I am looking for a mattress for my back, and think 100% latex could be the answer.but I seem to be allergic to latex gloves. Is this a problem?

Hi Peter,

If you’re allergic to latex gloves then you should definitely avoid a latex mattress. It’s the protein in latex that usually causes the allergic reaction and although our latex is washed and then covered we couldn’t guarantee that the protein is not still found on the covers. It’s always best to be safe than sorry!

We would advise that you look for a natural fibre alternative such as our Artisan Naturals mattress to be on the safe side.
