Hypoallergenic qualities of latex
What protection does latex provide against house dust, house dust mites and other causes of allergy?
Hi Martin,
Thanks for your question.
All mattresses are suceptible to anything like dust mites, house dust etc. Generally, you tend to find them more with mattresses with natural fillings but they aren't exclusive to those mattresses.
What we advise is that with latex you can potentially smell the chemicals used in the fire retardants; These are Phosphorous and Nitrogen. This will be dependent on your suceptibility and sensitivities. Our Fusion range of mattresses are fully breathable whilst providing a cool sleep surface.
If you think this is an issue then it might be worth checking out a company online called Allersafe. They produce and retail mattress encasements that help to protect against allergies. These are effectively a sheet that go around the mattress that you zip and this helps to combat allergies.
I hope this has answered your questions fully but if you do have any further queries please don't hesitate to contact me on 0161 437 4419.
Kind Regards, Lee.
