has been shown to be more durable in comparable tests.

It will however feel softer in warmer rooms than colder ones but isn’t reliant on heat like Memory Foam.

Its breathable by nature so is a cooler foam.

There are many different blends of latex.

If your decision is based solely on budget and it doesn’t stretch to our Latex, I would recommend that you buy a high quality Memory Foam bed, at the top end of your budget rather than a cheaper synthetic latex bed.

I hope that helps.

Kind Regards Gary
