- One of the most expensive mattresses on the market is made from natural latex. It’s hypoallergenic, biodegradable, and more durable than memory foam. You can buy a memory-foam mattress for a few hundred dollars, but natural latex mattresses usually cost over $1,500 and can exceed $2,000. Latex sap from rubber trees is in high demand from dozens of industries, including car tires. This high demand has caused deforestation and displacement of farmers in places like Cambodia. Some mattress companies source their latex from organic and fair-trade-certified farms in places like Guatemala, but the latex from these farms comes at a premium compared to the latex from noncertified plantations. We explored why natural latex mattresses are so expensive.

Editor's note: We're clarifying a statement made at 0:22. While natural latex is resistant to dust mites, mold, and mildew, the latex itself can still be considered an allergen. Avocado does not claim that its mattresses are hypoallergenic and recognizes that they might not be appropriate for those with an existing latex allergy. We regret the error.

Why Natural Latex Mattresses Are So Expensive | So Expensive | Insider Business
You know… Is it just me or does $2,600 for a natural premium mattress not seem too expensive in the grand scheme of things.
It's just u
Not just you- if every person in the process was actually adequately and fairly compensated for their labor it would be much more than $2,600
I just looked up how much i paid for my queen, on sale. Was 4700$. I gotta check to see what it's made of lol, its comfy for sure
When you spend at least a 1/3 of your life on it... it's pennies in comparison to most things we waste money on.
@@SandrA-hr5zk noo...most things you waste money on. We don't have money to waste
Everybody talking about their mattresses, but how awesome is Doroteo? Man is skilled and knowledgeable and passionate about his work!
It's a documentary he's not going to be on there like these rubber trees are the cause of my depression I'm living in a 3rd world hellacape this is the only job for 60 miles.
Doroteo is the tree master! 🌳
Well at $2,600 it’s not all that expensive considering how it is made and it being 100% natural, but a $1,000 for a FOAM is definitely expensive
True!!
It's all markup. You can get a premium king sized 3" foam topper for $350-500, one could build a king mattress for less than 1500 with the best quality possible. One could build a budget queen for less than $800 that would make most mattresses blush, let alone mattresses of similar pricing.
Also finding the pictured foam in this video is Dunlop processed, which is considered lesser by many mattress folks.
At that price tag I think I would rather sleep on a bale of straw. It's 100% natural too.
they are alot less, this brand has 2600dollar model, but you can find natural latex mattresses for 500-1000 depending on the size and way its made
define natural
Doroteo is the man.
Precise, intelligent, and comes off as being very kind.
Wish you all the best amigo!

I have an organic natural latex mattress and it was definitely expensive and worth every single penny. My back was injured after a car accident, and I got so much relief after I got my mattress a year or two after my accident. I would buy it over and over again.
OK. can you buy it once for me please.?
What's the brand?
do you still have it? I was worried about natural deterioration over time.
My neck pain stopped after replacing feather pillow with latex pillow. Our latex mattress is more than 10 years old and still in perfect condition. No need to turn every few months like spring mattress. It is very heavy.
@@mike4402 I've had my 9" solid org nat latex mattress (firm) for 23 yrs already with no signs of deterioration. I bought so long ago, don't remember the name. They aren't any more than Temporpedic which is horrible with chemicals. Latex gets firmer over time.
Gotta be honest this is the first product that the price is understandable. Mattresses can last over a decade if treated right so I’m willing to spend money on a good one.
More than a decade
A Natural latex mattress can last for 20 years 😮
my buddy has one from 57 , got it at a garage sale , its like new, but stiff lol@@filbao8113
I am used to polyurethane and spring mattresses, its my first time seeing latex being used in mattresses. I get educated every time I check out this channel.
Except when they talk about shit related to vaccines and climate change, I would agree.
They're amazing
They're really good
@@brentwilburyou’re so smart.
Give cotton mattress a try it is cheaper, I am using it in Egypt
Buying a latex mattress was one of the best purchases I ever made. I ended up buying standalone components with the help of the mattress underground forum.
The latex is so much more breathable than memory foam so you sleep super cool
Do you have to do anything special to care for them?
I once ordered one for roughly 1200€, made in Germany.
