Latex Mattress Reviews and Ratings -- Based on Data From Over 455 Actual Owners

Page last updated Feb 4, 2010



 

What You Need To Know
According to our research, latex mattresses as a group have a comfort rating of 80%. This is nearly identical to memory foam, air, and waterbed ratings.

The main complaint for latex mattresses in general is premature sagging / body impression development. Overall, their durability / longevity is fair to good.

Be sure to read latex mattress advantages and disadvantages based on actual owner data.

Prices can vary substantially, mainly due to the amount of latex used. Owner data suggests that paying more for a latex bed does not appear to result in noticeably higher satisfaction. Personal preference, however, may require that a more expensive mattress be bought.

Our research shows there is more inconsistency in satisfaction among latex mattress brands than there is among brands of other mattress types.

Finally, see what is a latex mattress.

Owners who dislike their mattress typically use one or more of the following phrases or words to describe it: too firm, causes pain, has odor, too hot, uncomfortable, lacks support, sagging/compressing, develops body impressions.


Latex Mattress Brands?
Our research at least currently does not emphasize evaluating specific latex mattress brands, but rather the category as a whole.

This is because our data, as you see below, mostly involves many individual brands with small, insignificant sample sizes (with the exception of Sealy SpringFree). In addition, many owners included in our research were unaware of or did not mention their latex mattress brand.

Below we provide, however, data we have collected on brands because having some idea of owner satisfaction is better than having none. Keep in mind that the ratings in most cases are not statistically significant. Also know that this is not a complete list of latex mattresses available.