I sent it back because it was heavy as hell and not firm. I hadn't that on mind and somebody should keep it on mind when buying a latex mattress.
Getting it from the floor into the bed is a pain in the ass and almost impossible alone without ripping something. The mattress is heavy and not firm. Feels like handling a dead body. And flipping the mattress - which one should do regularly according to the manufacturer - is a pain in the ass, too. And I am a guy. I dare to say it's impossible for women and elderly to handle those mattresses without extreme hassle.
Plus, the mattress was way too soft. I ordered medium degree of firmness and I had back pain which i never had before. I sleep on my back and for this hard mattresses are better. Maybe the hard one would have been better, who knows.
But the weight of latex mattresses is a huge drawback.
Did you buy it from Arizona Mattress? I got mine in components as well: 8in springs, 3in firm talalay and 2in medium talalay and my life has been changed
@@smallego8068 "But the weight of latex mattresses is a huge drawback."
Just don't use brute force. Use your brain when moving things.
Use the cover to pull it up, or just unscrew 2 feet from the bed.
There's so many options you could have chosen instead of just caveman brute force, lol.
@@awemowe2830 Agreed, I purchased a SleepEZ Roma latex mattress and while it is heavy as hell once you have it set-up you can easily rotate or flip it. All you have to do is do one section first and the other section second. Latex unlike other matresses can easily be folded since it's soo flexable. For example, if I need to flip the mattress, you simply flip one section on top of the other (like a sandwich) and pull the second section from beneath it and that's it. It's that simple to flip a latex mattress. Because of the flexibility it's much simpler to flip a latex mattress than a traditional mattress. Rotating it is even easier.
I've been on latex mattresses for 15 years. It's great. My current one only cost $700, infused with charcoal (supposedly to eliminate odors since some people complain that it can smell like chocolate - as if that would be a bad thing). Anyway, they're great and good for the back.
What company?
It is not a good smell of chocolate. And by 20 minutes you are find it a awfull smell.
@@chasek8216 He doesn't have one. He sleeps alone.
@@laramaaike3050 all natural latex matress smells like vanilla or an egzotic plant. not all latex matress cores are %100 natural which derived from tree sap as shown in this video.
avoid synthetic blend (%80) latex matresses, esspecially if its origin of manufaturer can not be identified. so many toxic volatile chemicals can be added to manufacture synthetic rubber which is an economical alternative to natural latex and as a consumer you have way of telling whether it has harmful (cancerous) active ingredients or not without a certification for that specific matress core
So, when are you gonna get out of bed? That's an awful long time to be on a mattress. lol
I bought a latex mattress 10 yrs ago and it is still going strong. As someone who has allergic reactions to chemicals it was difficult to find something to sleep on that was all natural. I found a company called sleep on latex and was able to customize the width. I went with them because their mattress is 100% natural... all they use is the latex... no fillers, chemical stabilizers, etc. I flip it once a month. If/when this thing starts to "compress" I will certainly be getting another one.
Is it soft or does it feel rubbery
@@JaWs_BH I'm not sure how to describe it. It doesn't feel "rubbery" as say a rubber ducky. It is porous... kind of like a sponge. That being said, when I purchased mine there was no covering... just the mattress. I see that now it comes with a covering of organic wool and organic cotton. What a luxury!
I was looking for a mattress a few years back, and when comparing prices, the memory foam ran close to 2k, just for memory foam. I was confounded. For a heavy metal foam retardant memory foam mattress, the bed industry wanted customers to pay 2k. nothing in and on the mattress was natural. It's crazy.
They add chemicals to the latex too...
Your 10 year old mattress hasn't even started to sag in any parts at all?
I love how much they care for and respect the trees
yes I was so impressed how they are doing great till I hear they ship to Los Angeles company called Avocado (environmentally not so friendly and controversial ) and I laughed.
@@Mansikkacake why did you laugh, this is business. I could point out 1000 things you use every day directly/indirectly that aren't particularly good for people or the planet, but that's life, so get used it, instead of laughing in a know it all way, when you really don't.
They care about the money they produce. They destroyed 2000 acres of forest for this plantation.
@@faaabj They replaced the forest with a new one. That is much better than building an industrial site that only produces waste. They are taking good care of the forest they built. They do respect those trees reguardless of the reason. 🤷🏽♀️
@@faaabjfacts
I have an Avocado latex mattress and it is amazing. Weights a TON but was worth every penny.
How do you compare it to Cotton mattress?
In Egypt I have cotton, it take the body shape and it cools the back in the summer
I have avocado too. Best mattress I have ever had.
Same, love mine
@JohnSmith-ks5xw is it latex too.? And how does it compare to a regular mattress? What's it like? I'm interested
@@edgarhernandez8003 It is springs, but has a latex layer on top. I think it's far superior to a regular mattress for so many reasons. To list a few, it's all natural so there's no chemicals. Think about it, your face is in it for 8 hours a night; what you breathe in and have contact with is important (at least I think). In addition, it stays cool. I have a boxspring with slats underneath so that my body heat can escape. I never get too hot. You may notice that you go to sleep comfortably, but wake up and you're super hot. That's because your body heat gets trapped and it gets hotter and hotter. Not an issue with the proper mattress and box spring. I looked into getting a pure latex mattress and they are extremely expensive and I heard they can sag in the middle over time. I think quality springs are good and springs serve a valuable function. I did tons of research before buying it years ago (been so happy with it) and it seemed to have the best of everything and check all the boxed. I have recommended it to other people and I know of at least 2 people I recommended it to that got it and they are as happy with it as I am. Let me know if you have specific questions and I will try my best to answer them (Avocado really should hire me lol).
I grew up going to my aunt's job where they dealt wholesale with poly foams. We always had mattress toppers, but the best thing I had were the latex pillows. I now own a Kluft mattress and topper, and got two pillows too. Quality craftmanship with natural materials is the best investment.
I like how they make 2600 seem like its on the expensive side for mattresses 😂
no doubt. price a sleep number recently?? lol
I bought a 200 euro matrasse from Ikea and I thought it's on the expensive side cause you can get them for 15 to 50
@@RandomGuy-nm6bm well sure, You can get a $100 mattress here too. but it isn't worth a damn.
@@demandred1957 yep, a replacement for my old sleep number is about $800 more than it was 15 years ago. Love the bed, but like with so many other things in this world, it's grossly expensive. Especially when I received it and saw exactly what I got for that kind of money, though, their customer service and warranty have been exceptional.
Of course when you consider you sleep every single day it's a rational way to justify a grossly marked up product such as a bed. Take total cost divided by the days [10-20 years] a mattress should last then it comes out to be a pretty cheap investment even though the initial cost is quite high comparative to cheaper [traditional] mattresses. Depending on how expensive the mattress it should come out less than $1 per nights sleep. idk about everyone else, but spending that much to get a great nights sleep in a bed I find comfortable is well worth it.
@@demandred1957 if its polyurethane then yes u can.
We've had a latex mattress now for 7 years and it's the most amazing mattress I've ever slept on. No change in the feel of the bed in all that time. I'll never switch to anything else.
Same!
was it 2000dollars as they claim?
@@fidelcatsro6948 Yes
Do u flip it?
Latex mattresses have been known to last a lifetime. No toxic fumes breathed in during sleep. I bought mine using dunlop process for about $1k. Dunlop process is longest lasting.
They're definitely worth it. There are toppers too. You don't sink in like memory foam and they don't get as hot either.
I have latex toppers on both of my conventional mattresses, and they really help my back. One in Florida, and the other in Illinois. In each case I bought very firm mattresses, but found them too hard. The latex toppers are wonderful in my opinion.
They aren't
I personally prefer the texture and spring of Talalay process latex foam rubber over the Dunlop process. Having said that, if you are to have an entirely latex foam mattress, then you would still want your core to be a Dunlop process latex, as it is typically more robust and supportive compared to Talalay process latex. It is also cheaper. Just use Talalay process latex for the top layer to add additional softness and comfort, since it is able to deform more before rebounding compared to Dunlop process latex.
Didn't understand 😢
@@Zara-ZAF Talalay process latex is made with even fewer additives and uses a different mechanism for foam retention during the curing phase which results in a more open and compressible foam structure. You can sink into the foam more for any given "softness" of foam before it begins to spring back and support you. So it feels wildly different than Dunlop process latex, which can feel a bit like a rubbery polyurethane foam sometimes. Talalay process latex is more floppy and has a lot more give before it springs back, so it is a rather novel experience when you get your first pillow made from it. I highly recommend it. The one I've got is from Malouf, though there are other brands who make them that aren't as pricey. Just expect a Talalay process latex pillow to cost aroung $60 USD or more, depending on size, firmness, loft, and any additional marketing buzzwords.
Where can I catch a talalay and dunolop Pokémon?
@@GamingTaylor It really does sound like those should be the names of Pokémon.
Great...
Now i want a latex mattress
Ditto. Aren't some people allergic? They said it's hypoallergenic, but they ask in the hospital if you are allergic to latex.
I'd pay that. For biodegradable and ethical standards, this is a great price.
thats the problem the earth friendly stuff cost money.
Normal matresses seem pretty eco friendly as well
@@forloop7713 providing you keep them for a decade
You rich.
Ethical? First world fuel is hypocrisy
Wow...Respect for these workers 💫
I didn't know it was harvested by hand..
Worth every cent.
Like those workers get paid well. Most of the price of that mattress is corporate profit.
Im almost halfway thru the video and Im really hoping they touch back on more strongly about the biodegradable nature of latex. I cant fathom the number of mattresses that go to landfill and will be there for thousands of years due to polyurethanes and fabrics that cant degrade.
Also own a full latex mattress and its nice and firm without causing pressure points. Had it for three years so if anyone has any questions Ill be happy to answer
What brand did you buy and where did you get it?
Yeah but what are the homeless on the west coast gonna sleep on? Btw...polyethylene and urethanes DO degrade.
So does it feel like you sleep on a cloud? Does it feel flat or does it shape to your body
Bro said he'll be happy to answer and then left everyone hanging
L0L
I have one, bought 26 years ago. Best mattress I ever had.
Are u serious?
@@Zara-ZAF Yes sir, I am. I currently live in a different country, but my father is still using the mattress as of today. He was living at my place, then he moved in a different location and he took the mattress with him because it's great. Still great after 26 years. Amazing investment, I bought for half of the price, thanks to a coupon I got from a colleague.
I love these people, what an industry!
Brilliant!
What may be the best stocks to buy right away or add to a watchlist in order to benefit from the current market downtrend? It can be difficult to make money in stocks when institutional investors are the ones driving the selling, but I recently read an article about people who made over six figures during the recent crisis.
Thank you for teaching this senior something new!!! I always thought that latex was 100% man made...this was a surprise to me!
Thank you for showing also the history.
The history of rubber is crazy.
(The Devil's Milk: A Social History of Rubber is such a good book)
Avocado mattress owner here, too. I like it a lot and would definitely recommend.
How is latex possibly hypoallergenic? Latex allergies are fairly common. It'd be like selling hypoallergenic peanuts.
I was thinking the same thing lol. But they said latex core, so maybe if you're not actually in contact with the latex it's different? Are latex fumes a thing? Regardless, if you're not allergic to latex, it's a great option if you're allergic to dust mites and such (that's usually what companies mean when they say hypoallergenic)
Yeah I'm allergic to latex, I don't get it lol
Synthetic latex is from petrochemicals. Real latex from rubber trees is hypoallergic.
I bought one 15 years ago, its still going strong and holding its shape. I was lucky to get 10 years out of a coil or memory foam mattress, even when turning them on a regular basis.
Moment of silence to the likes of Doroteo who breaks his back so that we may sleep with ease at night
Too the workers... yall are appreciated 🙏
We only have latex mattresses (3). So heavy and expensive but worth every penny. Two of the beds have organic wool toppers that take it to the next level in comfort. Our toddler has a latex crib mattress. My back pain has disappeared after the upgrade. Best beds ever.
Lmao itchiest sleeping experience of all time
@@Insider_Business_TLGRM Why?
Do you know the density and the brand?
I just got a latex hybrid mattress and I’m very happy with it.
I wonder if plumbing can be used like on modern maple farms. Could they tap the trees and run a line under vacuum to a single reservoir?
That was the most interesting commercial I've watched in a while.
Natural latex looks great, I want one, even though the price tag is large!
Ah yes, latex is so hypoallergenic because no one is EVER allergic to latex.
I'd hate to be allergic to my bed... So Im stuck with a sprung matteras (some low quality memory foam mattresses use cheaper low quality latex in their foam so cant even use them)/.
Will be upgrading from memory foam mattress. Thanks BI👍
is there a difference between organic and inorganic latex from end use perspective?
Your focus on sustainable companies is brilliant, but, as Klose says: "We're keen on profits". If this is the route to go, kudos.
Both my mattress and pillow are natural latex. I always wondered how it was harvested. This certainly makes me appreciate my bed even more than before. Nothing beats latex.
If you enjoy latex you’d be surprised if you checked out a mattress from Mcroskey in San Francisco, California.
They handmake each mattress using natural materials and are the best in the world.
From $5,000 to about $17,000.
This channel did a disservice to mattresses ignoring them. They’re the best in the nation and only make 20 mattresses total a day not hundreds or thousands.
@@HashdollarsImagine paying 17k for a matress lmao, I doubt they feel 15k comfier than these 😂
@@astatalol well you’re doubts aren’t reality. Because the reality is you’ll never know to be able to compare right?

@@Hashdollars thats because its California- you do realise that 17 grand is not chunk change right? 5 figures for just the more-sustainable mattress, meanwhile youtube is showing me Casper and Nectar ads for my mattresses 😂
With california's luck the homeless may end up sleeping on those imho
@@noahboat580 so you think they only sell mattresses to people in California?? That’s dumb.
UA-cam is showing you ads for what you can afford. It’s called an algorithm and it’s designed to show you ads that you are the demographic for.
I have one of these for 1 year now and it does WONDERS for the back
Best investment i ever made, remember you spend 1/3 of your life sleeping.
I paid around 3k for mine (Canadian Dollar), and do the proper rotations and other maintenance required, it is going strong after 2 years, and I have had no sleep issues since. well worth the investment, Also if you are going to get this get a really good (preferably natural) mattress protector as a base-layer before the bed sheets.
The only cons are it is super heavy and really hard to move it because its really hard to control it, and there is that rubbery smell that takes a couple of weeks to mellow down.
Do the proper research to make sure who ever is selling you it is selling you %100 organic latex certified mattress.
I bought a natural latex mattress off Amazon for just $800 and it’s super heavy and comfortably firm just like I like it.
Very informative..I never gave it much thought..in fact I thought latex was man-made.
There's both natural latex like this and synthetic latex which is made from petroleum byproducts.
This looks really comfortable! watching this while laying on my Uratex Permahard 😂
Oh wow I drove past that plantation on my way to Honduras a few years ago. It's really big!!! I just remember seeing endless rubber trees with cuts in the bark for many miles. I never knew that company made foam mattresses. Looks comfortable! Greetings from the jungles of Belize 🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌄
While I love seeing this, especially having a knack for practices like the way the latex is harvested since it requires a healthy environment that seems brimming with life and people who understand it - that's not a very high price for a mattress, is it? I mean memory foam ones are fairly expensive already, many well done things involving sleep hygiene are and well - it's something you're surely going to use on a regular basis
We will always support this channel. The content here are the best.
This was a wonderful video. Did chuckle when the plantation owner said part of the certification was 'follow the laws of your country'
Bravo to the owners and workers for caring so much!
natural latex is one of the best material in mattresses and pillow, my natural latex pillow lasted 20 years btw and suitable for allergic people, believe it or not the shape still the same and lasted for 20 years, for that kind of price u wont get in any other foam
All of those workers should receive a free matress or 2 😊
this is my favorite voice over artist
Avacado (the company that sells these mattresses) also sells organic latex pillows as well - which I would also highly recommend! Best investment I’ve ever made!
I like how they try to justify $2,600 for a mattress when the guy harvesting the latex probably doesn't make that in a year.
Exactly. The people doing all the work are paid almost nothing and profits are syphoned upwards. Capitalism runs on exploitation.
2600 for a mattress is like the regular price. I got one of the cheaper hybrid spring/memory foam and it was 2k.
Also you could say the same about the phone/tablet/computer you are typing this on.
But does not incur the cost of setting up and maintaining a viable business.
You would like the guy to enjoy the profit but have no responsibility for the debt.
If only that guy could hand deliver the bucket of fresh sap to me so i can pour it all over my bedframe and have a wonderful mess, then Id love to hand him my 2600 directly
assuming they pay minimum wage, it's 101.05GTQ/day for agricultural work. assuming 5 days/wk at that, it comes out to 26k GTQ/yr, or $3300/yr.
What a hard working farmer, hopefully he earns good sallary not underpaid ❤
Last line of the video is they earn "below minimum wage". They are exploited worse than farmers in America. Look it up. Agricultural workers are exempt from minimum wage laws. They are the mose exploited people globally and it's horrible!
@@adamlapins Close but the last line isn't that and when they're talking about exploited workers they mention that's in regards to uncertified producers rather than the one featured in this video.
My dad does this job he gets like a dollar worth for tapping 40 trees and if u tap 400 trees a day u get 10 dollars. And it's done in alternate days so u can work only 15 days a month it only gives 150 dollars a month. U have depend on other jobs on the off days. And u have consider climatic factors too.. 😅
@@ashwintom7088 whatttt? Thats a scam… 10 dollars is worth like my son’s lunch
Avocado Green Mattress puts about 1" worth of layer in there mattress and charge $6800, the rest is coils, and other layers of foam and fillers. Silk and Snow charges $1350 for the same thing
Needed a new mattress 2 months ago. Did a lot of research, read many reviews, went to several stores more than once and tried them all. I don't like latex. It feels hard. Plus they are super heavy, meaning you need a very strong bed frame. The bounce feels odd and not made for side sleepers.
Its so similar to what we have in Kerala, India 🇮🇳 . 80% are rubber tree planters
I think there is a lot of untapped technology in Pine sap. Used to be harvested for glue for ships, I think pine resonates so useful that it could be altered in ways, cheaply, and effectively to do whatever you needed to.
Hehe untapped
I bet it would smell lovely too
Damn I respect hard workers like him
I literally have 6 of these sitting in the same wrap bags outside. I should probably go get those.
I'm more than happy with a typical futon thrown on the floor. I'd never put that much money into a mattress.
love the videos
20 years ago my grandparents did the exact same thing and including cocoa plant. I love running around and encountered tigers, snakes and monkeys. Those were the days.
yesterday I didn't know latex mattraces existed and today I want one.
I wonder what these workers are payed compared to the price the L.A based company sells them for
The question you should be asking is how much the workers' cost of living is, because I can guarantee you that it's orders of magnitude lower than those living in LA.
@@MrPesht we get it california's especially expensive. But i wonder why? 🤡
I have three disc replacements and have had to become an expert user of mattresses. Latex mattresses, sadly, are nothing special. A bit cooler than synthetic foam. But, ironically, the best mattress for neutral body positioning and good support along the spine, sacrum, and legs, has been... A standard pocketed coil mattress, lol.
had a degen slip disc op, thanks for the info, this is what i needed. what brand do u recommend though ?
Sounds like BS to me, but whatever.
I want to shake his hand. So skilled and well spoken.
I bought one of these mattresses when I was in a relationship. When we separated, I moved out and bought a cheaper mattress. I miss my old mattress 😆
I love my Dunlopillo Talalay latex Premium mattress. I bought it secondhand and it still superior to many new mattresses. I love the point elasticity that only latex can offer.
If it's from China it's fake.
The narrator’s voice is magical
I've had one of these. I can tell you it's another level
I never heard of latex mattress. How does it compare to vertical spring mattress?
Makes you feel bad for the people allergic to latex.
Yeah-- I wonder if it's just the *core* of the mattress and they're not exposed to physically at all, it would be safe-- it's questions like that i wish these videos would answer because I'd kill for a mattress like that-- especially the sustainability aspect of it-- but my best friend's wife has a wicked latex allergy.
@@MoonLitChildmaybe you should spend less time with your best friends wife
And even more bad for the people who develop a latex allergy later in life. I developed ones a few years back at the same time as a neoprene allergy. I'm glad I didn't have a latex mattress!
My family has rubber plantation in Kerala (India) and latex being used for mattresses as a concept was so alien till i saw this. In fact most families in India and even in Kerala (which leads India’s rubber production) use coir or cotton based mattresses and even cheap or expensive foam mattresses are such recent introductions.
But even so $2600 for a latex foam mattress is unimaginable here. Even rich folks pay max $300-800 for their mattress.
One last thing, latex is highly inflammable so how is this material cured to protect against fire? Cos otherwise people sleeping on these mattresses are pretty much skinny dipping in a pool of gasoline
The mattresses are wrapped in wool, cotton and other materials which are flame retardants. The more affoardable synthetic memory foam is just as flammable.
I was also thinking the same especially where rubber plantation owners cutting the trees down as the price of rubber is low. Why did we know about it?
so coir and cotton are not flammable at all?
@@NaNa-cq8ckThey are. But nothing compares to how fast latex burns out.
Synthetic latex is fire resistant tho.
sometimes we get good news and this is good news ...Thank you
It's really cool to know.. now I'm not complaining why this staff is expensive.
saying they're hypoallergenic is very ironic when latex allergies are so common
To be quite honest latex mattresses are a lot cheaper in the long run.... I bought a reversible queen size one in Australia for only $1200 & it came with a 25 year guarantee!
Most " spring " mattresses of that size ( that you can't turn over) go for $1000 up to $4000 & " if your lucky" will last 10 years AND are a pain in the ass to dispose of coz they are NOT environmentally friendly..........
Remember playing with these in my grandmas backyard when I was a kid
Latex mattresses are the best. We purchased one years ago and will last the rest of my life. They are fantastic to sleep on.
Wait a minute. Hypoallergenic? How does that work with a latex allergy?
I remember upgrading my natural latex bed for memory foam which was almost 4x the price of natural latex beds. now, memory foams are cheaper and people are upgrading from it to latex foam. my conclusion....follow what you like best and not the trends. lol🤣
I'd be so happy if these are cool enough and I believe we have equivalents here in Southeast Asia. I still use my polyurethane mattress for 4yrs though, might as well seek for an upgrade soon.

To obtain financial freedom, one must either be a business owner, an investor or both, generating passive income, particularly on a weekly and monthly basis. That's the key to living a financially stable life. This trick has never failed. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life and put this basis to work and practice. Jessica Darrell have been a great manager, mentor and guide. Her support and advice has helped shaped my crypto trading career.
I get a lot of recommendations for Jessica Darrell from friends. Her strategy must be good for people to testify a lot about her.
I have been getting so many recommendations about her as well
how do I reach her
For real she's very profitable
Whole life is a joke in every sense, the investment side of a whole life policy gives the poor return and stabilized the rich
How does this whole crypto thing works I'm interested in it and willing and ready to invest heavily but I need an assistant to properly guide me through on how to make a good startup and be successful in it without making mistakes
Sangat menyedihkan. Harga karet mentah di negeri saya sangat murah di ambil dari petani. . .
Iya, rata² dari petani cuman 7ribu perkilo
Dan saat ditimbang pun pasti ada timbangan mati sekitar 10kg 😢
Thank you 💯❤️👍
Dorotheo papito god bless you for such a beautiful tarea mi rey ❤
2 grand for a mattress? Must be a heck of a mattress!
latex mattress are cheaper in India $400-500 for Queen size $600-800 for king size..
Memory foam ones are very cheap starts at $100
how much to ship one from there to USA?
i desperately need one for my bad back but too broke for American prices.
@@bloodlove93 hmu with ur requirement, i will se what i can do
@@bloodlove93 Do some sports, a mattress can cure your laziness.
the quality is probably not comparable. Especially foam mattress made in India don't want to use. Who know what garbage they are mixing into this foam in India. I wouldn't trust the manufacturers there at all >.
@@smallego8068 one, I hate sports, two I'm disabled with severe chronic agony.
So no, not a lazy thing, so take the crappy suggestion and give it to someone else.
What company? Any recommendations for latex beds?
Natural latex cores, unlike memory foam, are not hypoallergenic to people with latex allergies….
Can't afford a matress . . . I hang from a door-frame using my toenails.
had no idea there was natural latex, this is amazing.. we need to replace plastics with some natural product
Damn looks good, like I could take a bite out of it.
Literally to the 1% who's reading this, God bless you, and may your dreams come true, stay safe and have a wonderful day.❤❤❤❤
